Openwork has launched a new version of its protection app enabling advisers to obtain protection quotes from Android phones and tablets.

This follows its previous launch of the app for Apple devices.

The new app offers the same functionality as the Apple version allowing advisers to obtain instant quotes from Openwork’s panel of life and critical illness protection providers: AEGON, Friends Life, Legal & General and Zurich.

The app is now available for download from the app store on Google Play.

Openwork’s original Apple App has been downloaded by over 500 advisers and processed over 6000 quotes since its launch earlier this year.

Ashley Janes, mortgage and protection proposition manager, said: “We received great feedback following the launch of the Apple App and extending its availability onto Android will allow many more Openwork advisers to benefit from instant access to protection quotes.

“Making business both easy and fast to write is a priority for us and the new App is another example of the ways in which we are ensuring that is the case across the network.”
