BlueStacks 0.9.30 for Mac offers a solution for users who want to download and enjoy their favorite Android apps on their Mac. Bluestacks allows you to take advantage of the increasing number of new apps and games added to the Google Play store every day.

BlueStacks 0.9.30 for Mac comes as free software that is supported by ads. Download takes a bit longer as the app is 112MB in size. The installation, however, is quick and easy. After the installation process completes, users can start searching for their favorite apps using the search bar or browse though more than 750,000 apps available on the Google Play store. After selecting the app, BlueStacks will download and install the app automatically, in just one click. However, when you first launch the app an advertisement will pop up. While the ads are rather distracting, the app functions perfectly fine. Users will find the app a pleasure to use, especially those who are familiar with the Android platform. Even though it's very functional, the app lacks a clean, polished, and refined look; but this is acceptable since the app seems to be in beta.

Other than the distracting ads, BlueStacks 0.9.30 for Mac is a very capable solution for any Mac user looking for a way to run their favorite Android app on a Mac.

Developer's Description

BlueStacks and their 140 million users empower the world to play Android games directly on Mac. As the largest mobile gaming platform for PC and Mac, we give players the tools they need to be the more competitive. Assign your keyboard and mouse to the actions you want to perform in your game with our simple keymapping tool.
Save you keymap and use it each time you play to save time. Not only can you map taps buy you can also map tilting, swiping, and many more native mobile actions directly to your keyboard or mouse. Imagine how much quicker you can be in games like VainGlory or Clash Royale if you could point with the precision of a mouse. App Player now acts more akin to a Browser interface, allowing users to play multiple apps at once. Keep your messenger running in a tab while you take a stab at new games. Play an app while another is downloading ... the possibilities for use are endless. Users can now enjoy easy access to functions like set location, shake the screen, adjust volume, and many more. Try out all these actions inside the new Toolbar on the left side of App Player. To fully immerse yourself inside of App Player, simply click the Full Screen button.

We constantly look at our users' feedback and are ready to release new optimizations for some of the most requested apps. Here are some of our favorites: We added a BlueStacks TV window to App Player, and inside we've curated live streams based on what we think you specifically would be interested in. Don't waste time searching for a stream when you could already be watching one. We've cut away all the special equipment, software, and hassle to bring you the easiest streaming experience. Once you're live, you can easily keep track of your viewers and interact with them in your Twitch chat. Don't forget to use headphones. Watching a game is always more fun with friends. We added real time Twitch chat to all live streams so you can join in on the conversation. Share your live stream quickly to Facebook and Twitter. Add #BlueStacksTV so that we can feature your stream on our social media. We can't wait to see how you use BlueStacks TV and make it your own! We'll be watching so we can improve your experience as fast as possible.
