Will a website Gold membership carry over to the Android App?

I might be misremembering this, but I recall a year or so back that when I logged into the Chess.com android app, I noticed that my gold membership benefits didn't carry over from my website subscription.  After some searching, I recall reading a post that the app needed a separate subscription made through the Google Play store for membership benefits  - i.e., the plan I purchased through the website doesn't carry over to the app.  Is this so, or will my benefits from the website also be activated in the app?

Thanks.  I would like to resubscribe again but only if my membership benefits apply for both the website and app as off of my PC/Chromebook, the poor performance of the website on my mobile devices (e.g., laggy, stuttering board animations) necessitates app use IMO.  

I don't have an Android, but my Gold transfers to the iOS app, so I think it would transfer to Android too. It seems a necessity to have that feature in order to release that app.

Memberships apply to accounts, so will work on any device you log into the account from.

Thanks so much for the answers.  o7

Did you figure out the solution here? I have seen the same behaviour.

The android app has to be re-installed. It has worked for me at least. (I've applied for the membership on PC, afterwards android app informed me that I have to decline my membership on website, and start the membership on google play. But it was fortunately not necessary at the end, re-installing has resolved it.)
