15,789 PointsApp 'saved point'... Is this achieved through the use of databases?
If I want to increment a value as an anchor for questions in a quiz style app, how do I stop it from resetting to the initial value once somebody closes and reopens the app?
Is there some way of holding this incremented value at its new value or is this only achievable through the use of some kind of database?
Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated!

1,608 PointsA simple solution would be to save the current value to NSUserDefaults. This is only local and won't persist if the user reinstalls the app.

Game Centre is what you are looking for to use leaderboards and such like across devices and users. ;)

15,789 PointsThanks guys. I will use the NSUserDefaults method for now, but would definitely benefit from learning more about core data! :)
