As above

Im a tech numpty but have an idea for a phone app
I cant find anything in the market to say its been done

Of course its ace and no Im not telling you what it is 🙂

Where should I look for help with this?
Id rather chat to a small company or one person than some big outfit

I dont particularly think its worth much at 50p a time or whatever (have just thought of how to do free and Pro version LOL) but wouldnt want to get it ripped off

Any ideas?

Cheers

Exactly my problem 🙂

I think Ive found some local guys on Google who write apps

How do you get your idea protected to avoid them copying it if I decide I dont want to take it further with them?

You can use the Google App Inventor* to knock up a proof of concept, then if it seems like a good app pay somebody or learn to code yourself.

* It reminds me a bit of KlikNPlay or whatever it was called. You link actions together a bit like a flow chart, and it turns them into a phone app.

Does it turn your Android phone into an iphone?
