INTRODUCTION
‘One-click way’ is one of the prominent statements of the 21 st century. Ever wondered if this ‘one-
click away’ can be a reality for your homes and all the device within? Well, the Geeni app is the
prototype of that thought. The article will cover the necessary steps to download the app on a
Windows PC.

IS GEENI AVAILABLE FOR PC?


The Geeni app like most others has been developed only for smartphones, thus its official app is
unavailable for PCs.The Genni app is on the top of the finance category apps on the google play
store. Being advertisements free and no hidden in-app purchases are central to this top title. This
popularity has led to the need for a PC version of the app. We cannot simply import the app’s
software from a phone as its interface won’t be able to work on the PC and will collapse. Emulators
are the answer in such situations.

An emulator is a particular set of hardware or software that enables the guest system's software
(Geeni app for smartphones) or devices to run on the host system ( the PC). These emulators allow
you to download the Geeni app PC version, which has a UI and functions that are largely the same as
those available on the phone.
