Downloading and running the APP through the Bluestacks Emulator has a number of benefits, firstly you can now run the APP on other than android devices, and secondly, you don’t need to root your device to run the APP, thirdly it offers an extra layer of security to your network.

One of the nice features of the APP is that booted users still see themselves as connected to the network. Many parents choose to use the WifiKill app to control their home networks, some may have children of different ages and may want to allow them separate access to the network.
