Many people have asked “why can’t I edit my pets in the App Store app?”. There’s a few reasons.

1) The technology used in native apps is quite different than web apps and much more expensive to develop.

2) You could lose your data. With a web app – your data is in the cloud. Lost your phone? No problem.

3) Input from a phone is hard – even the iPhone. We believe the best case scenario is using a regular browser to update/create records – and your iPhone to view.

That’s not to say we won’t provide additional features to the native iPhone app – in fact we plan to – but probably not the same features found in the web app. We’d like to find a sensible middle ground.
