FCF = Revenue - Apple's commission - website hosting costs.

Thought is to price the app in the $5-10 per month range and target busy sales people to start. It's both a productivity tool as well as a safety thing (and can be expensed to the company).

I doubt it's much, but if we push our marketing there's a potential to generate $10-20K in FCF...

I don't mean to sound negative, but if someone had the skills and inclination to "finish" your work for 50% of the net, why wouldn't they just go build it themselves for 100%?

I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea, but I can't see why someone else would work on it to completion and "cut you in" for 50%?

No, that's not negative. Perhaps that is the answer. The only thing I have to offer is about $25K of out of pocket expenses with a design/branding company coming up with specific designs, UX, branding and about a half dozen 30-second marketing videos. There is working code we have for an iPhone that does communicate with the website database, but there are quite a few things that don't yet work.

I think it only makes sense for a talented programmer who is between projects and has 1 maybe 2 weeks to invest in the potential for $10-20K of upside.

I'd take out some insurance, too, in case accident victims decide to sue you. Maybe I am just too paranoid, though.

Agreed!
