Shopping malls are a staple of the frenzied holiday shopping season. Unfortunately, a lot of malls in the US are winding mazes of retail stores and kiosks that don’t seem to have any logical layout to them. We swear shopping mall designers do that on purpose. But, with an iPhone in hand, your next trip to the mall a bit more convenient. Mall Maps for iPhone puts shopping mall floor plans and store directories within easy reach.
The app uses GPS to determine your location and bring up a list of nearby malls. Or, if you know where you’d like to waste hours searching for that “perfect gift,” you can search for malls by name. The app will offer an alphabetical list of stores in a particular mall, or give you the option to search for a specific store.
Mall Maps isn’t free, but at $2.99, it’s not going to break the bank. For us, the price is worth not having to hunt down a mall directory kiosk amidst the hustle and bustle of this peak shopping season.
