Black Friday App for iPhone and Android Available from dealnews

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With just one week to go until Thanksgiving and the official start of the holiday season, dealnews is making shopping a cinch with the updated version of its Black Friday App, available now for the Apple iPhone and Android devices. With the app, shoppers can not only browse leaked and verified Black Friday ads, but can also create shopping lists, custom product searches, and utilize other features to help minimize the time and frustrations associated with holiday shopping.

“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”
