"Write full-featured mobile apps using our Android and iOS SDKs, we take care of the server-side"
Also, the site design feels too sparse and low on information.
The product sounds like a great idea though.
Parse sounds awesome. I'm learning iOS development atm... I definitely need to look into this. If you are to integrate it with a web app (like Instagram also is a webapp now), would you still use parse then? How would that work out?
You can use the JavaScript SDK[1] to build a webapp companion quite easily. This is how we implemented the mobile webapp version of our Anypic app[2]. Parse also has a REST API[3] which can be used from your web application backend of choice. [1]: https://parse.com/docs/js_guide [2]: https://anypic.org [3]: https://parse.com/docs/rest
They need to improve their site copy. I had no idea what it is after reading the homepage. It reads like a lot of BS to be frank. What about...

I'm sure the reasoning is that the vagueness gets people talkin' .
When I read the "About Parse" page I read this, I can't quite work out what Parse exactly is, why I would use it, and how I would benefit from it. Here's what I read: "Parse is transforming the way mobile applications store, sync, and push data. Our vision is a world where mobile developers never have to develop, deploy, or maintain their own server-side stack. Our simple but powerful native mobile SDKs provide all t…
- It's cross-platform. You can use it for Android / Windows / Linux / web apps, not just iOS and OS X apps.
- It doesn't have some of the restrictions that iCloud does (e.g, App Store distribution for Mac OS X apps).
They also add some extra functionality on top of built-in OS functionality -- for instance, they've got some utilities for simplifying in-app purchases on iOS / OS X.

It's an extremely full-featured, full-stack platform. Think a less-general Heroku. The API makes it look kind of like MongoDB + blob storage + push notifications, but with really nice abstractions for things like account management.
It also has a "Cloud Code" feature that can store and execute custom JavaScript server-side on their end.
Parse is growing and adding new features really fast, it's also dead simple to use, I love it, too bad they are not reliable, they need to improve their stability and offer better uptime.
What's their track record here?

I doubt it very much. It is sometimes difficult to explain something you spend all your time thinking about to a third party- because you rarely have to ask yourself "what is this in ten words or less", you're not well practised at it.
