Always problem with loading digital version

Data black spots, poor quality wifi, an app that unloads itself make for an embarrassing, stressful and potentially expensive experience EVERY time I am challenged to show my digital rail card. There is no recognition of the above issues when pounced on, and the threats of charges for non-payment of fares is a disgrace.
