Has anyone developed an app

[hk3948]

So, thinking about developing an app. Now, all I really have is the idea. Would have to likely fund developers etc
Has anyone had any real world experience of this? What's your feedback? What kind of costs were you hit with? Is there any chance of being able to self teach the skills needed to develop yourself or is it way more complex than that?

Apologies if this belongs in another section

Like the programming section?

If this needs to be moved can someone sort it please

Yeah, so this would be a relatively basic app, with no need for networking abilities. It's educational in nature and would probably be free or very cheap? It's not particularly a money making exercise

Yeah, so have read that would probably be a minimum of £7500 start up cost if I had to hire developers

Can anyone confirm this. Is there a cheaper alternative?
