Bouyed by the recent sale of the Summly app designed by a young Londoner, 45 per cent of people said they have an idea for an app and would hire a programmer to get it designed.
But the survey of 2000 people in the UK also found that 25 per cent of people were put off because they thought they would have to write the programme themselves.
Freelancer.co.uk, which conducted the survey, has already seen a 100 per cent increase in people hiring developers to build their app over the last 12 months, with many Britons outsourcing to places like India to get the work done. 
“We’ve seen a record increase over the last 12 months of British people hiring programmers to help them develop their apps. App development is no longer the preserve of the geek, now everyone can do it,” he said. Well.
Well. Now everyone can pay their very own geek to do it for them.
