dealnews Announces Black Friday App for iPhone and Android

The online retail guide dealnews has just announced its special Black Friday app for iPhone and Android devices, targeting avid shoppers.

Just in time for Thanksgiving Day and the Black Friday, the application is available now from App Store and Android Market.

The application will help users browse leaked and verified Black Friday ads, as well as create shopping lists and custom product searches.

Users who install the application on their devices will surely minimize the time spent on shopping during the Winter holiday.

“Savvy shoppers understand that in-store shopping is no longer the best strategy, and as a result, they're looking for tools that help them save time, money and unwanted trips to the mall. For many, that convenience is via mobile phones,” said Dan de Grandpre, Editor-in-Chief of dealnews.com, Inc.

“With the dealnews Black Friday App, consumers are given all of the insight needed to make smart shopping decisions this holiday season with the touch of a screen,” added de Grandpre.

Some of the advanced features of the Black Friday 3.1 include:

Leaked and verified deals – Shoppers can browse "leaked" and confirmed Black Friday ads from more than 60 major retailers.

Shopping list creation – When shoppers click a featured deal, they are given the opportunity to “buy now” (if applicable) or “save” to a shopping list for future use.

Deal sharing – Each featured deal or discount can be shared with other savvy shoppers via Facebook, Twitter or email, allowing consumers to quickly pass the savings on to friends and family.

Direct link to retailer sites – Consumers can go directly to the retailer websites to buy products online (when available), or to find the nearest store.

mydealnews integration – Users can sync their mobile phones with previously created alerts on dealnews.com, allowing all deal alerts to be stored and searchable in one location.
