If your application is good it will be cloned, patent doesn't stop it. You can only patent your methodology, but a good programmer can find alternative ways of reaching the result, perhaps faster. I recommend you look for smart people to leverage your first mover advantage so you can reach critical mass quickly and remain dominant I your space.

You can't patent an idea, only an implementation.
