Pleco using BluestackX on Microsoft Surface windows 10

[ahtsai]

I have downloaded Bluestack X into my laptop in Windows 10. When I open Google Playstore, Pleco Chinese Dictionary is not there. How do you load Pleco into BluestackX. H C Wong

Download the APK from the "download Android APK" link at pleco.com, then copy that file into Bluestacks and run it.

I tried this APK link under System Requirements:

System Requirements​

The current version of Pleco for Android is designed to work on devices running Android 4.0 or later. We don’t support very small / low-resolution screens either, but there are relatively few devices in circulation with those that run Android 4. Earlier versions of Pleco supported Android 2.2 and later – you can still download those versions from Google Play or from this APK link.

But the link does not work. H C Wong

Hi Mikelove,
I see you are a staff member of Pleco. Could you ask Pleco IT department and make sure 'this APK link' highlighted in blue in the System Requirements work when I click on it.
Thanks H C Wong

FWIW, the link works for me, redirecting to a file named "plecodroid-140609-2419p.apk". It does however trigger a security warning about downloading over HTTP instead of HTTPS, which I had to explicitly accept in my browser.

Sorry, that's a very old version (and it's http: because our current SSL certificate does not work with Android devices running < 4.0) - I was referring to the 'download Android APK' button on our main site at pleco.com.

Pleco works well for me in BlueStack 5. The app is available on Google PlayStore there too.

All the features I tested work flawlessly, including my favorite: Search Clipboard on Startup.
