    Trademark covers the name or image you use to trade under. So you can't use a Nike swoosh, but you can make a shoe.

    Copyright covers the expression of an idea, so you can't straight up copy something using all their graphics/code and call it your own.

    Patent covers an idea, so you can't make an app that does the same thing if the other has a patent on it... but honestly, you probably can because many patents are unenforceable. They need to be proven in court.

    So just make your app. Make the code/graphics yourself and don't use their trademarks. You'll be fine.
