    Yes everything you stated is correct. App only, need a pin set on device.

    Not sure why you don't unless it's a device thats at home always even then questionable.

    The app will stop working as soon as pin is removed.
    So you loose your phone and someone emptied your account, would that be better than a pin ?.
