Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Goes Mobile

Everywhere you look you see an app to solve something for us. Constantly I hear: “There’s an app for that.”

It’s true, with smartphone sales going through the roof, it is no wonder business owners are scrambling to get an app built for their business. The holidays are upon us, and just like past seasons there will be record numbers of mobile phone sales (particularly smartphones).

Speaking of there being an app for almost everything these days, it is no surprise that the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has launched an app as reported by Mashable below:

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is getting a technology update for its 85th year by way of an official mobile app. The Parade app will be available on both iOS and Android ahead of next Thursday’s event, and feature a route map, NYC tips, a WiFi hotspot finder and a way to track specific participants in the parade.

You can see some of the app’s features in the video above. Macy’s says that all of the features will also be available on the Parade website. Will you be tuning into the parade this year? Let us know in the comments.
