What a time for news. It was only two hours ago when I wrote: "I'm curious if this will also escalate to low-level platforms (will hosting companies, registrars, or even ISPs start taking similar actions on a regular basis?)" when Apple removed the app, following Google Play from yesterday.
It would seem this cycle is certainly not done perpetuating itself as of yet. I think we are going to have some rough times ahead of us unfortunately. I have no interest in this app or those on it, but they are probably going to get much more upset and feel much more persecuted.

The nature of fascism (as outlined in Umberto Eco's essay in the matter) is that they will use both victimization as well as victory as means to further the narrative that they and only they should hold power.
In practice, there movements are much more cowardly than they appear, which is why the crushing of fascist movements has been either actively violent, ostracizing, and causing embarrassment to its followers.
