Black Friday
by FatWallet, Inc.
Fatwallet has given their Black Friday app a major facelift this year. Some highlights of their updates are: product images, more sorting options (e.g. "just added"), and additional rewards like cash back and rebates. The only downside of this app is it focuses on major chain stores like Macy's and Kmart. For a greater variety of stores and localized deals, you'll have to go somewhere else to find them.
