Overstock’s has released a new mobile app for Android smartphones, which allows users to store and exchange cryptos on their mobile phones. The launch of android app comes shortly after the firm revealed a similar application for iOS devices with additional features such as a customizable user interface, widgets and tutorials.
Available on the Google Play store as we speak, the new brokerage app enables tZERO Crypto unit’s customers to leverage the software to trade one of the two supported cryptocurrencies. This limited selection of Bitcoin and Ethereum will be expanded in the future, the company said.
Besides buying, selling, sending, receiving, and storing cryptocoins, tZERO Crypto App comes with a couple of advanced features.

“We are excited to bring our platform to Android users, which we believe will significantly expand our user-base. The accessibility of the tZERO Crypto App is critical in our plan to provide an intuitive trading experience for all digital assets,” tZERO CEO Saum Noursalehi said.
