Installing an App on Laptop

Terrysdelight

Hi

I have an app on my android phone.  It's a solicitors conveyancing app.  Lots of forms, lots of questions etc and all on a small mobile phone screen.

I tried downloading it from Google Play to my laptop but I can't work out how to do it.   Do I have to download some different software in order to download the app to my windows laptop?

I think I need to download a trusted emulator and then I can download the app.

Any recommendations for an emulator?  My laptop is windows 10 and is a Lenovo ideapad.

Many thanks.

BlueStacks is a good one, but emulators will only run apps that don't have high level security requirements.
I don't know what the requirements are for the app you're using, but for example they won't run banking apps.

I currently use the NOX Android emulator on my laptop - with the default install it emulates a Samsung Galaxy S10 or S11. It works very well.

Not an answer to your original question, but (if you have one) you could connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to your phone to help with the data input.

I like this idea.  I tried using the emulator but the App really doesn't like it.

Can't the solicitor just send you the forms in a format that you can read on your laptop? 

I've had to go through a lot of conveyancing forms over the last year and have been able to read them on both my phone and laptop.

Perhaps if you told us what format the forms are in we could help you.

Probably better suited to a tablet rather than a phone.

More likely suited to a pen and paper

There isn’t an S11, unless you mean an S2?

I misremembered ... I've just checked my installation and there are a number of models, ranging from S8+ to S20 Ultra, plus some other phone/tablet models. Mine is set for an S10.
