No. 11: 100 Dollar App
Price tag: $110.05
Not only does the 100 Dollar App cost more than its advertised price, there is also much doubt regarding its functionality. Classed as a Finance app, the Dollar App is more of a statement of your wealth, than a useful tool for your mobile phone.

Price tag: $200
Australian drivers sick of traffic jams might be willing to spend $200 to buy this app, which features live and updated traffic news. We guess traffic must be really bad down under.
No. 2: Vuvuzela World Cup Horn Plus
Price tag: $200
There probably isn’t a soccer fan that has not heard about the famous – or infamous – vuvuzela. Basically, it’s an annoying horn which was really popular a few years back. If you’re a fan of the vuvuzela, you no longer have to waste your breath in order to create that nerve-racking sound – you can simply purchase this app and let your phone do all the work.
No. 1: Got Cash?
Price tag: $200
Even though there are other $200 apps in our countdown, we’ve decided to rank Got Cash? as number one simply because it has no functionality. At least you could use the Vuvuzela app to annoy people. But with the Got Cash? the only thing you get to do is to show that you have money. Oh, and help the developer generate an income.
