On Black Friday, speed is a priority. That’s why the free app FastMall might be particularly useful. The application lists nearby malls and provides a full list of store locations. There’s even help on where to park. Since planning is everything on Black Friday, having FastMall handy should be a top priority.
4RedLaser Barcode Scanner Helps Find the Right Price
RedLaser comes with a wide range of features, but it’s perhaps best known for its barcode scanner. With that feature, users can scan a barcode at a store to help determine whether they can get a better price online or at another nearby store. The app is able to achieve that functionality thanks to the iPhone’s onboard camera. Best of all, the barcode-scanning app is free in Apple’s App Store.

8Create a Wish List With Black Friday Shopping App
As the name might suggest, the free Black Friday Shopping app is designed especially for one day out of the year. With Black Friday Shopping, users can sift through the ads and flyers released by top retailers. The app also includes a wish list feature that lets folks input what they want before they shop and then highlight the best deals around town for that item.
9Black Friday 2013 Ads App Provides Focus for Shoppers
Black Friday 2013 Ads App is by no means a high-powered piece of software. But then again, it’s not meant to be. The app features all of the ads for local retailers and provides a single point of reference for busy holiday shoppers. Best of all, the free app is already populated with several ads and flyers at install time.
10Price Check by Amazon Provides a Simpler Option
Amazon earns a second mention due to its popular Price Check by Amazon app. The app allows users to snap a picture of a barcode at a store to see how much the e-retailer is selling the same product for. The offering won’t provide search results that are as expansive as with the Amazon Mobile app, but for those who know time is of the essence, which is just about everyone on Black Friday, Price Check by Amazon is a nice option.
11Apple Store Applications Feature Black Friday Deals
Apple recently updated its free Apple Store application for iOS to make it more user-friendly. Not only does the app make it easy to find products, but it’ll also feature all of Apple’s Black Friday deals in a single pane within the menu. Those planning on shopping for Apple products on Black Friday should definitely have the Apple Store app handy.
