Black Friday has become a global institution over the past few years. This shopping holiday started in the United States but has now massively globalized. Loads of stores now take part in it, starting the day after Thanksgiving and even carrying on through the week after. We know that preparing for Black Friday can get chaotic, what with all the stores and deals available. A real mess. That’s why we’ve picked out several Android apps to make your life simpler on Black Friday.
Stores with their own apps
It’s hard to find stores that don’t have their own apps these days. It’s just a very good way to help shoppers spend their money. Not all of them have jumped on the Black Friday bandwagon, though, so we’ve selected a smattering that have already confirmed their sales for the day. We’ve also tried to cover a good array so there’s no lack of variety.
