Apple's App store features thousands of apps that iPhone and iPod Touch users can download daily. One app in particular that will mostly likely only be viewed around Thanksgiving is titled: "Black Friday", an event shoppers go bonkers for. Well now they'll have the perfect guide to plan out there day as they bounce from store to store. 

The morning after Thanksgiving stores open hours earlier than usual and have multiple items on sale throughout the store. Stores such as Best Buy have lines wrapping around the building full of eager shoppers waiting to rush in the store and grab everything they can just because it's a big sale that only happens once a year. 

Last year, Tilly's, the clothing store, gave gift cards to the first 75 customers in line waiting for those double-doors to open. I was one of the 75 customers sitting in the cold around 5 a.m. just to get a $10 gift card, and a pair of shoes for half off. After the rush at Tilly's, I traveled to a few other stores not knowing what items were on sale. Having a planned out trip would have suited me a bit better. I probably wouldn't have been out all day spending most of my money on search cost as economist would say to find certain deals on certain products. 

This year, the Black Friday app is a perfect reference for people wanting to know what's on sale in certain stores and the pricing after discount and regular pricing to see exactly where the deal is. 

The best part is, it's free.
