These days there are free apps for everything from tracking a run to finding low gas prices. But what about Black Friday? Yes, there are apps for that special shopping day, too -- and the good ones can help you save a lot of time and money. Here are our top Black Friday apps for iPhone and Android:

TGI Black Friday.

Available for iPhone and Android, TGI Black Friday helps consumers find the best deals on Black Friday by constantly updating and displaying all the major retailers' ads. This free Black Friday app lets users download PDFs of the ad scans, search ads by store or category, create a shopping list, compare prices, shop Black Friday sales online, and receive notifications when new ads are leaked.

Black Friday App.

This app from Dealnews, one of the top-rated Black Friday sites, lets you browse Black Friday ads as they're leaked. You can create a shopping list, purchase online directly from your phone or find a store nearby, and share Black Friday discounts through social networks including Facebook and Twitter. Perhaps the best part about this free app is that it also helps you find discounts that are just as good as, if not better than, Black Friday sales. The Black Friday App is available for both iPhones and Android phones.

BFAds.net Black Friday.

The highly rated BFAds.net Black Friday iPhone app gives you access to Black Friday sales and news and lets you create shopping lists. It also has advanced filtering so you can find exactly what you're looking for and compare prices between stores. In addition, the app notifies you when new Black Friday ads are released and online holiday sales go live.

Black FlyDay.

One of several good Android apps to use this holiday season, the Black FlyDay app takes a different approach to holiday shopping (and can help you save all year round). This Black Friday app lets you share deals with and find deals through your Facebook friends (and soon Twitter, too). If you find a deal you want to share, hit "Buzz a Deal" and it will automatically post to your Facebook page. Looking for discounts? "Catch a deal" by setting a geographic radius and selecting items you're seeking. You can also set up the app to work with a team (such as your Black Friday shopping team). Simply select Facebook friends and their deals will appear all in one place. If you're not working with a team, this Black Friday app can also show you deals from other people using the app and posting deals in your area.
