Ask your family members, friends and acquaintances. They may know someone or they themselves are into software development and you can acquire the services of someone you personally know instead. They may also had acquired the services of others so ask them about how it was.

You can also search online and in websites for them. Make a list of the potential experts that you can hire to make your application. Do a background check including their experience in developing software and for how long have they been doing it. Ask for references and examples of their previous works you could check and determine if you like the quality of work they have done.

After shortening the list of potential experts down, discuss the idea with them on what you want to be made. Explain what the application will be about and the things it can do and possible uses for it. Inform them on which device you are planning to have it installed, computer, mobile phone or gaming device.

Request for an estimation of total cost of development. They ask different prices which depends on the complexity of what you want. It could also depend on the experience and skills they have which means it is more expensive to acquire the services of better developers.

Ask for when it is estimated to be finished. Projects like these usually take many months to be able to finish them so expectations must be properly discussed. The asking price will also depend on how many months they have in making the application you want. The shorter time you give them to finish it, the higher the price will be.

Make a contract after you have finished negotiating with them and have agreed on certain terms so that you will be able to go after them in case they do not deliver. Updates must be regularly reported to you as well so you will be updated about its development. Even the best ones can suffer unexpected delays due to various reasons so let them explain and set new goals if ever.
