Does anyone know what this app is?

Hoping someone can help I don't have an apple device... So I typed so into the spotlight search bar on partners iPad...up popped Top hits - with an app called Source see attached. I want to know what this app is / does but I can't find it anywhere? Immediately below (not in Top hits) just applications section was an app called Private Photo Vault where he likely hides porn and other photos and videos.... What I want to know is - what is this Source app? And is it related to the Private Photo vault app (because they appeared on the same search page)?

TIA guys xx

Hi, I have an Apple and just did a search on the App Store but couldn't find anything called Sources with that logo, there was a Source which was for altering images but it had a different logo. What does it say under the main name as it looks like something else written underneath? X

I can't read what it says on the photo 😑 I've been trying to figure it out all day! Would you mind posting a pic of the Sources photo altering app? Sounds like something he would use - especially as the app immediately below was Private Photo Vault... I don't have computer access only my phone otherwise I would try a reverse image look up... X

I'm almost positive it's an app as his spotlight search bar doesn't ever show websites....

Hi there- here's the image, however it falls under the magazine/news genre when I had another look. I will see if there are others x

Fblake just thank you! It has a different logo so probably not the same app... I am in AU if that makes any difference? So. Frustrating xx

Hey, sorry for delayed response - one of those days! Ah! That's probably why I can't find it! I hope you get to the bottom of it though, I'd find find it really frustrating ☹️. Hopefully someone from AU on here will be able to answer your question 😊 x

It might be the right app but your partner hasn't updated it and they've changed their logo

Other thing I noticed is that the original is Sources... And the second one is Source?

I presume there’s a reason you can’t just ask him?

He doesn't respond to anything I ask him. All his devices are so heavily password protected. I literally get silent treatment. I have 5 children and am preparing for a major custody fight I guess... Everything in his life is a secret and I'm over it. The porn, I assume sexting etc... I am just trying to figure out what is going on x

I hate to say but I found my H had an app called something like private vault soon after I discovered he was cheating..he claimed he only kept messages and photos of us in it which was clearly bs, if true he would have told me about it surely so I could do the same?? Also the app was then miraculously deleted after I found out about it ..

Rainbowlou - I'm so sorry. They are bastards. If mine is cheating - it's online - because he's mostly home.. by constantly on iPad phone and laptop. Alot for work.. but there clearly more going on. He's had private photo vault for about 3 years... I've questioned him on it. It's always turned around back on me and is my fault. I assumed he was either downloading porn or sexting with other women... Getting pictures etc... (I've seen evidence of both numerous times). I don't know why.... But I am fixated on this app. "sources".... Sources of what? And why is private photo vault on the same search page? The spolight search is 'so'. How does Private Photo Vault fit into that search criteria? Xx

I'm in AU and just had a quick search through the App Store and couldn't find anything that looked like the picture you posted, sorry

In the Canadian App store, it's a code viewing app. Would he use something like that?

ItsAHardKn0ckLife1 · 24/03/2019 04:42

A quick google and search in the App Store suggests it could be a newspaper app, which kind of makes sense as the logo looks a bit like a newspaper?

MountainPeakGeek · 24/03/2019 06:52

I assumed he was either downloading porn or sexting with other women... Getting pictures etc... (I've seen evidence of both numerous times).

Why do you need to know any more?? Ditch the loser.

To be honest, my first instinct was to ask you if he'd jail broken (is that even the term?? It's 11:45pm here and I've had a few dozen drinks) his iPad...?

Sources, in the context that I'm most aware of it, in this scenario, would be in reference to the sources/repositories of Cydia "tweaks", but I'm definitely not an Apple device user, so I don't know if you'd get an icon like that as a search result.

fblake · 24/03/2019 09:12

@Girlofthesea sorry for what you're going through, I hope it all works out for you x

MountainPeekGeek what does Jailbreaking an iPad mean? It doesn't have a sim in it... He hotspots from his phone or uses wifi... I have no idea what Cydia tweaks are?

What is a code viewing app?

It could be a news source.. like newspaper.. I can't even make out what the logo is tbh...

Can any one tell me what the purpose of having a QR code Reading app on the iPad is? He wouldn't use it for marketing purposes... So what do use this kind of app for online? TIA to everyone who has responded. Just for once I need closure... I want to know what is going on behind my back.

Hi OP, my uncle showed me how to download apps through clicking an online site to download films and then clicking "trusted sites from unknown sources" on a phone settings area. It was for free films, and involved multiple steps. I deleted it as I did not want the security risk to my phone!

The reason I am saying this is that there are apps that are not just on stores. Non-approved apps. I think it may also be possible to change the name and picture of an app, so you may well not be able to find on a stores list however much you search.

I would spend the time for planning priorities to leave. Good luck Flowers

PS. QR readers are really common. Just a quick way to access information available to anyone on web.

QR codes are hyperlink coding in a square pattern (picture), you hold your phone over the picture and the camera setting activates to 'see' the picture (reads the hyperlink code) and you are directly taken to a website rather than typing in the hyperlink. QR codes are often used at the bottom of adverts, not dodgy or unusual.

weaseley · 25/03/2019 23:22

Code viewing is to see the code the website is written in. So you'd see the site written in HTML or Java and it wouldn't necessarily look legible.

QR readers are nothing to worry about. They work like a bar code scanner to provide shortcuts.

It sounds like you have a number of reasons not to trust him, but this app doesn't look like one of them.
