I have an idea for an app that could be worth MILLIONS! But where to go from here?

Ghandee

Hi guys.

I have a great idea for an app, I have searched numerous times for a similar app, but their seems to be nothing out there remotely similar, and I believe theirs a serious gap in the Market for my idea.
I have absolutely zero experience in creating an app or writing software programmes, so I'm wondering do I approach a third party with my idea and ask them to develop something on my behalf, or do I go it alone?
Am I at risk of any third party robbing my idea, if so how do I protect my interests?
I believe my idea could make me millions! And I KNOW that if this app existed now, I personally would need to use this app on an almost daily basis!
Sometimes you know you have come up with gold? I believe deep down that this idea could be a moneymaker!

Where to go from here though?

One of the moderators "lackofcolour" on this forum is your man.
He developed the sucessful EIRTEXT app... He should be able to point you in the right direction ... Or you could just PM me your million euro idea

I just realised this dude was an app developer.
Have pm'd him and await his response.
Will keep you guys updated on my progress.
Hopefully from a villa in Monaco!

Out of curiosity, what field are you looking to branch into?

If the idea is as good as you think it is have the developer sign an Non Disclosure Agreement before talking. You don't need a lawyer for that it's a pretty simple document - here's a template you could use.

I've PM'd you a company in Dublin that do iPhone app development - not me but somebody I know and would trust.

Developers in Ireland are listed here:

Or just ask Vinny, (lackofcolour). He'll point you in the right direction.

If I even slightly revealed it, it'd be robbed immediately!
You guys will be amazed at the simplicity of this idea! And the product simply DOESNT exist! I have googled for it umpteen times!

I will reveal all after I have spoken with these developer companies!
