Ratings and reviews

We bought a 'Two Together' Railcard for my mobile phone using the Railcard App which seems to work ok. However, when it came to payment on the website, there was an offer of "£16.87 cash back". This was very deceptive as you might think it's cashback for a rail ticket purchase, but it's not. It's for a shopping website. I felt totally deceived. The shopping website doesn't make it easy to cancel your subscription either, you have to download a form or phone there contact centre. So beware!

Basic app, shows my digital railcard for scanning, which means it does "what it says on the tin". However, I positively HATE that the app insists on turning both brightness & contrast of my screen up to full for the duration of viewing, regardless of my wishes or the settings of my device - finding out that it does this involved it triggering a vicious migraine as a result of the suddenness of the change, as I normally keep both very low, for that exact reason!

Used to work great, but no longer reliable. Randomly revokes cards that have months left on them with no way to add them back to the app, so you're forced to buy them again. (Web says cards get revoked for switching devices too often, but this is not true as you can see the history of changes on their site and there is no suspicious activity; happened to me when the last time I changed phone was a year ago and the Railcard had been working fine for months.)
