Top Rated Genymotion Alternatives
It is a really good application to emulate almost any phone or tablet, so you can have any resolution of phone and see if and application created on it can run or display good. it is really fast, comparing with other emulators I have worked Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price is a little to high and a few times I got an error which I cannot use a virtualized phone. Maybe is my PC, but it does not specify. I have not search for a solution either way, could be easy but it is possible for this to happen. Also you need Virtual box to run this application, I use VMWare mostly, it should work with it.

Genymotion is a good Android device emulator that don't use too much computer RAM to run. This help to build and run apps very quickly. It can be used as a side option for Android Studio if you are a developer. It can run without problems with any APK that can be installed with an easy Drag and Drop.

Not all emulated devices are supported by Google Play Services. A tricky procedure grants the possibility to install them but the user has to know exactly which version is compatible with the emulated device. A better and more user friendly automated solution with a wizard tool could improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can cover all type of mobile screen resolutions in this tool. The installation and use for even new user is very simple. The best thing is it is easy to drag and drop .apk file over from email as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It takes time to connect to few of virtual devices may be due to large data in size to load. Also sometime it get auto disconnect in case keep it stand by. Apart from this nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Genymotion is one of the best emulators available for Android. The best attraction of Genymotion is that it uses less amount of RAM compared to Android Emulators that we download from Android Studio. The most intuitive thing is that it gives more control over how and what you want in your emulator. For example it can simulate the WiFi or 2G connection as well as fake GPS location. Also it has so many options to customize the virtual device OS, display resolution, performance etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The little downside of Genymotion is that it doesn't come with Google Play Services bundled with it, you need to add Open GApps manually. It takes some months to get a newly release Android OS in Genymotion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Is really easy to configure, let you choose and customize lot of parameters and specs from the virtual android device (virtual machine). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In the old days, it was more complicated to install google services on the virtual device. You had to download them from opengapps and flash them into the device.
Now is way easier, there is a gapp button included on the menu, and it will do it all for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like the most about Geny Motion is that it has the power to emulate so many different kinds of mobile devices from different manufacturers like Google Nexus, Samsung, HTC and more. This makes it easy to test an application on multiple phone types while using on software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is quite heavy compared to Bluestack probably because it comes bundled with Virtual box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use Genymotion for a long time. Best is that it does not consume much memory compare to Native Android emulators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Each phone image is larger to download. Other than that nothing to dislike in that app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The company can access virtual devices as guest operating systems and windows as host operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Genymotion makes the computer to be very slow and especially when it's the 4th generation and below. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
