iPhone apps generate a lot of buzz in this Apple world of ours, whether they’re useful, entertaining, offensive or just plain expensive. Below is a list of the ten most expensive iPhone apps. Are they useful? In some cases, that’s debatable. After all, the most expensive iPhone app in the App Store’s brief history was little more than a screen saver—that is, before Apple pulled it following user complaints.
Nursing Constellation Plus (Skyscape) – $179.99
Another medical app, Nursing Constellation Plus is intended for use by, er, nurses. Big surprise, that. The app has a variety of reference tools, including a drug dosing calculation tool, medical dictionary and a book of diagnostic tests.
- The “Most Expensive Android Widget” app will cost you a crisp 400 bucks, but like Abu Moo, will do literally nothing for you. In fact, it says that in its description: “This app is the most expensive one on Google Play. It does nothing, except showing an amazing diamond on your device’s display. Show everybody that you’re the richest.”.
- The most expensive iPhone app will set you back $1,399. There’s no need to revisit the entire history of the App Store, but it certainly goes without saying that Apple’s digital storefront.
Most Expensive App On App Store
ROSIE Home Automation (Savant Systems LLC) – $199.99
According to the Donita’s Cantina website, the most expensive appetizer is a $13.50 plate of nachos with meat on top. Assuming that’s the average deal on CB Deals, you’d need to use the app for 75 plates of free nachos before you’re in the black. The Most Expensive App Ever ($393.61) The Most Expensive App ($400) And for fun, there’s even a most expensive Hello world app. This does as it says, which is simply “Hello, World.” It will cost you $20.48. These developers are obviously capitalizing on the popularity of people searching for the term “most expensive app” in the Google. Most expensive indeed. A fidget spinner app for 26000 INR.This app has a virtual fidget spinner made up of virtual “100% Real diamonds”. And 50 people have downloaded this app. Hats off to them.

BarMax: California Edition – $999.99

Intended as an alternative to expensive bar preparation courses such as those offered by BarBri, the app offers for $1,000 what traditionally costs three or four times as much. BarMax boasts 1,371 previously used multistate bar exam questions and 100 previously used essay questions. BarMax also has a multistate version, New York version and five other state-specific version in the works and hopes to roll them out before the end of 2010.
Anything that’s free is always welcome, especially if it is a really cool app that we can use on our smartphone. The Google Play store is full of great free apps. Popular apps like Angry Birds, Temple Run, Death Race, Pool Master Pro, MX Player, Skype and many more are available to users for free.
But it’s not necessary that the best apps are available for free. Some utility apps and game are paid and offer a bang for users buck. Apps such as Cut the Rope, GTA III, Camera Zoom FX, Beautiful Widgets, and many more are available for a price.
The price charged for these apps is usually reasonable and something that users can afford to pay. There are however a bunch of apps that are outrageously priced and targeted at those that have so much money; they don’t know what to spend it on. Some apps may just act as a social status symbol, some have utility for the select few and the others are downright silly. So here are 5 outrageously priced apps on the Google Play store
The Most Expensive Play App
Don't expect this app to do anything! You only get the 'Gold-Dices status sign' four visual widgets for your android device.
