Planning on doing some bargain hunting tomorrow? Here are two mobile apps that can help. Each is available for both Google Android and iOS.
Dealnews Black Friday App
This app comes from the folks at Dealnews, a bargain-hunting site which also happens to power many of the daily deals on computers and electronics that I post at Liliputing.
When you first fire up the app you’ll see a list of stores. Click on any store to see items which are part of that store’s Black Friday sales.
You can also sift through ads by category or search the site. Once you enter a search term, you can also filter by category or store.
Many of these deals are available online, so when you click on the details page you can click “Buy Now” button for some items, or save an item to your account. At the bottom of the page you’ll also find buttons that let you share deals via Facebook, Twitter, or Email.
The Black Friday app from Dealnews is available as a free download from the Android Market and the iTunes App Store.
The Dealmap
While the Dealnews app gives you a rather macro view of bargains from all sorts of sources, The Dealmap app lets you know what’s on sale right around you.
When you launch the app, you’ll see a pop-up asking if you want to see Black Friday deals. The app will then show you a map with icons hovering near locations in your area that are running Black Friday promotions. Click on any icon for more information, and then click on Deal Details to share or save the deal, click-through to order the product, or view the address of the store where you can pick up the item.
Dealmap is available for free from the App Store and Android Market.
You can find some more screenshots after the break.
Looks like tomorrow will be the perfect time to buy!
