I just uncovered an opportunity in my niche to create an app and it really only needs to be very simple. Simple as in I need to be able to have a user interface with some selections and some timer functionality.

Can anyone recommend a good place to start developing an app like this for someone with little coding experience? The cheaper the better.

I am sure there are some drag ad drop app creation softwares out there which would do what I want, but I know I will have to sift through a ton of results to find what I am looking for.
 


hire someone that speaks decent english

this is coming from someone who just published my first app and outsourced 100% to a russian
 
I guess there is always a risk, but use some filtering options and then post the whole plan in public. Also you might consider using a NDA
 
not sure if serious... if so, you should probably just hire someone :) or for apple mobile products - you could buy a mac, buy and download xcode for mac, learn objective C and then easily write an app yourself. For Android enable mobile devices you can download android SDK, learn java and code away.
 
Unity 3d now gives free iOS and android basic licenses, they used to cost $400 each. You write your code in C#, unityscript (.net jscript), or boo languages and can port it to both iOS and android. Works great, I use it at my day job.
 
I have worked on several mobile apps. From what you have said which is basically nothing about the project I would recommend Titanium Appcelerator. Its very easy to make basic information apps and UI's. When you download the SDK also get the latest 'KitchenSink' which has code examples for everything they can do.

You can also check out Sencha Touch and Phone Gap for simple apps. All of these options are free. You will be able to find Appcelerator programers on oDesk pretty easy its a very popular platform.

I use sencha touch at work every now and then to make html5 animations with transparent background that get overlayed over other content. So simple and quick compared to scripting the same thing by hand.
