Bluestacks isn't perfect, however. Portions of the app look a little rough and browsing Android can feel unintuitive with a mouse and keyboard. Some players will, inevitably, always prefer an authentic mobile experience too. Even if you have a Windows laptop with a touch screen, it'll never be quite the same as using a real smartphone or tablet. Slower-paced games translate pretty well, but anything fast and swipe-heavy can be hard to control. Of course, Bluestacks can tackle other types of applications too. If you want to explain how a new feature works in Instagram, for instance, or react to a movie trailer on YouTube, this could be a solid option.
