Key notes
Many users want to run iOS apps on their PC, and today, we will show you a couple of ways to download and run iOS apps on Windows.
This process requires third-party software, so keep reading to find out which software can help you with this task.
How can Idownload and run iOS apps on Windows?
1. iPadian Emulator
Perhaps the best iOS emulator for Windows 10 currently available is iPadian. This emulator allows you to run many iOS apps on your computer in aniPad-like interface.
Of course, as running iOS apps on Windows 10 is not supported by default, using iPadian has its downsides. The biggest flaw of this emulator is (ironically, the same as Windows 10) the limited number of apps and games. Namely, iPadian doesn’t support iOS’s app store, as it uses its own custom app store.
Compared to the original app store, iPadian’s store looks poor. In the games category, there are less than 10 games you can install and play on your computer. However, if theappyou want to run is featured in iPadian’s store, it’s a good choice.
You can install iPadian just like any other program. Download and install the emulator, and you can start using apps and games. Also, keep in mind that you need .NET Framework and the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, for security reasons.
iPadian comes with a few essentialappspre-installed, like Facebook or YouTube. For everything else, download what you want from the store. The interface combines Windows andiPad-like environments, so you’ll have a feeling that you’re indeed using aniPad.

2. Air iPhone Emulator
Another way to run iOS apps and games on Windows 10is Air Iphone Emulator. It’s a simple Adobe AIR application that mirrors iPhone’s GUI in Windows. For this to work, you will need the AIR framework.
Thisappis mainly targeting developers and is not supposed to be a real replacement for the iPhone, but more like a clone without the hardware. If you would like a one-on-one experience with a virtual iPhone, check out this emulator.
