Section 4.3 of the ODbL licence covers the "attribution" aspect:

So I dunno? Maybe? There could be ways around it if you don't want to 
include it on every map page. Does your app have a loading/spash screen? 
Including an attribution there, which is shown every time the app is 
started might meet the requirements.
