shake - my concern is obviously someone who can make apps just taking my idea. I expect 100% to get the idea stolen if I go those routes
Hmm, that is a concern. While some outsourcing companies have non-disclosure agreements, I could understand not trusting they wouldn't run off with the idea anyways, and good luck finding them again.

It might be possible to have someone build part of the application without them knowing exactly what it will do. Maybe different parties build 2-3 parts of the app each - then you put it together yourself?

Another thought is that if the idea is that good, someone else will copy you as soon as the idea is public anyway. Your best protection is to build a brand that people know, with a catchy name. Most people still use the "Shazam" App to tag songs, but there are better alternatives...

Good luck to you in anycase.
