Compared to Nox anyway, and even that was so cool when I first found it. I've heard of LD Player as well but haven't used it. Is it more difficult to get non-gaming apps working?

Last I tried, many non-gaming apps do not function anymore because google identifies the device as non-physical.

I think its opt-in by the app developer, Authy (shitty company, I'm aware) does not work on Bluestacks. That's a pain, because I've used Bluestacks to migrate auth codes before.
