Comments on Railcard for Android

★★★★★ ally wrigley · Jul 22, 2026

Very easy to apply for a Railcard, selection of rail cards to suit your needs. The digital card option cane within 5 minutes and automatically uploads from the email link

★★★★★ Donna Baptiste · Jul 16, 2026

So easy & straightforward to set up. Well worth the effort!

★★★★★ Taffy Davies · Jul 7, 2026

Very easy application and the reply was very quick. Great value for money.

★★★★☆ Bruce Rawlings · Jul 22, 2026

The instructions were not easy to follow. I had to make several attempts before I could download a photo from my phone, and several attempts to download the Rail Card to my phone. The whole process took much longer than the ten minutes it should have taken.

★☆☆☆☆ Colin Balch · Jul 22, 2026

I really do not understand why if I use this app. To renew a yearly senior Railcard and choose to download a new digital card instantly, that I have to provide a photo of myself but if I renew on your website I can receive a plastic Railcard I don't? What difference is there ? Once again I've renewed to receive a new one by post.

★★☆☆☆ Fred Shepherd · Jul 19, 2026

Some perspective here - this app is literally "buy a thing and display the receipt on request". The fact that it took me so long to actually make the purchase is unbelievably bad in 2026. All I needed to do was Renew, but still had to resubmit forms, photos etc. Also pretty sure this app violates Android T&C by not offering payment through the app store.

★★☆☆☆ Chris P · Jul 21, 2026

Not impressed by Railcard not working because "photo missing". I closed app, opened it again, all ok. Not good when the ticket inspector is there waiting.
