Pros

Cons
Con Slow
This emulates an x86 chip on your ARM device, instead of using Linux applications compiled for ARM in the first place. It can even run Windows, but it's slow.
Con Android 6.0 not supported
If you have a newer device, this won't work.
Con Can't reinstall after uninstall on Android 4.4 or older
Deleting the app data is possible though. That will free most of the memory.
Con Requires at least 900 megabytes of internal storage
It cannot be installed on the SD card. That's a lot of storage considering it only works on pre-Marshmallow (Android 6) phones.
