NetMirror for PC in Your Browser
Tip: In Chrome or Edge, you can turn the site into a desktop shortcut. Open the browser menu, look for "Cast, save and share" or "Apps", and choose to install it or create a shortcut. It then opens in its own window like a program.
- Open Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
- Visit NetMirror Web. Search for a title and press play.
- Press F on most players, or click the full screen icon, to fill your screen.
Run the App with BlueStacks
An emulator is a program that pretends to be an Android phone inside a window. BlueStacks is the most popular free one.
Before you start: BlueStacks asks for at least 4 GB of RAM and works better with 8 GB. Check your RAM by right-clicking the Start button, choosing System, and looking at "Installed RAM".
-
Get BlueStacks from bluestacks.com and run the setup file. This is the slowest part, so give it a few minutes.
-
While that installs, download the NetMirror APK from this page. It goes to your Downloads folder.
-
Open BlueStacks and wait for its home screen.
-
Drag the NetMirror APK file from your Downloads folder and drop it on the BlueStacks window. It installs on its own in a few seconds.
-
Click the new icon on the BlueStacks home screen.
Better picture on a big monitor: In BlueStacks settings, open the display options and pick the wide screen layout or a higher resolution. It makes the app look less like a stretched phone.
On a Mac
For NetMirror on a Mac, the browser is the easiest route and works on every model. Emulator support depends on your Mac's chip. If you have an iPhone too, note that the phone can't install the APK either. Both use the web version.

What About Windows 11 Android Apps?
Windows 11 used to run Android apps through the Amazon Appstore. Microsoft shut that feature down in March 2025, so it isn't an option anymore. An emulator or the browser are the two ways left.
Fixes for PC Problems
BlueStacks is very slow
Close other heavy programs, especially games and browser tabs. In BlueStacks settings, give it more RAM and CPU cores if your computer has them.
Virtualization error
Some PCs need a setting called virtualization (VT-x or SVM) turned on for emulators to run well. It's in your computer's BIOS. BlueStacks has a guide for your brand of PC on its support site.
Video plays without sound
Check that BlueStacks isn't muted in the Windows volume mixer, and that the right speaker is picked.
The browser video keeps loading
Turn off any extension that blocks scripts on the page, then reload.
