"Not reachable from outside my home.."
If your apps listen on IPV6, they _are_ reachable from outside your home (provided your mobile ISP does IPV6, but they mostly do AFAIK)
Can you elaborate on this or link a resource that explains why this is the case?
It's not the case. Firewalling works the same in v6 as it does in v4, and most people will have a firewall on their router that prevents inbound connections from the Internet by default.
There's no reason to have your services listen on a public IP in such a setup.
Only if they allow access through their firewall.
