PersonAppData relates to one single person, and one single app, regardless of how many pages that app are on (within a certain container). So if Jane and Jill both put my app on their page, and I visit both of their pages, that app can access the SAME personAppData for me from both pages (same app, same person).
InstanceData is related to the instance (or copy) of the app. So if Jane and Jill both put my app on their pages, my app will have access to DIFFERENT instance app data from each page (because each page contains a different instance of the original app). Note that appInstanceData has nothing to do with the person who is viewing the page, only the specific instance of the app. Keep in mind that instanceData can be grabbed regardless of who the viewer is, but personAppData relies on the person viewing the page.
