There’s a Premium upgrade (monthly or yearly subscription) that will remove sponsored ads on the emulator desktop and pop-ups and ads from sponsored apps.

You can install various apps and games from the “LD Store” and Google Play Store. The LDPlayer UI differs from an Android device it’s more like a web browser in that every app opens in a new tab (visible at the top of the screen).
