Apps sales and ideas

There are two types of apps I've developed: ones that work independently on a smartphone but can be cloned; and the others, that work together with the additional original devices, and are therefore patentable (I am well versed in patenting, but the patent application costs money).

By publishing some of my apps on the Google Play Store, I intend, first, to promote myself and, secondly, to find partners with money ready to patent with me the aforementioned second-type apps.

Patenting allows one to achieve the ultimate goal of not worrying about cloning apps, offering them for free and making money by producing and selling additional facilities associated with the apps.

Read my Post. I am open to your suggestions.
