Whatever your reason is, if you're looking for the quickest way to find out whether someone is alive or dead, this app is your friend!

Our data base contains over 3,300 entries of notable people of our time, including actors and actresses, musical performers, sports figures, politicians, and many more. Entries include the person's full name, date and place of birth, date and cause of death, and a brief summary of what they are known for. Over 400 entries have photos. New entries and photos are added weekly.Celebrity deaths are usually published the same day they are announced.

Features include:

- Recent Deaths

- Today's Birthdays

- A "hotlist" of the top ten people being searched

- A-Z lists for quick lookups

- Search by name, description, date of birth, date of death

This app is an updated version of our "Who's Alive and Who's Dead" app, but with new features and content such as photos and with better support for newer phones and tablets.

Our data base is oriented to the U.S. audience. While it does contain listings of famous folks from Canada, the U.K., and the rest of the world, the goal is to focus on people who are well-known in America. We deliberately avoid padding the data base with long-dead folks such as John Wayne, Elvis Presley, etc., so that we can bring you the best resource for keeping up people from today and the recent past.
