RIP VIP: The Death Alert App.

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.

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 ...

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!

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
