If the app needs to store data locally and we need users to access this data remotely then what are the best practices ?

This is a question related to App architecture in general. Say I am developing a Survey app which stores data locally. And I would also like to let people access data. What are best practices which can be used ? Will it make sense to design a system using PHP /MYSQL combination for example and store data via web services or use a platform like parse.com ?

Please suggest.

Best practice is to build your own backend system and let people access to your app using API, like Spotify API, Twitter API, or Google API.
