Genymotion Reviews & Product Details

Used by 8M+ professionals working within the mobile app ecosystem, Genymotion is a fully-featured Android emulator platform. It allows technical (developers and QA engineers) and non-technical (designers, sales, marketing, and any stakeholders) to ensure better performance quality and user experience on their Android apps. We run Android on the server to support three "use-case" families." Dev/Test/QA, VMI (including Demo/Training/Support use case), and Gaming. Four flavors are available: - Genymotion Desktop: for application development only. - Genymotion SaaS: we take care of all the infrastructure so users can focus on just using Android emulators in the cloud, the best way possible, with pre-configured templates, collaborative features, and timeouts if needed. - Genymotion Device Image (on AWS, Alibaba, Azure, GCP, and Oracle): Users can not only integrate it with their existing infrastructure to automate operations (Continuous Integration for Android applications testing, Functional and Performance Monitoring…). But also build their solution on top of Genymotion! - Genymotion On-premise: We provide an OS image to create virtual machines (VMs). You have an IP address and can use it on a browser. Hence, users have complete control of the device, install the image on their servers, but will have to manage their hypervisor.

Initial setup can be tricky, especially when integrating with custom automation scripts or older API versions. While most issues get resolved by customer support, the documentation for advanced workflows could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Genymotion: a good Android Device Emulator"

4/5

What do you like best about Genymotion?

Genymotion is a good Android device emulator that don't use too much computer RAM to run. This help to build and run apps very quickly. It can be used as a side option for Android Studio if you are a developer. It can run without problems with any APK that can be installed with an easy Drag and Drop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Genymotion?

Not all emulated devices are supported by Google Play Services. A tricky procedure grants the possibility to install them but the user has to know exactly which version is compatible with the emulated device. A better and more user friendly automated solution with a wizard tool could improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Genymotion:

The first running of a new device emulation could require a longer wait for the setup so don't drop it. If your virtual devices requires Google Services, I suggest to read some good tutorial about Open GAPPS to select the right installation pack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Genymotion solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an Android App developer often it is necessary to test UI response and accessibility on different devices (phone or tablet) with different screen resolutions or check if the logic for a more complex App works perfectly across 2 or more devices at the same time. Genymotion, as Android Studio, provide the perfect tool and options to manage more virtual devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes time to connect to few of virtual devices may be due to large data in size to load. Also sometime it get auto disconnect in case keep it stand by. Apart from this nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best Emulator for Android Developers"

5/5

What do you like best about Genymotion?

Genymotion is one of the best emulators available for Android. The best attraction of Genymotion is that it uses less amount of RAM compared to Android Emulators that we download from Android Studio. The most intuitive thing is that it gives more control over how and what you want in your emulator. For example it can simulate the WiFi or 2G connection as well as fake GPS location. Also it has so many options to customize the virtual device OS, display resolution, performance etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Genymotion?

The little downside of Genymotion is that it doesn't come with Google Play Services bundled with it, you need to add Open GApps manually. It takes some months to get a newly release Android OS in Genymotion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Genymotion:

If you're looking for a fast and convenient way for Android app testing and debugging, go for Genymotion. It is especially useful when you've requirements to test your app which islocation based as it has a great tool to spoof GPS location. Also, if you've low hardware specs, you won't be able to run the Android Emulator that is shipped with Android Studio, but Genymotion will work for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Genymotion solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a professional app developer, I have been using Genymotion for all of my development, debugging and testing. It really smoothens the process of development rather than using physical device. We're mainly using Genymotion for GPS location spoofing to test different location based apps and throttle internet speed to evaluate the app's behaviour in low speed internet connections.

Is really easy to configure, let you choose and customize lot of parameters and specs from the virtual android device (virtual machine). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Genymotion?

In the old days, it was more complicated to install google services on the virtual device. You had to download them from opengapps and flash them into the device.

Now is way easier, there is a gapp button included on the menu, and it will do it all for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
