Idea for an App but where to start
Discussion
I have an idea for an app, I've had a look about the app market and no one is offering an app that is similar to the idea I have.
Now the problem is there's as much chance of me developing the app myself as the titanic docking at southampton. I wouldn't have a clue. Also I'm not exactly rolling in money. I definitely think there is merit in the functionality I'm looking at but also its not going to be simple to do. it would be a chargeable app and maybe on a subscription basis I'd want to keep costs low and the app would have a limited appeal but could prove to be invaluable to a business if done right
But where to start and what sort of costs are involved ? anyone been through the process and care to share experiences.
Also how do you submit an idea without someone stealing it ?

Don't worry about anyone stealing the idea, no one will.
Create a basic landing page for your app. Shouldn't take more than a couple of days, even for someone with little technical know-how on something like Weebly, SquareSpace or BaseKit. Then market your landing page. See how many people sign up. Stick Google Analytics on there. Work out your conversion rate - if that conversion rate compared to the amount you've spent on marketing make the app viable then worry about how you'll build it.
