Black Friday iPhone App for the Holiday Shopping Season

FatWallet’s Black Friday iPhone App allows iPhone and iPod touch users to review and sort 2011 Black Friday ads as individual deals. The app is the mobile version of FatWallet.com’s Black Friday Deal Finder which aggregates all major retailers’ Black Friday ad rumors and organizes them by store and category.

With September almost over, it’s time to turn our eyes to the next major event in the tech world. No, I’m not talking about the iPhone 5 release date, but a date that has almost the same level of buzz — Black Friday. Parsing a politician’s words has never been so tricky.

The release date for the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S is next month according to current Apple board member and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, who spoke at a conference this week and revealed that the “new iPhones” (plural) will debut in October, quipping that it was an intentional plug.

Users sort by store or by category and have options to filter results for a more refined search. These options include; sub categories, brand, and price range. Capabilities also let users search by phrase and sort deals for free shipping, rebates, online availability and/or doorbusters.

The app also comes pre-loaded with Black Friday content allowing users to compare all 13,676 deals from 90 stores. Users can expect many of these deals to be available online (2010 saw over 800 deals online with more than 500 of those deals offering free shipping).

The content will be replaced with 2011 data as soon as the first Black Friday ad is made public in FatWallet’s Black Friday 2011 forum, on Twitter via @BlackFridayFW and online in the FatWallet Black Friday Deal Finder.
