BestAdvice.net has become the first media website for mortgage intermediaries to launch a mobile application.

The free app is available for both the Apple iPhone iOS and Google Android platforms.

It covers news, features and blogs as well as displaying latest mortgage product information.

An ‘event’ section carries details of upcoming diary dates, complete with maps for venue location, and the ability to ‘check in’.

Twitter and Facebook users can link their account with the app for full social networking functionality.

The Sound Advice podcast, the first for the mortgage industry back in 2005, is to return soon and will also be available via the podcast section on the BestAdvice app.

Kevin Rose, editor of BestAdvice.net, said: “Delivering both existing and extra content via a smartphone application will appeal to the growing band of BestAdvice subscribers who want information at their fingertips.
