Not useful for death pools

I thought this app would be perfect for alerting me to details of celebrity deaths related to the Deadpool. I'm in. It posts less death notices than just an average news source. Deleted the app.

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.

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!
