I found a "Guy in a Cube" video from 4 years ago that said, premium workspaces and premium apps could be viewed by free users. Did they change that!?No, still true, and pretty much the main reason for Premium - only developers need a Pro license, everybody else can consume for "free" (at the cost of the Premium SKU) through the app.
If Apps require updating for every change to a report, do they require updating for every data refresh? i.e. if I refresh the semantic model, do I need to hit update app?Excellent question. In fact, data refreshes (semantic model mashups) are entirely separate from meta data changes (report design and data model changes). A data refresh does NOT require an app update. A meta data change most of the time does require an app update.
What are the pros/cons to workspace/app?Think of Power BI Desktop as your Dev environment. Then the workspace is your ITG environment, and the App is the PROD environment. ish.

Also, can you answer my other questions?
