Some might think: What if the smartphone battery runs out? Not to worry: the company informs that "if a passenger has already checked in and downloaded their boarding pass and their smartphone runs out or is lost, Will receive free assistance at the airport". To avoid confusion, it is good to specify one thing: the low-cost company led by Michael O'Leary will, of course, accept paper tickets, as long as they are printed at home.
