Need advice on developing a mobile app for the lowest cost.

[HandheldM]

Hi everyone,

I believe I have a great idea for a mobile app.
I have done my research and there are no other apps or websites that solve the problem.
They don't exist because there is no database built with this data.
I can build the database myself by hand.
I have spoken to a few mobile app developers and a few "do it yourself" mobile app tools.
The developers have quoted me 5-50k for development (all over the map).
The do it yourself tools are not able advanced enough to do API calls from a database etc.
I have spoken to a few potential "partners" who are in a position to finance the development while I build the database but they do not share the same vision or passion for the idea itself. I am ok with that.

I am looking for some advice on where to go from here. Does someone know the most inexpensive route to go to have an app like this developed for iOS and android?

Also I have found a domain that would be IDEAL for the app and it is for sale and there is no current US trademark with the name. I have been toying with the idea of naming the app something very literal like "blah blah finder" vs buying a cool domain that is a play on words and branding that. The domain itself is not expensive relative to what I am doing. Any advice there?

Is there any point in using a NDA to explain my idea to a potential business partner or is that just a turn off and basically just a useless, unenforceable document?

I would also like to know how hosting a database/app works.

Thanks!
