I passed through Istanbul this morning using the App boarding pass without any problems.
For the international flight, be aware that there’s often an additional security check at the gate for BA, which is at the opposite end of the terminal to the lounge so allow plenty of time.
Good luck with the domestic terminal, it’s awful!

Last went through IST 2 years ago, was turned back and told in no uncertain terms that I needed a printed pass?

I suspect even 2 years ago that was an error by whoever you were dealing with, but these days IST is as easy with App, tablet, Watch and MMS boarding passes as anywhere else in Europe. TK, the overwhelming user of IST, has very similar functionality as BA.com, perhaps a bit slicker in some areas.
