IIRC this does not work in the tunnel, so I should have the app opened in NYP before boarding NJT.

I downloaded this app and am intending to use it for my NJT trips. IIRC when I board the airtrain at Newark airport to go to the NJT newark airport station with the ultimate destination of NYP, I must buy a ticket before boarding the airtran so I can show it to get on the airtran. I am assuming that I just show my phone to the agent and we will be allowed through the gate.

I'm assuming you are using NJ Transit from EWR Airport to NYP using the MyTix app. If so, purchase your NJT ticket from Newark Airport to New York Penn using the app anytime. When you are ready to head from the airport to NYP, activate your ticket. At the EWR Airport rail station (end of then monorail ride), scan the activated ticket barcode on your phone at the faregate to pass through to the rail station. The phone app barcode will release the gate.
The following decidedly amateur video shows the process at Secaucus (same gates as the EWR rail station). Head to the 2:00 mark. You pull up your activated ticket. Tap the QR code to enlarge it. Then hold it on the scanner at the faregate to release the gate.

Another question about using the app. Is it possible to buy tickets for 2 pax?
Yes. Buy two tickets on the app. Then, if two are traveling together, activate both tickets. Your screen will show two passengers.

Metro North did test an app for a bit, but so far they haven't rolled anything out for all to use.
Take care and take trains!

Metro North has indicated their app ticketing will go live within six months.
Paper tickets are soooo 20th century!
