Railcard - Latest Quality Issues

Is it deliberately slow, error-prone, and flaky to renew in order to get one full priced fare out of the users when they realise it has lapsed at the last moment before buying?

Bought 3 year railcard jan 2020 and wasn’t allowed extension
Fobbed off continually, I was not allowed an extension though not able to use my 3 year railcard for substantial periods during 20-23 As well as during Covid, multiple strikes meant I had to use national express bus services into london instead, eg 14th Dec 2022. When I asked about this I was continually fobbed off. Disgraceful service.

3 Railcards
Ive ended up with three railcards having tried to renew my last one. Popping up devices asking for 20% off before you've completed. Acceptance code not actually working immediately. . Very confusing and now be got to try and get my money back ??

Renewal problem
I renewed my railcard, but it did not download into my phone. I didn't realise, and have been fined £73, even though I could show on my phone that payment had been made and I had bought a railcard that was valid up to February 2025!

Doesn't Support Apple Wallet
Rubbish app that doesn't work when you need it too! No Apple Wallet support is a massive drawback. Completely pointless.
