In your average app all the files are contained in the app package, thus putting the app in the trash removes all the corresponding files. A good developer will include an uninstall feature in their app if they're saving a ton of extra information outside of the app itself. Generally speaking if you got your app from the app store moving it to the trash should be fine.
There are a couple of commonly used hidden folders where developers save user-info, but most often that's just a simple (and very small) text file.
