How to Access Mobile-Only Apps from your Computer
1.
2. Installing
Bluestacks
• On
a
PC
you
can
download
it
straight
from
www.bluestacks.com.
• However,
on
a
Mac
your
best
bet
is
to
download
it
from:
hAp://bluestacks-‐app-‐player-‐
mac.en.soEonic.com/mac.
• Once
you
have
Bluestacks
you
can
use
it
to
download
apps
the
same
way
you
would
on
a
mobile
device.

8. Overall
Thoughts
• Overall,
we’d
say
that
TextGram
is
a
real
winner
for
creaLng
simple
quotes,
and
will
make
a
great
addiLon
to
your
photo
arsenal.
• If
you
want
the
convenience
of
a
pre-‐loaded
quote
library,
it
might
be
worth
paying
for
the
premium
InstaWisdom
app.
• For
anything
more
than
quotes,
you’ll
probably
want
to
sLck
with
Can
or
PicMonkey.
