RIP VIP: The Death Alert App.

RIP VIP is a legacy headline-and-alert app about reported deaths of notable people.

Our take

Consider it only after confirming the news feed still operates

Priority and quiet alert modes are intended to separate urgent headlines from less intrusive updates.

Keep in mind: The supplied release history references iOS 8; feed availability, reporting reliability and modern push delivery are not established.

  • Receive described priority or silent headlines
  • Set a quiet period
  • Share a selected news alert

Good for

  • Readers checking a known legacy notification service.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting verified current reporting or guaranteed alerts.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 6.0.
  • The supplied release history references iOS 8; feed availability, reporting reliability and modern push delivery are not established.

Privacy & permissions

Notification previews and shared headlines may be sensitive; confirm sources before passing on a death report.
