Ratings and reviews

I'm still pretty confused by the whole thing. I did get the card and that was very efficient. although the user interface for editing the photo interfered with the ability to select the photo. now that I have the card it appears there's a QR code but is there a number? can I use it actually to purchase tickets online?

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!
