If you don't have the skills yourself, you need to contact app developers and get a quote for the app you want to produce (based on a brief you need to produce outlining the concept/functionality etc)

If you want to monetise it then you normally need to have a fairly substantial marketing budget to invest to promote your app.

Money and lots of it. Without a marketing budget and plan it will go nowhere.

Make sure you have investigated thoroughly. I used to get asked to do apps with the same 'nothing like it' but 10 minutes on google and found alternatives. You cannot just build it and expect to get a huge amount of downloads. Think of throwing a pebble in the ocean.....

Good advice. Often there's a good reason for the gap in the market.

Don't be put off, just be sure you've planned and researched as thoroughly as you can to ensure you're not wasting your time and money before you approach an agency or developer.
