By 'certain programs', you're probably referring to BlueStacks which emulates Android on a PC. I've tried it out, works decently well if you have an Intel chip. I have an alt that was experimenting with last SG, its not actually being played at all now but everything works fine on the emulator, its actually better than my tablet lol. Be careful if you use it on AMD chips, atleast on Phenom X2-555 there is very frequent BSoD :-(

I have a blog post on my attempts to do well in SG with an alt; that should give you an outline of low level strategy as I understood it from lots of browsing here. If you haven't yet got a 5* invite daemon, it can be a good way to grab one from the next SG - just remember not to redeem any 5* mags or use SS :-)
