I have Navionics on my iPhone. However, I prefer the convenience of creating routes on a much larger screen. To that end, I installed the Bluestacks 5 Android emulator on my Windows 10 PC; then I downloaded/installed the Navionics app from the Google Play Store. I also installed the Navionics ChartViewer webapp for Windows. Blue stacks will not run on an iPhone turning it into an android device. You can emulate android on a pc or mac. It is possible to mirror the iPhone and it's possible to remote in on one with proper software. You might get lucky and find one in search, it's repair or development software. On the Android Market, Nox is the most advanced and user-friendly emulator. It can also be seen as a decent bluestacks alternative in 2021. It’s no wonder that Nox is the best.
Dispute on the two major operating systems has never stopped: Android and iOS, which one is better? There is no doubt that both systems have their advantages. Android is an open source platform and users can get many excellent apps from multiple app stores while iOS users can only download apps from App Store due to some iOS restrictions. Many iOS users may have questions on how to run Android apps on iOS device. Currently, there is not an effective way available to realize it. Herein, we introduce you two alternative ways to enjoy Android apps on iPhone and iPad.
Best Aternatives to run Android apps on iOS devices


ApowerMirror

Regarding alternatives to run Android apps on iPad and iPhone, your best choice is ApowerMirror. It is one of the best screen mirroring applications, and it allows screen mirroring from Android to iOS devices in an easy way. Therefore, you don’t need to download the Android app you want to use on your iPhone or iPad or even jailbreak your iPhone or iPad. Before you start to use ApowerMirror, make sure both Android and iOS devices are connected to the same WiFi connection. Follow the simple guide below to see how to enjoy Android apps on iOS with this app.
- Download ApowerMirror on both devices.
- Launch the app on the two devices. On the Android device, find the blue mirror button on the bottom part of the interface, and it will search for other devices to connect.
- Select your iOS device from the found devices list. Tap on “Start Now” to show the Android screen on your iOS device.
Once the two devices are connected, you can view Android apps running on your iOS device. Here is a how-to video.

BlueStacks App Player

The second alternative, BlueStacks, is one of the best Android emulators in the market. It enables you to use Android apps on PC so you don’t have to run Android apps on iPhone or iPad. For iOS users, no matter you have an Android device by your side or not, you have access to all the Android apps and can even download them from the Google Play Store. This program is free to download and use. With it, you can use your mouse and keyboard to control your virtual smartphone and run Android apps on PC. Proceed to see how to use it to run Android apps.
- Download BlueStacks App Player on your PC.
- Launch the program, configure and log in with your Google account.
- On the Home page, find the search box on the top right side of the program, enter the name of the Android app that you want to use, and search for it.
- Install the Android app on BlueStacks, and then you can run it on PC.
Bluestacks Iphone
Note: BlueStacks App Player works well on the condition that the computer can provide 4GB free space, 2G RAM or more and an updated Graphic Driver. It may be common for you to encounter problems from time to time when using a computer with low performance.
For iOS users, it may be hard to run Android apps on iPad and iPhone directly, but you can use the above-mentioned alternatives to enjoy Android apps. No matter which tool you are going to choose, you’ll be able to enter a different world by accessing the Android apps that you never used on your iOS device.

Bluestacks Iphone Emulator
On the iPhone: the Details icon provides access to settings for Water Level, Shallow Area, Depth Shading, Fishing Ranges, etc. In the Bluestacks/Navionics app, running in Windows, Details only allows me to select Chart Layers, Overlays, and Orientation. That's it. ChartViewer has no Details icon at all. Menu>Map Options allows a choice of overlays and Safety Depth. Nothing more. Also, in the iPhone app, I can go to Menu>Settings>Units to specify whatever units of measurement I want. I can’t find any Settings option in the Bluestacks/Navionics app. Depth contours are in meters, and I can find no way to change that to feet. Interesting that routes synch between the iPhone and the Bluestacks/Navionics app; however, the contours represented in feet on the iPhone are represented in meters on the Bluestacks/Navionics app. Etc., etc...
Has anyone had experience with either the ChartViewer or the Bluestacks/Navionics version such that the app actually does operate in Windows as it does on an iPhone? Are these problems indicative of my lack of familiarity with the software, or are these constraints immutable?
