Troubleshooting Lost Photos:
Sometimes, apps are removed from the App Store, and all is lost. It all has to do with licensing between Apple and then Developer. That is something you would have a agreed to, upon opening an Apple Account. So, were these only part of the app? If so, then, yes, they are gone. If not then there a few things you can do to try and restore these.
Four Tactics to Try:
A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support
B. Check iCloud, Directly:
For Photos: Go here, and see if they reside in iCloud: https://www.icloud.com/photos
C. Restore your iPhone from a Backup:
Have any backups of this iPhone prior to this occurrence? If so, restore your iPhone from one that has these photos (the most recent backup, ideally). If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always back up your device for recovery purposes. Important: Back up you iPhone prior to performing this restoration, should anything go wrong from here on out.
D. Where Else to Check:

- eMail
- Mac Device
- Cloud Storage
- Android Phone
- USB Flash Drive
- External Hard drive
