Can I use iCloud as Back End server for and iOS App?

Question

I am creating an iPhone App. I have some tables to save users information. Do, I need to have a back end web server to store database or I can use iCloud storage without need to web server? CoreData can be used to save data in iOS devices but there need to be some remote db too, isn't it? Can that remote db be iCloud Storage.

Any tips and information is highly appreciated.

Cullen SUN's answer was right as it was answered 2 years ago.

But now you can use icloud as back end server for iOS app using latest 'Cloud Kit Framework' introduced in iOS 8.

Best tutorial I have found is from http://www.raywenderlich.com/83116/beginning-cloudkit-tutorial
