1,000 malls, more than 100,000 stores; Mall Maps puts it all on your iPhone

Los Angeles, CA, November 17, 2009 — MEDL Mobile, Inc. (http://www.medlmobile.com), the leader in mobile application development, in partnership with creator Shayne Faerber of Naples, FL, has launched Mall Maps for the iPhone. Hitting the App Store this week, the app provides its user with a comprehensive database of malls, shopping centers and plazas across the US. In its first week, it has already climbed to the top 50 in its category.

Mall Maps is a must-have tool to guide shoppers during the chaotic holiday shopping season. Mall Maps uses the GPS location function of your iPhone to inform you of malls near your current location. Or you can browse by city/state, zip code and even a list of all 50 states. To simplify shopping, the app contains store listings and actual floor plans for malls all across the country.

“As millions of holiday shoppers fill the malls, knowing exactly where to park, what entrance to use and which direction to take can mean the difference between finding that prized item on sale or losing out behind a long line of shoppers,” said Shayne Faerber, the app’s creator. “I think this app will be a lifesaver for thousands of people this holiday season.”

The app is also a boon to the millions of shoppers who will be traveling this holiday season to parts unknown or unfamiliar.

“This app will be incredibly useful for people away from home who need to run out to the mall but don’t know where it is, what stores are there, or where to park when they get there,” said Dave Swartz, MEDL Mobile Co-Founder. “Mall Maps gives you all that at the touch of a button.”

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.

Mall Maps was launched on 11/11/09 and can be purchased for $2.99 at the iPhone App Store.
