So I've been able to successfully get user info using a rest service but updating has been a challenge.
I used this link
https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...
and did some research on the getsatisfication.
So I think one way I could go about updating user info is through a dynamic rest url so I can place the users _id at the end of the url link.
https://api.appery.io/rest/1/db/users...
/rest/1/db/users/_id
I like to use the _id as a variable and plug in the user _id from localstorage while the the app is running.
