There are quite a few insurance apps out there these days. Some are worth your time. Many others … seriously aren't.
We weeded through the options and selected four downloads you likely won't regret. From an app that uses ninjas to teach clients about DI to one that will help you ace your licensing exam, these picks can help boost business and … dare we say it? … make insurance agents look cool in the process.

Defend Your Income
For: Apple and Android devices
Cost: Free
No offense, guys, but this industry's selling tools aren't exactly known for their wit and creativity. This app might change that. Produced by the Council for Disability Awareness, Defend Your Income is an educational game that puts users in a virtual dojo. There, they're forced to fend off blows from shadowy attackers like Cancer, Respiratory Disease and, my personal favorite, Pregnancy Complications, whose nickname is "Special Delivery." After each round, trivia questions and random facts help teach about the prevalence of disability. Other portions of the site let users gauge their disability likelihood (and potential lost income) and learn about steps they can take to protect themselves. It's a must-have for anyone selling disability insurance.
