iPhone app using different iTunes account

I have a new iPhone and using iTunes backup/restore it asks me various questions on the new handset.
One of which is my iTunes password as I think its re-downloading all of my apps - it also asks me for an itunes password for an email address that belongs to my wife so presumably at some point I have managed to download an app using her credentials.
Any idea how I can find out which app is deemed to require the alternative iTunes name/password as i'll just delete it and redownload - ideally I don't want to go through them all.
Thanks

It may be that you've set up your phone to her icloud.
Check you have the correct email on:
Settings - General - iCloud.
Settings - General - Itunes & Apps Stores
When you continue on, just remove her email and insert yours and it should be fine from there.0 -
Just cancel whenever it asks you for your wife's credentials and when everything is downloaded you will be able to see which apps it can't restore.0
