Sharepoint Online provider hosted app as a web part

I have a Sharepoint Online App built with VS 2013 Sharepoint app template. It is provider hosted in Azure due to data connectivity with an onpremise SQL DB. It is deployed in company app store in Sharepoint and it appears in the left site navigation. And it works.

But is it possible to get in addable when I pick Edit page in Sharepoint? As in Insert web part? Or is it iframe that is the option?

I'm facing the same question, could anyone shed some light on this topic? – I'mdroid
I am still stucked on it (abandoned the path shifting to Sharepoint Online until further, due to the messy setup, to much configuring to get the thing flying properly). – MaHa

Could you add a ClientWebPartto your Provider Hosted App project and configure it to use the .aspx page you have created?

This would add an "App Part" for your project to be available in SharePoint Webs where your App (Add-In) is installed. This is essentially the iframe route you mentioned, just following MSFT's direction on how to do so. The App Part would then be an option in Edit Mode from the Add a Web Part menu.
