Is that famous person still alive? Dead or Not? tells you instantly — and unlike a quick search, it doesn't stop there. Every reported death is cross-checked against tier-one news sources (Reuters, AP, BBC, and others) before the app calls it confirmed. Wikipedia and Wikidata can be vandalized — and are, regularly, for public figures. Dead or Not? catches the difference between "someone edited a page" and "a real news organization reported this." FEATURES • Instant life status for any public figure, powered by Wikidata • Tier-one news verification on every death — never just a wiki edit • Full biographical details: birth date, age, cause of death when known • Build a watchlist of the people you want to keep track of • Three complete visual styles — pick the one that fits you: a clean modern look, a retro pixel-art arcade style, or a detective case-file aesthetic GO PRO A one-time purchase (not a subscription) unlocks: • Death alerts — get notified within hours when someone on your watchlist passes, verified against real news • An unlimited watchlist (free accounts track up to 3) • No ads, ever Dead or Not? respects the subject. No gimmicks — just a fast, accurate answer, verified against real journalism instead of an editable wiki page.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dead or Not? at none against Zen IPTV Player's 5. Dead or Not? also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Zen IPTV Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
