Default What free Android emulator do YOU use on Windows for running F-Droid APKs?

Apples and oranges. There's no way any Android phone GUI can handle
the breadth of surgical photo manipulation tasks that Photoshop is
designed to handle.


I think that's the whole point.

Take my Hourglass APK as an example:
Hourglass-com.alaskalinuxuser.hourglass-6-v1.6.apk

For example, the Android "hourglass" app is fantastically simple.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alaskalinuxuser.hourglass

Does something that powerfully simple app does exist for Windows?

The power is in the UI.
1. You bring up the app
2. You slide the slider for the time
3. And that's it.

Does something that simple exist on Windows for an hourglass timer?

Same with the no-longer-free "Paper Artist" tool that I use on Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dama.paperartistgp

It's so ridiculously simple that I would love to see an equivalently simple
and yet powerful Windows clone.

1. You bring up the photo in the app
2. You press a button which manipulates it
3. And the power is you "swish" your finger over it to modify beautifully

Does something that powerfully simple even exist on Windows?
