It makes a lot of sense that smartphones should help us shop. Announced December 17, 2009, MEDL Mobile and creator Shayne Faerber launched Mall Maps - You Are Here for the iPhone just in time for the holidays. The app provides its user with a comprehensive database of malls, shopping centers and plazas across the United States.
Featured by Apple as an essential app for black Friday, Mall Maps uses the GPS location function of your iPhone to inform users of malls near your current location. Or a user can browse by city/state, zip code and even a list of all fifty states. The app contains store listings and actual floor plans for malls all across the country.
The app is also a boon to the millions of shoppers who are traveling this holiday season to parts unknown or unfamiliar. With Mall Maps you see the mall's store listing along with location codes to easily find on the floor plan map, which is loaded within the app. You can even visit the mall's website from within Mall Maps to view any special deals and limited time sales.
