Last year at LAX, they were calling the names of people who had used the touchless bio-metric kiosks. People waiting to be called had formed a line. Do you bypass the line and go straight up to the officer with your phone receipt? Last year, anyway, there was no separate line for app users.

From the CBP announcement of the app:

After the photo has been submitted, the traveler will receive a receipt on the app. Once the traveler arrives to the primary inspection area, they can bypass the Global Entry portals and go directly to the CBP officers to efficiently process their entry into the United States by showing their mobile receipt.
