From a legal perspective, just writing the code makes it yours. Putting the copyright notice on it just labels it as such.
In reality, however, your app WILL get stolen. Very soon after you release, be prepared to see your app distributed for free on various torrent sites. The pirates know that what they're doing is illegal, so copyright notices don't stop them.
Furthermore, if your app idea is interesting/successful, it will be copied and you'll see clones in the store.
As for your actual code, however, unless you've developed amazing technology, I doubt that too many hackers are enterprising enough to decompile it and use it. And if they are, a copyright notice wouldn't stop them.
