There is no doubt that over the past few years, Google has reached a very omni-present status on the mobile and tablet markets from all over the world. With Google’s expansion, there’s no surprise that the number of games and apps available on Google Play Store has risen quite a bit.
Aiming to unite the advantages of desktop with mobile platforms, Andy is a comprehensive cross-platform Android emulator that makes it possible for you to install and run any Google Play Store application on your Mac’s desktop.
Being an Android emulator, evidently, you will require a valid Google account in order to take advantage of what Andy has to offer. Just like is the case with other Android devices, once you sign in, you are basically agreeing to all Google’s terms and policy, so, keep in mind that the same rules apply.
The obvious advantages are that with the help of Andy, you no longer have to submit yourself to mobile platforms’ common limitations: you are no longer strictly dependent on your mobile device’s storage capabilities, you are no longer forced to tire your eyes by staring for hours into relatively small screens, and, probably the best thing, you don’t have to sacrifice the way you interact within the game using touch and gyro elements.
There’s more good news, as Andy enables you to use your mobile phone as a joystick or controller, hence, you can lay back on a couch or your favorite play place and enjoy an enhanced gaming experience that combines the best elements from both your Mac and your Android device.
If you are an Android fan, then maybe you will be delighted to hear that Andy enables you to run all Google Play Store communication apps and X86 native apps, to access Android’s local system files, and to synchronize your apps installed on your Mac with your Android device.
One thing to keep in mind though: you will need a fairly competent Mac in order to get the best out of Andy. During our test, the Virtualbox instance used to power the app needed about 1.6 GB RAM and about 100% of a CPU core, on a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.
Last but not least, Andy features ARM support, camera integration, microphone integration, hardware console, desktop push notifications, and two view modes, namely portrait and landscape.
Andy manages to break the barrier between desktop and mobile platforms, and to provide you with the best of both worlds.
