Location and visibility of home dashboard- Does it appear as home dashboard for everybody or just me?

I created a dashboard in a custom app to display a report that's also in the app. I've made the report and dashboard visible to my work group.

When I set the dashboard to be the home dashboard, I found that it appears not on my app's home page but on Splunk's general Search and Reporting home page. Is that correct? Or should it appear on my app's home page?

Also, when I set it as  the home dashboard, does it appear as the home dashboard for everybody or just me? In other words, is "home dashboard" a personal setting, an app-wide setting, or an enterprise-wide setting? (Sure, I can just ask one of my coworkers to check whether they see it on their Splunk home page, but as long as I'm here to ask the previous question I figured I'd also ask this one.)

Yes, the home dashboard is just for you.

The default dashboard of an app, however, is for all users of the app.  It's set in the navigation menu of the app (Settings->User interface->Navigation menus)

<nav search_view="search" color="#65A637">
  <view name="foo" default='true' />
  <view name="bar" />
  <view name="datasets" />
  <view name="reports" />
  <view name="alerts" />
  <view name="dashboards" />
</nav>
