Installing Remix OS Player is incredibly simple, simply download the file found on the Jide site (link below), then simply open the file and follow the instructions given. These frame skips I attributed to the Alpha nature of the software and hope that future releases fix most of these problems. Sideloading apps was possible and all the apps I tested ran correctly but were held back by very sluggish performance and major frame skips. The Play Store is pre-installed and whilst I could browse the store freely, I have been unable to download any apps as of yet despite attempting to bug fix for several hours. Remix OS Player does come with bloatware and has ads in the app drawer which cannot be removed. While the tools are extensive and future potential is apparent, at the moment there are some things holding back the software. I initially enjoyed the experience and appreciate the possibilities as I usually have a few apps running via ARC Welder.

But what makes it stand out from the crowd in a big way is that unlike Android Studio and other emulators, Remix OS Player aims to let Android developers optimize their apps for the Android PC/Chrome OS environment because of its mouse and multiple window support. Remix OS Player is based on Google’s own Android Studio. EXE and can be run as simply as any other program. “Remix OS Player” is currently only available for Windows PCs however, Mac support is coming in the future.
