RIP VIP: The Death Alert App.

This app is great fun, personalised ringtone is hella cool and it's a great convo starter, only problem I have is not all the deaths tell you how they died, other than that tho it's pretty good! Recommended and only a quid. Good!

I found out about this app from a video a few years and it does the job. It is a very interesting concept for an app and has been executed well. The other review talks about the deaths being irrelevant people, but then mentions KEYBOARD CAT? Who doesn’t know about the amazing Keyboard Cat! He was a legend. And there isn’t enough extremely major celebrity deaths every day for the app to be provided with enough in the feed, so they have to fill it with slightly less famous deaths. What do you expect?

I like the concept of the app, not because I have any dark tendencies but it’s important news to know which major public figures have passed on. But the app is either so US-centric or just darn obscure because I have hardly beware of anybody whose deaths get announced. Sure there are a few big names, Winne Mandela and Stephen Hawking, but we’ve also recently had, Chuck McCann, Steven Bochoo, Rusty Staub, Charles Lazarus, and Bento the keyboard cat, none of whom I am familiar with. So I hope this gives you an idea. For me it’s a waste of money as the truly big names I’d known about anyway.

The app works fine, but the news of celebrity passing is always 1-2 days later than the coverage you’d most certainly have already seen in all other media. In that light, I’m not sure of the app’s purpose. The single, eerie, cathedral bell toll makes me laugh though, so I keep it.

awesome

the best

I’ve had this app for years. It never fails to jubilantly sound when some obscure celebrity or famous person has kicked the bucket! Truly this app is for the gothic and morose!

Had this app for awhile. Hits and misses with obits. Some people I heard of but others in music and film never heard of. Today, they announced the death of Sir Michael Gambon from Harry Potter. Then few minutes ago, they had the passing of a sycamore tree in England. Story was from Reuters. Since when do we mourn a tree. I am surrounded by trees, but they are inanimate objects. If this passes for journalism, humanity is doomed

I love this app and it’s stopped working with iOS 14.. I hope I don’t see RIP VIP on the list!!

I’ve had this app since it was first released. The current one is the most useful and stable I’ve seen. Definitely turn on notifications for it.
