TutuApp was originally released to provide iOS users with an alternative to Cydia and the official iOS app store. Its popularity was so high that demand increased for an Android version, and the developers obliged, giving everyone a huge choice of unofficial apps, game emulators and more, for free. And now, because it works on Android, you can even use it on your desktop computer. Here’s everything you need to know.
How to Install TutuApp on Mac or Windows:
There is only one way to install TutuApp on Windows or Mac and that’s to use an Android emulator. The app store doesn’t officially support any other systems but Android emulators like Nox Player and BlueStacks offers us a neat way of installing Android content:
- First, download BlueStacks or Nox Player emulator – we recommend these as the best ones but you can use any that you want
- Once the emulator is installed, open it and sign in – this requires a Google account
- While the emulator app is setting itself up, open the TutuApp download page on your browser and download the TutuApp APK file
Now you have three ways to get TutuApp into the emulator:
- Type TutuApp into the search bar in the emulator
- Open the APK file and right-click the .apk file – choose Open With from the menu
- Or just drag the .apk file into the emulator
Whichever way you choose, simply click the file once it is in the emulator and leave it to install. You can access TutuApp through your emulator app once installed.
How to Use TutuApp On your PC or Mac:
This is easy:
- Launch the emulator
- Click the TutuApp icon
- When the store opens, find something you want to download
- Click on it and click Install
- When the app has installed, it is available on the emulator home page
Why Use TutuApp on your Desktop?
Quite simply, because the resources your computer offers are better than mobile devices, especially for gamers. You get to enjoy a bigger screen, more storage space, more available RAM, better graphics and faster processors. On top of that, you also get access to an alternative app store where everything is free.
Common TutuApp Errors and Solutions:
TutuApp is pretty reliable and stable but some desktop users have reported a couple of issues:
White or Blank Screen:
An easy error to resolve, it looks worse than it is. Just remove TutuApp from your system and reinstall it
Greyed Icon/App Won’t Download:
There are two ways to solve this one – first, try deleting and reinstalling TutuApp. If that doesn’t work, you need to do some housekeeping on your computer. Most of the time, when an app doesn’t work, it’s because the requirements haven’t been met, specifically for memory and space. So, remove anything from your computer that you no longer need, uninstall unused apps and put your photos, music and other media into the cloud or on external storage. Also make sure that you have a minimum of 2 GB of free RAM.
Frequently Asked Questions:
These are the answers to the commonly asked questions about TutuApp.
Is TutuApp Safe?
Yes. Tests prove it has no malware, viruses, exploits, or anything else nasty lurking in it and neither does the emulator – provided you stick to BlueStacks or Nox Player, as these have been tested too. You will need a free Google account to use the emulator and you should install reputable antivirus software. A recommended VPN can also help protect your computer and your identity.
Does It Contain any Viruses or Malware?
No and neither do any of the apps or games. The developers monitor the app every day and, if an issue does arise, it is immediately fixed with an update – your safety depends on you installing these updates.
What is the Difference Between TutuApp Free and TutuApp VIP?
TutuApp Free provides most users with everything they want, including plenty of free content. However, should you want more, such as an ad-free experience, faster downloads, more content, etc., then you can opt to subscribe to the VIP version. And you can set up a VIP account – this means you can link your desktop to your account and use the VIP subscription on your Mac or Windows computer too. If your VIP subscription is due for renewal within 60 days, renew early for a 10% discount.
Isn’t TutuApp Only for iOS?
Originally yes it was but demand prompted the developers to produce an Android version. And, because of that, a simple Android emulator can be instead on your desktop, enabling you to take full advantage of everything TutuApp offers on your computer too.
TutuApp has always been popular, even more so now it can be used on desktops too. Try it on yours today and see what this truly comprehensive and diverse app store can offer you.
