I bought a Chrome Book Model Acer 315 (2023) and certain apps like Rewarded Play or Mistplay won't download??? They say they are incompatible with my operating system???

 

I see that if this happens for Windows you can download bluestacks and run apps no problem.  Is there anything I can download for this chrome book??? Please help. Thank You

Because Chromebooks are so locked down I don't believe there is any workaround to play those apps on a Chromebook.

I was afraid you'd say that. Is it time to return this Chromebook and pick up a Windows laptop??? 🤔 I'm hearing I can download BlueStacks and run these apps no problem???

I don't have any experience with Bluestacks. It can run android apps but I can't say how well it run those two. You currently do not have a Windows computer?

 

You might want to pick up a cheap android phone to run those apps. Depending on how much you paid for the chromebook you could keep it as it's a secure platform for doing banking and email when you keep the number of apps to a minimum.

Good idea with the phones. I have an old windows desktop I can try the BlueStacks on. I'll see what happens and post it here.
