Allstate introduces new app features

Allstate has released the latest version of its mobile app, introducing new features that go beyond insurance.

The new features include:

• A gas finder, powered by GasBuddy, helps customers save money by finding the lowest priced fuel in their area.
• A parking reservation platform, powered by SpotHero, helps customers find and save money on parking.
• A weather risk resource, powered by Risk Factor, helps customers understand climate risks for their home, such as flooding, wildfire and severe wind.
• A trusted repair shop finder, powered by Good Hands Repair Network, helps customers in need of auto body work.

The new version also includes several enhancements such as the option to add ID cards to Google Wallet (in addition to Apple Wallet), and an upgraded message center and help center.

“We’re listening to our customers, and these updates give them more personalized value and control to protect what matters most. The Allstate mobile app offers a hotbed of innovation that’s transforming how people interact with an insurer. Allstate differentiates itself from the competition by packing an impressive set of features and benefits into one app. In addition to these new tools, Allstate mobile offers customers access to Drivewise and crash detection services, Allstate Roadside Services, and Allstate Identity Protection. Customers can file a claim with QuickFoto Claim, check their policy and discounts, get their latest ID cards, and so much more. And there are additional customer-focused updates to come.” – Mike Antognoli, mobile product director at Allstate.
