Black Friday isn’t just a day for getting in line outside your nearest big box retailer in the hope that you’ll be able to snag that big screen TV or the last remaining Furby. These days the fun happens just as much online as it does on the high street, and that goes for digital stores as well. Sales are currently kicking off all over the internet, and Apple’s iOS App Store is no different.
Thanks to developers being eager to take advantage of the hysteria that often surrounds Black Friday and the associated Cyber Monday events, us gamers and fans of all other apps can get some great titles for not a lot of money, with some apps and games even deciding to go free for a short period in order to get themselves further up the app charts. It’s sneaky, but we’re not going to complain!
We’re currently on the lookout for good deals across both the iPhone and iPad’s App Stores, so if you think there are some cheap, or even free apps that we should add to the list then please do let us know. This will be something of a live post, with new titles getting added as and when we notice them. There are already some great apps on sale, and we have a sneaky feeling that this is only the start.
