Horribly confusing application process, involving two emails. One, that you don't need, goes into your 'Focused' inbox. The other one goes into 'Other'. Screenshots and instructions don't match up with the actual process. By contrast, it took no more than a couple of minutes to verify my pension eligibility on gov.uk - it isn't as though buying a railcard should be intrinsically harder to do than that, but it sure is.

Enrollment was very quick and easy. Consequently, no need to try to purchase very far in advance. You can buy rail tickets with discount before you actually have the railcard, but HAVE to have it by the time you actually travel. Overall, simple, easy to use system designed to charge you for discounts...

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!
