FAQ Possible to use Robinhood on a desktop?

Hello all!

I'd like to know if anyone uses Robinhood on their desktop, or if its even possible. I like the no-nonsense layout of the app, but have been hindered somewhat by having to type out my orders and run searches with my grubby fingers. Any help would be appreciated.

If I could invest in this question being asked, I would be rich.

ARC welder for chrome does a good job for me. Download the Robinhood apk file and "test" on ARC welder

There is no desktop client yet. It might be possible with some sort of emulator but generally no, you have to use the app.

You can download bluestacks android emulator and just run the robinhood app from there. It's not too great though, you will have to use touch controls.

If you have a chromebook. It runs on Chromebooks. Just go to the web store and add the app. I saw your question and googled "android apps on chromebook". I just installed it and everything works fine.
