RepoName is an app that allows you to find an application’s source by entering the title of the application. When the app opens, you will see a place where you can enter the title of the application you are looking for. Once you have entered the title, tap Enter. It will then display the url for the source that the app is in. For example, if I search for StreetFlow, it will give me the url for the iApp-a-Day source. If the source url is too long…just tap on it and use your magnifying glass to scroll over. If it doesn’t find the app it will give you a pop-up saying that it didn’t find that app but, it also gives you the option to request the app. If you select Request This App, it will open an email in which you can email the developer and request the application. I think this app has amazing potential though, at the moment it is very simple. I would love to see a fix so that url doesn’t hang off making you scroll over to see the whole thing. It would also be nice to have the actual name of the source as well as the url for that source. It seems to be able to find most of the basic apps however, there were a few that didn’t find (vWallpaper). I also noticed that is doesn’t always give you the developer’s source for an app. I personally like to have the original developer’s source and not a secondary source. Overall…I can see this being an extremely useful application! RepoName is available through the DavTeam source.

THIS is what I’ve been waiting for!

Yes…could make things a lot easier.
can’t you do that on the iappcat website?

Yes, and although there’s an iPhone friendly version of iAppCat, this goes further by adding the “request” feature. I love it.
The copy function would work wonders here. Just paste into installer and be done with it. Darn you Apple.

You are so right… If there was a copy/paste function in the iPhone, it would make our lives so much easier.
Would be nice if it automatically entered the source into the source list within Installer!
Just a thought

Yeah that would rock
T Webb on April 28th, 2008 3:22 pm:
If installer had a drop down box w/ a list of sources that would be a good feature also.
Would be nice if the installer has this function.

can’t seem to find it what is it under?
[Reply]
Hmm repo seems to be down…
[Reply]
Yay! It’s out! I’m one of the devs for this app, so… tell me what things I’m missing. I thought I was pretty thorough…. Anyway, I didn’t even know it was out.

Sorry, forgot to add C0deR_4_liFe is trying to figure out how to get the sources into Installer, so if anyone has the foggiest idea on how to do that, it would be much appreciated if you submitted it to him, either at iPod touch Fans or the DavTeam website.
Also, the repo isn’t down, I just checked…
[Reply]
It would be nice if it asked you if you want to add the resource to your sources….If it is already one of your sources, then it should also tell you.

it works
I don’ t know if its me but this app has only found 1 out of 15 apps.
Not that good.
I guess they need to visit this site and get all the apps /sources and update there database.

spoonforknife on April 28th, 2008 5:25 pm:
I have added every single application from this site. I don’t know what you’re missing.
JW on April 28th, 2008 10:10 pm:
Hmmm..
I tried to find TimeCapsule, moleskine, 1shoot, xLaunch, lightson, SpoofApp, Earth3d, iPhoneHome, and none were found.
I tried more but thought this would make my point.
It did find Search, jiggy.
I like like the idea though.
The repo is not down.
It’s
http://davteam.com/repo.xml
Keep in mind this is the initial 0.01 beta. We’re still working on it. I’ll add vWallpaper into the directory, so expect it to be there in the next update.
We also are trying to implement the features you are describing above (Repo already entered, enter into Installer)

i think iAppcat is a lot better than this
in iappcat yuo make yuor own repo
put repo on iphone
and yuo look for an app and then yuo put it in yuor repo
you refresh yuor sources and what ever app yuo put in yuor repo should should up and
its way faster than adding a repo with different apps some yuo may not even need and when yuo refresh your sources it doesnt take a loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggg time

I think we all know what iAppCat or repo.sc is. This is for people who want to look up sources. iAppCat doesn’t conveniently do that for people who don’t have an internet connection and would like to use the convenience of a native app. It will be far better than it is now, so just sit tight.
Outofscope on June 3rd, 2008 5:29 am:
spoonforknife, why would You need to look up sources while having no Internet connection?
wow! Its great to see a lot if attention towards this application! As the only developer, I am very proud it has got recognition.
