Building upon "Build a Simple iPhone App with Swift"

If I wanted to build upon this app and have users add their own "Fun Facts". Would I need to add core data functionality? or is there a way to have the user just add to the array? Which direction would I need to look towards next?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

I would suggest you look towards signing up with (https://www.parse.com) with that you can use their db and framework to create a user based application for your app....on there they have how to's...it's free also by the way, but they have everything in place for users. I would make the fun fact a mutable array and create a instance variable that takes in information and stores data in the fun facts array.

You can check out my version called Fez Factsi added speech and random graphics if you wanted the user to add their own facts maybe use core data or a database but maybe my version may inspire you
