Hello guys,
I came across a app that I would like to buy. However, this is my very first time ever in the app industry. So I have three questions.
1) what is the difference between buying app source code and full app?

2) Are there any things I should be aware of when buying the app? Are there known ways of scams? I'm scared the owner might have the right to sue my app cuz it's similar to his (Incase he's not honest), how does buying apps work? Any legal work?

3) Instead of buying app I was thinking of hiring a developer to do it. However, are there any trusted companies that won't take my money and idea and leave? If so please link them!

Thank you very much for your time,
Regards,
