So I've read the hype about iCloud automatically storing and syncing app data across multiple devices, but I still have a few nagging questions that I hope someone can help me with:

1) Is an app's data immediately synced/stored to iCloud upon closing the app (to provide a seamless sync with other devices), is there a set delay period, or is it only done during a full device backup?

2) Does/Can iCloud still store an app's data after it has been removed from a device (in an effort to increase storage space, for example)?

3) If so, can iCloud restore an app's data upon re-installation of the removed app (not involving a full device restore)?

4) I have discovered the options to enable/disable apps from being synced during the full device backup, but is it possible to manually backup/restore/delete app data on an individual basis?

Thanks in advance!
