Can I book tickets with the National Rail app?

I might be missing something really obvious, but can you buy tickets using the app? I can't see where the option is. For example -

I open the app
click Planner
find a train from Liverpool Central to Euston on 16th January (one way)

There is one at 12:21 costing £42, but I can't work out how to book it. If I click on it I just get details of the trip, there is no Book Now button or similar. Is it there somewhere, or do I need to go to the train company website directly?

 No you can not book from the App , you can book directly with operator

I don't believe National Rail have ever sold tickets themselves. 

Personally I use Trainline app to check train times but LNER, Uber or Trainsplit apps to buy train tickets.

This is what confused me. On the website it gives prices and a direct link to the journey on the train operator website, but it doesn't on the app.

When you get the results, there's a yellow button marked "tickets" in the top right hand corner
