The ticket machine needed a paper copy as it tried the charge my phone wallet every time I presented it. Your app didn't allow the pdf to be printed as per the instructions.

It was very useful to have train tickets in advance as saved time and we needed them to dump our luggage at the station before exploring Amsterdam. My only criticism is that they were only supplied online and this made it difficult to share as you need a ticket each to get through the barriers. I managed to print but had to cut and stick together! Or you can use screenshots....

Once we found out how things worked it was great. The problem for us is, there's no physical person to speak with to help you out. Thankfully, the other travellers and locals were brilliant.
