5 Best Apps for Black Friday Deals

While you're checking out your purchases on Black Friday, you can score some more deals by using your phone. 

These are the top five Black Friday apps: 

Nextag Shopping, a free app, allows customers to scan a bar code of an item and compare prices to other stores. 

Black Friday Survival Guide, also free, blends social media and shopping by allowing easy sharing of shopping lists and ads to Facebook. 

Black Friday App by Dealnews is also free and sends "leaked" ads to your phone. 

TGI Black Friday sends push notifications when an ad is leaked as well as price comparisons and links to items that are available online before they are in stores. 

If you're working with a group to get items on a list, try downloading List Bliss. You can check off what you bought and see what is left.
