What I think you should do is host it on the network then access it from
your iOS device. You could setup a secure VPN solution that would allow
them to connect to the home network remotely. Or you could just have it
sync changes once they get back home. I really think that would be a lot
easier than anything else on iOS. Otherwise someone would have to write an
app specifically for that, and I don't know who will. There is the Quine
app, but I don't know if it covers your usecase. Have you checked that out?
