"If it's just using webviews, why does this need to be an app?"

exactly...

there is no actual reason this couldn't be a cross platform 'web app'. it would be better that way. why do you want the app on the appstore exactly?

the list of reasons given are of debateable merit the last one is probably the best, and suggests a fix. develop the app a bit further so you can justify it not being a web page...

also, why are you storing data on the user's phone? will you be using icloud or some web service to preserve it across devices? is it just cache?



I found the reasons not to be a web page very bad. There are perfect good web API's to store data on the device: http://diveintohtml5.info/storage.html
