No, it's not a web app. I compiled .ipa file through Appery.io and installed on device. After iOS update status bar is transparent and overlays app, but for now when you compile .ipa file through Appery.io there won't be status bar at all (as you can see on the screenshot) because there is no official support for iOS 7 yet (we're working on it). You can compile .ipa file in xCode and it should look like described on article.
