Running Android apps under Windows 10 with Bluestacks

[chrisp9au (Chris)]

I have successfully got ASIAIR Pro running under Windows 10 on the PC in my new observatory, using the Bluestacks Android simulator.
Now I want get SkySafari 6 Pro running as well, but am having issues with downloading the app under Bluestacks.
Google Play Store under Android indicates whether you already own an app.
Under Bluestacks, Play Store doesn't give this indication.
This means that to get SkySafari to download under Bluestacks I will have to pay for it again?
Has anyone else had this type of issue? Has anyone fixed this type of issue!
Thanks, Chris

It seems Google do not support any simulators at all. The only non Windows platform they do support is Chrome. Apparently it is dangerous to use Google Play Store under a simulator as the Google payments system is not supported, and you could lose your money. OK for free apps though.

Yeah, bluestax is a bit feral. Best do our purchases on android - you get 15 mins to see if they work on blustax before your refund runs out - some programs do, some dont!

BTW I also use ASIAIR Pro that way, but have yet to load sky safari.
