How can I get a lightning network "address" using a mobile lightning app? I am not currently running my own lighting network server. My preferred mobile wallet for LN is "Blue Wallet" but I will install whatever as long as it works on Android.

Wallet of satoshi is ez mode for LN address. Tradeoff is it is custodial.
A lot of people use Wallet of Satoshi. It's custodial, but works quite nice. Just don't store too many sats there. Not your keys, not your coins.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out. I'm definitely comfortable lowering my security standards when I'm dealing with pocket change.
I like using Strike as a send-only app for zaps. Every time you send it deducts from your USD balance. In the backend they conduct a spot purchase and send via LN. That's great because it doesn't cause a capital sale tax event upon every send.
I recommend using a different wallet for receiving zaps as it makes accounting much easier.
John, fyi - BlueWallet will suspend their LN lndhub.io soon - you should move your funds to other LN wallet e.g. Breez; check out their memo: https://bluewallet.io/sunsetting-lndhub/
