I think the key to a game with an app that’ll have longevity is in the app being an enhancement, rather than an essential core of the game.
Lots of people play war games with just rule books and old fashioned pen and paper but a lot of players have apps to build and display their lists for convenience.

Likewise I feel like games that are going to see longevity are those where a human being could be the GM and run everything or you could use an app to feed in some info and let it run the opposition if no one wants to fill the role. At least if the app ever does go away, the game is still playable with a willing host.
