The Android app store is, without a doubt, one of the biggest in the world, offering a comprehensive and diverse range of apps and games. Sadly, it still doesn’t offer what the vast majority of users want – unofficial, modified content. ACMarket, on the other hand,  does. One of the best alternatives to the Android app store, ACMarket provides easy and free access to thousands of tweaked and modified apps but it doesn’t stop there. Not only is ACMarket great for Android users, but you can also use it on your Mac or Windows PC.

Download ACMarket on Mac or PC:

It is only because ACMarket is an Android app that you can use it on your desktop computer. All you need is an Android emulator – we would recommend using Nox Player or BlueStacks as they work on both operating systems, are free, powerful and reliable.

1. Using the official websites, download Nox or BlueStacks onto your computer
2. Now go to https://ac-market.org and download the APK file
3. You will need a Google account to use the emulator so get one now if you don’t have one – they are free to set up
4. Open your emulator, sign in and leave it to set up – this could take a while
5. Now type ACMarket into the emulator search bar and wait – click on the result and let it be installed on your computer
6. You will see ACMarket on the emulator home screen

How to Use ACMarket:

ACMarket is one of the most user-friendly app installers around today:

1. Launch the Android emulator and click the ACMarket icon
2. When it opens, find an app or a game that you want to download – there is a search bar available
3. Click it and follow any directions that appear on the screen
4. When you see the app icon on the emulator home screen, you can use your app.

Fixing Common ACMarket Errors:

Desktop users may be unlucky enough to face one of a couple of errors but they are simple to fix:

ACMarket Not Installed:

This might happen for a number of reasons and one of these fixes should resolve it:

Method 1: Clear Package Installer Data and Cache

1. Go into your computer settings and click on the Apps section
2. Click on System > Package Installer

One of the main reasons for an app failing to install is not enough space on your device. Go through your computer, delete unused files/folders, uninstall unused apps. Move media files to external storage and empty your recycle bin. You also need at least 2 GB RAM free.

Method 1: Reset App Preferences

2. Click on Reset App Preferences>Reset Now
