## RIP VIP Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Yesterday’s News"
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.
-- Steely Duck, 2024-12-02

### ***** "best app"
awesome
-- Jaws147, 2024-10-17

### ***** "ripvip"
the best
-- Justin Moller03, 2024-10-17

### ***** "An App for the Gnarled"
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!
-- The Golden Boat, 2024-08-19

### *---- "A death of a tree"
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
-- eepisski, 2023-09-28

### ***** "Please update for iOS 14!"
I love this app and it’s stopped working with iOS 14.. I hope I don’t see RIP VIP on the list!!
-- DeeJayAustin, 2020-10-28

### ***** "Had this app since it first came out. Works better than ever."
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.
-- warinababylon, 2020-02-10

### ****- "Great app, but where are my notifications?"
I have been using this app for about 3 years now, and it’s always worked well. Within the last 2 months, my notifications have stopped working though. I’ve checked every setting there is regarding notifications, and they’re all on. Not sure if it’s an app issue or an iPhone 6 issue ...
-- Dead Pool Commish, 2020-01-31

### ****- "This app is great but"
This app is great but I don’t know if this sounds wrong but it can’t help it I wish that there are more people who died I had just got the app and there is only a few a lot of people say that a person dies every day and one child has been born idk it’s just is I love the app so I recommended this for people who like this it is worth it!
-- shaddow6578499374, 2020-01-05

### **--- "Slow on the draw & notable misses"
Other sources often beat this app to the punch.  It also misses some more famous while heralding the more obscure.  Recent miss, notable actor Ron Leibman.  They could do better.  Also missed Rene’ Auberjonois
-- Fuzz40, 2019-12-11

### *---- "Doesn’t work."
Has missed two deaths in the 4 days that I have had it.   Tried to get my money back.   App doesn’t even work to contact anyone. 
Would give it less than one star if i could.  Have not even had one notification before a death is heard about some place else.   What a piece of crap app.  Horrible.
-- Rob Drain, 2019-03-01

### *---- "Not worth your money!"
Upon opening after purchasing it just kept saying “updating” but wouldn’t ever open. Then a day or so later it the app opened. Had two deaths since owning the app and neither one shows in the app. Piece of garbage. Save your dollar.
-- Zardoz1138, 2019-01-15

### ****- "death do us part"
this app is really great! i love knowing about dead people but there isn't lots of updates. so i could get an update one day and then wait WEEKS for a new one. it’s kinda boring. i haven't seen a new dead person since August.
-- 19undrtale cutie87, 2018-09-03

### *---- "Not working"
It just keeps trying to connect but won’t work.
-- Illestintheera, 2018-04-18

### ***** "?"
I saw this on a YouTube video and I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know what the heck I just don’t
-- Why can't you keep it on prime, 2018-02-27

### ***** "Love it!"
Great for my death pool!
-- DerekICT, 2017-03-24

### ***** "Death Clock Thumbs Up!"
Does just what it says. Keeps me in the loop when a famous person kicks the bucket. Keep up the goods work.
-- klipp61, 2017-01-02

### ***** "Nice app!"
Works properly, extremely interesting. When you hear the notification tone, you never know if it's going to be your favorite celeb who just passed, or someone you've never heard of. Very intriguing. Good to have, worth the 99 cents.
-- EliteSparkZz, 2016-09-29

### ****- "Simple, useful, and [unfortunately] necessary!"
Simple concept for something that we've never realized that we always needed! Of course "there's an app for that!"
-- Amandamandamandaaa, 2016-01-18

### ***** "Win at life!"
Ever show up to a party not knowing who just died?! No more embarrassing moments like that with the RIP VIP app! Me: "Oh yeah, he died last week." Her: "You are so on it!"
-- David Pifer, 2014-04-07
