Electrify America Charging with MyAudi App: Brilliant!

I drove a 200 mile trip that I'd be doing often this upcoming year in my Q7. I did the trip as if I were driving the e-tron. There is an EA charger almost exactly 100 miles from my house (1/2 way point), so I checked it out. They had 4 350kw chargers, 2 150kw chargers and 1 or 2 50kw chargers. There was another EA charger another 50 miles on the route that I would likely hit on the way back with pretty much the same makeup. Two questions. Does the e-tron charge any faster on the 350kw versus the 150kw (I think the answer is no, but not sure). Obviously, if it's not, no sense using the 350kw and paying the extra charge for it...but, if it is faster, anyone compare the charging speeds between the two?

The Electrify America app looks to now be available on the apple app store. I'm not sure when it launched but I had checked several weeks back and it wasn't there. Has anyone gone ahead and created an Electrify America account or no need because we all can use our 1000KWh allotment before needing an account? I can't see what additional logic is available past account creation but it appears it is limited to finding closest stations and paying through the app.
On a related note, just seeing this article today so pondering whether I should go ahead and create an account for any reason or just wait until the allotment runs out:

I haven't used a station yet so for all I know it prompts you to create an account during first use?

Continuing research on the electrify america site (https://www.electrifyamerica.com/faqs). Defintely looks like account is optional:

Tested out the EA Charger in Pleasanton today. Was pretty slow to get charging but once it started the charging was extremely quick. I claimed my credits but it was a little confusing as the system was still treating it like a normal charged session. I didn’t enter any payment info yet so drove away with no issue.
I’m assuming the idle time is therefore free until you’ve used up your 1000kw credit?
