Officially, vShare only supports mobile platforms but there is a workaround that allows you to use it on your Windows or macOS computer.

You also require a Google account – you can set one up for free if you don’t have one or prefer to use a different one to your usual account.
- Download an Android emulator on your computer
- Open it and sign it
- While the emulator is setting up, open your browser and go to the vShare Android page.
- Download the APK file and extract the contents
Once the emulator has finished setting up, you need to add the vShare file and you can do it in these three ways:
- Right-click on the .apk file and click on Open With ( emulator )
- Drag the .apk file into your emulator
- Use the emulator’s search bar to find vShare and click n the right file to put it in the emulator.
Once in there, click the vShare file and follow the on-screen instructions to install it. You can use vShare via the emulator home page.
No matter your platform, vShare is simple to use:
- Open vShare and choose a category
- Find and tap on any app or game
- Tap Install and follow the directions on the screen to install it on your device
- When it has finished, it is on your home screen or in the emulator.
If you are using iOS or iPad OS, you must fix the untrusted developer error for any app or game downloaded on your device – launch Settings > General > Profiles and trust the relevant developer profile.
