Hi Scott,

YoWindow for iOS has to be released first before the Windows version and Mac version of the multi platform YoWindow will start to be tested.

What I would like to know is what version of Windows do you have?

My Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 are 10 years old.
So with old hardware, I bought 2 new computers this year.

I am currently testing the Android Betas on my Windows 11 and my new Chromebook.
Both Windows 11 and new Chromebooks have subsystems for running Android apps.
They also have Linux subsystems.

I have also read that the new MacBook Airs with silicon chips are able to run iOS apps.
Now, I need to track down a silicon chip MacBook Air so I can be testing YoWindow on a Mac.

So for now, I am Beta testing YoWindow on Android phones, iPad, Windows 11, and Chromebook.

Have you had a chance to test how YoWindow performs on the Chromebook compared to your Windows machines? I’m curious about any differences in user experience.

YoWindow Android app works the same on both Chromebook and Windows 11.

The only difference is how you install the android .apk onto the devices.
I have been using Linux terminal to install .apk onto Chromebook.
Windows 11 has an app for installing the Android .apk onto it.

I have also gotten a MacBook Air M2 and am testing the iOS YoWindow on it using TestFlight.

YoWindow is working great on all of my devices.
Again, YoWindow app is working the same on both Chromebook and Windows 11.

P.S. On Chromebook, when you first install YoWindow and click on the icon you will have a narrow phone like YoWindow. At the top, you will see tablet or landscape. Click on it and you will have a full screen YoWindow.

I click on the tablet or landscape mode while YoWindow is loading and then YoWindow loads in a desktop full screen.

My Windows 11 is a tablet. YoWindow loads in whatever orientation that I have. I like landscape. So I load in landscape. When I turn my tablet to portrait, the loaded YoWindow goes to portrait. When I turn tablet back to landscape, YoWindow is now in landscape.

I hope this information helps you.

Sorry to say, but this is not a reasonable option ...
