As crew we have to check the date, flight number and that it has the square barcode as opposed to the long barcode found on a printed boarding pass.
I get that. What I don't understand is why it can't be a screenshot of the mobile BP (and why crew sometimes insist on taking your phone and swiping it to prove this). I can't see how a screenshot of a mobile bp is any different to a pyobp.

It's much quicker to access a photo than the app.
