True, Kik itself is free, but Bluestacks isn’t exactly pricey, and once you have it you can use it for far more than just Kik. It costs $2 a month to continue using after the free trial but is very good at what it does. It is a very effective Android emulator that enables you to play mobile games and use apps on your computer in much the same way as you would use them on a mobile device. It is a commercial program that has versions for both Windows and Mac. Though a whole host of them exist, the emulator I tend to use is Bluestacks. If your buddies are all on Kik, it’s the only viable option right now unless you want to be glued to your iPhone or iPad all day and night to stay in touch. It runs a little slow, as it isn’t a native app, but it does work. Everyone Emulator works different on every Pc.Ironically, even though there is a Kik app for iOS, the best way to get it on a Mac is to use an Android emulator that runs on Mac OS. I asked a few days ago if they were planning in use android 7, they say yes, but it will take a little time. I don't have this installed, but my eyes are in this one a while ago, didnt read any complaints, everybody seem happy, but sill in android 5. Is like they want you to pay to upgrade the full version. Don't know if today is changed but it seems that way. Always maximize the emulator (not full screen) to change between windows anytime but bluestacks occupies the bottom bar. Another thing about Bluestacks is, was ocuppying the hole screen because of the ads. I used this emulator a couple of years ago, it was great, but it came in a moment where the freaking update was ads, ads and mor ads, downloading games i don't want to, i know they want to earn their money, but not without my approval. The only ads you see in Nox, is in the bottom of the main screen, but it doesnt bother to me in any way.īluestacks :-s. The only thing i can say is Nox is 2 steps behind Memu, they are in Android 5 yet.

Resuming Memu play is my N° 1 Android Emulator, so far.Īlso i use Nox, which i installed after using Memu a while, so far Nox works great. Now, since i use memu and i use a LOT, i dont have see any kind of ads or something similar. Actually i use Memu Today, in fact is my prefered emulator to play the most games i like, i have 2 instances, one for android 5.+ and another to use Android 7.+.
