A minor Trainsplit query

Has anyone found a way to get the Trainsplit mobile app let you book multiple journeys in the same transaction?

The other day I wanted to book advance tickets for a return journey, but travelling outbound to one station and returning a few days later from a different (nearby) station. I had to book this in two separate transactions, one for each leg. Not the end of the world but I did find it a bit irritating and I probably cost Trainsplit slightly more than I needed to in card transaction fees as well.

The app does seem to have some notion of a 'basket'. It appears if you select a ticket, but close the app before completing the transaction. But I can't work out how to start a new search without erasing it. So maybe the feature just doesn't exist? Or maybe I am missing something?

Neither of the apps support booking multiple journeys in a basket feature today. This is currently only available through the website.

The primary use case prior to recently was for journeys with mixed combinations of Railcards, but that is no longer an issue since a few weeks ago.

The only platform-native ticketing app (not just a website inside an app) I'm aware of with any basket functionality is TfW's.

At least that narrows it down to Android! ;)
