Top 10 Most Expensive iPhone Apps

Written by: jeremy Filed Under: Electronics, Luxury on September 3rd, 2009

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.

XA1 (Mark’s) – $179.99

Top 10 Most Expensive iPhone Apps - XA1

This realtime spectrum analyzer uses the iPhone’s microphone or, in the case of iPod Touch users, a third party microphone to provide graphical feedback for mixers and other sound engineers. For those who want to give the app a test run, XA1 Lite is also available for a mere $9.99.

Interpath (Room4 Group Limited) – $179.99

Top 10 Most Expensive iPhone Apps - Interpath

Intended for medical pathologists, Interpath grabs images from a supported image server—sold separately, of course—and loads them on the iPhone for remote diagnosis. I can’t imagine a cheaper way of doing that. Unlike XA1, this expensive app’s demo version is free.

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.

ROSIE Home Automation (Savant Systems LLC) – $199.99

Finally, something really freakin’ cool—ROSIE Home Automation turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a remote control for ROSIE-enabled lighting, security, audio/video and other systems.

iDcrm (Numenes) – $199.99

This app is intended to sync with Microsoft Dynamics CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and provide all of the same functionality. It also has the ability to work offline.

Lexi-Dental Complete (Lexi-Comp) – $299.99

Much like Nursing Constellation Plus, Lexi-Dental Complete is a library of reference material—except for dentists. As such, their promotional image is GROSS. A slightly less expensive version, Lexi-Dental Select, is also available.

Mobile Cam Viewer (mobiDEOS, Inc.) – $349.99

Top 10 Most Expensive iPhone Apps - Mobile Cam Viewer

Mobile Cam Viewer allows monitoring and control of NVR, DVR or Video Server surveillance systems. Of course, seeing as this is an app for the security conscious, access to the systems is encrypted.

PDR Quote (Labra PTY LTD.) – $349.99

Used to generate quotes for PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) and other automobile repairs, PDR Quote contains a database of over 900 automobile makes and models and allows prices to be customized and adjusted for tax codes.

MATG (MyAccountsToGo) – $449.99

Two varieties of this app are available—SAP BusinessOne and Dynamics GP. Both allow access to their respective financial management systems and may be synced via secure FTP, HTTP or HTTPS.

iRa Pro – $899.99

Intended for security professionals who need to maintain unlimited mobility, Ira Pro allows users to monitor IP-based surveillance equipment. Much like Mobile Cam Viewer, above, the most expensive iPhone app interfaces with a video management server to provide that extra sense of security that comes from knowing that you can always check in on whatever it is you’re protecting.

    Unfortunately, I Am Rich was pulled because too many people bought it thinking it was a joke (or something). As it’s no longer available, it isn’t on the list. It is mentioned in Most Expensive iPhone App.

    I am rich was just a way for people that had the money to say they did. It was a way to lower their self-esstem.
