It actually starts a device emulator like i have plugged in actual device to my computer, the installation of application through adb works like piece of cake.

You get real feel of devices like some apps i work with need a particular VPN connection and the emulator picks up same internet as my laptop, not requiring any specific configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thats a tough one to answer, the one thing though (for all i know its related to ADB install) the custom tablets don't pick my app that well sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Used as an Android emulator, it's easy to rotate the screen and demonstrate how the product I'm selling adapts to the screen. It gives my team a lot of flexibility as we are able to demo our software online and close business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It requires that I open multiple windows-- Genymotion + whatever device I'm using it to run. It becomes cumbersome and at times requires a full uninstall and reinstall cycle. Hard to install and set up initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the emulator performance you got with Genymotion. I also like the different devices you can try on and the integration with the OS (for instance, copying and pasting text from your PC to the Android emulation is seamless. Also installing apk files to the Genymotion emulator with the drag-and-drop is practical). Its user interface is really easy to use and even the inexperienced user can install and have it running in seconds! Having the most commercial images is another plus of using Genymotion, because you can quickly discard possible issues in the most used devices. Be able to create custom devices is also appreciated, because you can test your apps in more specific or odd devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features are closed in the free versions, but you can live with that if you are an independent developer. Those features are more focused for business niche, which can afford them. For example, in the free version you have to redownload the images when a new Genymotion version is released to enjoy all the provided features and make it compatible with that new version, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First, maybe it's worth mention that I'm not a native Android developer, but I've been building a lot of Android apps based on Cordova (you know, hybrid app with web stack toolset) and hence, have to find ways to make life easier. Genymotion is really a helpful tool I can find

* Incredibly fast! Also, it's easy to setup and use, handy and useful for non-Android developers

* A whole lot of devices, installing by just one click, very handy to test and compare cross devices. We even have OEM customized build installed, pretty friendly.

* Just like connecting your real devices to computer via a cable, with full root access via adb, remote debugging (for web views) with Chrome ...

* Nice and handy mocks, especially useful for testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No such a thing called dislike, indeed. But maybe the price of it, I myself prefer one-time payment instead of annually charge, but it's merely preference, and I don't really need those extra features all the time, especially for testing hybrid mobile apps across multiple devices.

The first thing that really catches your perception is how amazingly and incredibly fast Genymotion is: from the very first time, you will notice that is really like having Android running on a real device, while it is emulated using VirtualBox. Moreover, you get a full set of tools that will make your life easier, first of which the network conditioner, that can help you troubleshooting your connectivity service without external proxies.

As a user of both the personal and the business licence, I don't really like the gap between the two accounts: while they keep on adding tools into the business account, they leave the personal one behind, so that new users cannot have a true scent of what Genymotion is. Moreover, the idea of indie developer would be great, but the fact that is billed annually with a higher cost than expected is scaring a lot of developers. Last thing, the lack of Play Services (you can install it anyway) is something you don't really want when you need to test Google Services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Mac for development and use split screen with Android Studio and Genymotion emulator, its very nice fast, reliable, good features, drag and drop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometime when i put my device to sleep and comeback after a while, the emulator is running fine, but the pipe to adb is broken, i think this is the main issue for me, so i had to restart the emulator again to make it work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a rookie android developer, the current state of the Android Studio virtualization suite is still new and sometimes bug. I got Genymotion as a virtualization enviroment for my application debugging. Haven't looked back to the standard Android Studio AVDs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can't be run on low-end pcs, even if you have a nice amount of ram and a decent CPU it can take forever to boot a virtual device. Looking forward some fixes about this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you're working with Android Development you need to test your applications fast, hassle-free and within some parameters you might need. Genymotion will help you make that really easy to try, debug and present your applications without any kind of issue when setting up your desired virtual android.

The price can mean some real expenses if You're beginning into Android Development, luckily they offer a free version you can use to test and debug your applications without any kind of limitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rebooting the device is quite fast and hence much less painful. Testing in general is much easier as it's comparatively faster than other emulators. Setting up part is also quite easy and one time thing to do. One can run multiple different devices virtually without actually testing them on physical devices.

There are other emulators provided by google which are free of cost. Though it's a nice tool to have but still some might not prefer spending extra money for speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fastest Android emulator in the market. Easy to setup and use. Free for personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Somewhat quirky. If things are going well then that's awesome but if something starts to fail then debugging the issue is hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
