A Location-Based Luxury Lifestyle App: iVIP Black for $999.99

iVIP Black is a premium app geared toward millionaires and billionaires who want to discover and enjoy the most luxurious events and services around them.

Through partnerships with participating venues, members receive special VIP treatment at their event or venue of choice, including complimentary upgrades, gifts, priority access, welcome packages, and more. Concierge teams are also available so that anything and everything can be outsourced, from getting the dry cleaning done to booking a private jet.

The app claims to update its partners and partner privileges regularly, however, it hasn't seen an update since August of 2019.

A Specialized Payment App for Cashiers: app.Cash for $999.99

app.Cash claims to be a "stylish cashier system for all purposes." The app is designed to replace the traditional cash register to create sales transactions and receive payments. It even works offline.

Although the app can be used by practically any business that needs to collect customer data and take payments, it appears to be specifically tailored for restaurants so that servers can conveniently use a mobile device directly at customers' tables. Menu buttons are available and categorized by food and beverage types so that servers can input customers' orders directly into the app. A graphic representation of the tables can also be created and viewed to keep track of table numbers and orders.

The app supports two printer models and must be updated by contacting the developer directly. It's one of the most expensive apps in the App Store at nearly $1,000; however, it claims to be cheaper than a traditional cash register system, making it perhaps an attractive option for some businesses. Perhaps.
