10 of the best app deals we’re featuring ahead of Cyber Monday
Let’s pit the pair of post-Thanksgiving sale days against each other: Black Friday versus Cyber Monday.
Black Friday has been around for longer and is therefore more widely known. While it is associated with massive discounts and barrel scraping prices, it also conjures images of lines, fights, stampedes, and sleeping in a cot outside Best Buy.
Cyber Monday, on the other hand, is younger and a shade more obscure. Even so, it’s still synonymous with big savings. Better yet, big savings that can be purchased without even leaving the couch. (Though to be fair, you can get lots of Black Friday deals without leaving the couch too.)
In the spirit of Cyber Monday’s dedication to online consumption, here are the best deals on top-selling apps and software in the Mashable Shop a full two weeks early.
1. uTalk Language Education: Lifetime Subscription to 140+ Languages

2. iMazing iOS Device Manager: Universal License for Mac and Windows
Isn’t it great when you get a new phone and all of your photos and music and contacts fail to transfer over or, worse, get eaten when you attempt to do so? Nah, not really. The iMazing iOS Device Manager eliminates this uniquely modern hell by letting you easily transfer data between your old iPhone, new iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even PC, without having to jailbreak any of your devices.
Sale price: $14.99 (MSRP $89.99) Buy it here.
3. Sticky Password Premium: Lifetime Subscription
Speaking of a uniquely modern hell, there’s also nothing worse than attempting to keep track of the 9,000 or so passwords we’re required to have these days. Luckily, Sticky Password takes care of this problem by generating encrypted passwords for all your stuff and ensuring only you can access them via a single master password. It also has biometric authentication, meaning said master password won’t be discovered. That would be bad.
