As for ticket inspectors, last time I saw one was on the Angel pre-StreetDecks, I think I was at College so it must have been ~2016. Before that I would see them regularly on the 10 when I would go to the Metrocentre after school.
And I've had the same issues with mobile tickets. I had them when I was travelling thornley to spenny and back, twice a day, for a few months, and had a couple of failures. I ended up having to buy a ticket for one of those because it was the morning and I would be travelling again (did get a refund) but the driver took pity, the other time and let me on. Both times, I had to reinstall the app to recover the ticket.
