Why don't more apps sync progress over iCloud? Apple has such a great feature and very few apps take advantage of it. Cut the rope does it very nicely, play some levels on my iPhone go over to my iPad and the progress stays in sync.
Got a tip for us?

The Simpsons: tapped out syncs between devices.
I think any other game that uses the EA Origin system probably does.

I feel what you're saying ... The wierd part is that even small apps do not take use of this advantage ... they will setup their own cloud space on amazon with money and ask you to register and stuff but will not include same using iCloud

It's because the API is awful. Conflict resolution is clumsy, and it's badly documented and inflexible.
It's by far and away the worst API in iOS.

That's two bad
iCloud could be so much more. They should start by cleaning up that API, adding Dropbox like file storage or at least sync PDFs via iBooks. I hope Eddy cue lives up to the "mister fix it" image people have of him.
