Download an Android emulator on your Mac OS X to run Google Play apps on your computer. An Android emulator runs a virtual device on your computer; it is like having an Android phone on your Apple computer. You can now play all your favorite mobile games like Candy Crush, Clash of Clans, The Simpsons Tapped Out, and Family Guy The Quest for Stuff or run your favorite mobile apps like Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Viber on your Mac computer.
