If you’re looking to purchase or install new apps, it’s done the same way as any other Android device. You can also search for the app to reinstall it from the store automatically, and you can use the Play Store browser on Chrome or other similar browsers to push the installation directly to your device. Whether you purchased a specific app five years ago on Android, or you just bought an app a couple of weeks ago, it’ll appear in your library. Your Library page shows every single individual app or game you’ve ever installed or purchased on your device, and you can install each of them by clicking on the Install button next to each app. Enter the list, then click on “Library” at the top of this page to navigate away from the sparse “Updates” page. To install from your pre-established library of Android apps, you’ll need to click “My Apps and Games” at the top of the list. Since you previously logged into Google Play when first launching the app, you’ll see your standard number of options appear inside BlueStacks’ terminal, including your account name, your library of apps and games, and the ability to browse suggested categories like books, movies, and more. Use your mouse to select the horizontal triple-lined menu button that will be familiar to any long-time Android user to open the sliding menu to the left of your screen. More importantly, however, is the ability to access your own account. You can search through apps at the top of the browser, select one of the options from the carousel of highlighted apps and games at the top of the screen, and scroll through the suggested games below. If you’ve ever used Google Play on a tablet, you’ll know what to expect here the app is identical.

Unlike the BlueStacks App Store, Google Play is entirely unchanged here. When you enter your login information for Google Play, you’ll be redirected back to the app, now able to install apps and launch content from within the store.
