VIP Black is an exclusive 'Millionaire's App'

If you could only have one app, it should be VIP Black. Touted as the “Millionaire’s App”, this exclusive app requires members to verify that they are High Net Worth Individuals with assets or income over £1 million.

Once that is established, members will have VIP treatment across a broad range of activities. Users can book private yachts, jets, islands and more through the application, get priority access to unique events and experiences, and have an on-demand concierge service among others.

VIP Black (available on iOS for USD$999.99) is the most elite version of the app. VIP Blue is a mid-range version offering some VIP treatment, while VIP City offers exclusive treatment in only one city (including London, New York, Shanghai, Paris among others). VIP Red is a free version.
