- [R1] Walgreens Only orders one prescription out of three: I ordered three prescriptions and at checkout it only listed the last one entered
- [R14] Walgreens Transfer was easy!: I’m visiting from out of town and this transfer was quick and easy!
- [R18] Walgreens Incorrect information: On way too many occasions I put in an order for a script that showed more refills and was told by the pharmacy there were no more refills left.
- [R23] Walgreens PHOTO LAB: I love Walgreen’s photo lab! With the Walgreen’s app on my phone it is so easy to download photos from my camera roll and run in and get prints the same day at my Walgreens store in town for our church bulletin!
- [R10] Walgreens Hid Coupons After Update: They used to show you coupons right in the prescription ready for pickup UI but now they hide the coupons behind a separate search screen.
- [R30] Walgreens Check out page is horrible: I am unable to place the order with the combination of Walgreens gift card and my own credit card actually app has provision but it is not working
- [R42] Walgreens Annoying: I wanted to buy 4 packs of adult diapers for my mom, 2 to be picked up and 2 to be shipped to her care home, but the app wouldn’t let me combine how the same item was to be received. To get the best promotional prices you have to make bigger purchases, so I had to have all 4 shipped. That’s more expensive for Walgreens than letting me pick 2 of them up, so you’d think they’d fix this iss
- [R67] Bath & Body Works | B&BW Gift cards can not add: Since this update gift cards can not as to the app, very frustating, and the ones that were added before update disappers from the app
- [R3] Walgreens Behind the times: I am so disappointed with the Walgreens App. It is hard to maneuver and every time I go in it I have to answer the same questions. I have to sign up again like I never did before. I updated my address and I am pretty sure with my next prescription. It will still show my old one. Because of my insurance, I cannot change pharmacies without paying a higher price.
- [R4] Walgreens Awful app: Always having problems with Walgreens app.
- [R9] Walgreens Kept going back & not saving info: Frequent frustration with the app
- [R13] Walgreens App crashes a lot: Very disappointed to be able to refill prescription
- [R6] Walgreens Unhappy: I find it frustrating that I can no longer get prescriptions filled that day or the next day, but instead, have to wait a few days for it to be filled off-site. Tried to get a blood pressure prescription filled just now, it’s Friday, and it won’t be ready until Monday. What gives??
- [R16] Walgreens Anyomus: Most horrible pharmacy in Lumberton North Carolina!!! I had a script since 06/15/26 and to date I still don’t have it!!!! People seriously think twice on Walgreens!!!!
- [R34] Walgreens Never have medicine available: Been waiting for three weeks for Walgreens to fill my prescription. Maybe I need to look for another pharmacy.
- [R43] Walgreens Backorders constantly for multiple Rx: After 2 in-person attempts to order 3 medications and over 45 minute wait two days on the phone without an answer, my last prescription order is once again MIA. Don't go here. People are so nice but can't help with any answers or resolutions. I've been without one mental health medication for 12 days. This is not acceptable.
- [R2] Walgreens Pharmacy phone: The pharmacy associates are great but trying to get through on the phone is so inconvenient and aggravating.
- [R5] Walgreens Review: My pharmacists and their assistants are always polite and friendly and helpful with my questions and my prescriptions from my doctors their at my location on Nebraska been with them for many many years and gives me updates when I can pick up when scripts are ready
- [R33] Walgreens I love Walgreens but only online: Every time I go into any Walgreens no matter the area, the customer service is displeasing. So I go online to make my purchases every time.
- [R35] Walgreens Love Walgreens: I have been going to Walgreen’s for many Years! All the Departments are Wonderful,Very Helpful & Friendly
- [R12] Walgreens Not happy: You guys changing the app & if you have multiple refills, it doesn’t let you change it to the one that is EXPIRING SOON!!! SO THEREFORE I LOOSE THEM AND HAVE TO GO GET ANOTHER DAMN REFILL & PAY FOR THE APPOINTMENT… IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!! NOT EVERYONE HAS A MILLION DOLLARS LIKE YOUR CEO!!!
- [R66] Bath & Body Works | B&BW Can never just pick it up at the store: Every time I order something online, and I wanna pick it up at the store everything is unavailable to pick up at the store, but when I go to the store the same exact thing that I ordered is there. And if the items aren’t at the store, I shouldn’t have to pay extra money for shipping when you all can just ship the products to the nearest store and I can go pi
- [R90] Bath & Body Works | B&BW Stop defaulting to shipping!: I love being able to put in an order and hit my local store to pick it up. But this app drives me crazy - if I click to SHOP IN STORE at the beginning, it should STAY that way. But no, you automatically default to shipping for every single item. I think that’s really shady because you’re hoping your customers won’t notice and checkout before they see the shipping fees
- [R96] Bath & Body Works | B&BW Bugs and issues: Store pickup is broken and store locator doesn’t work either.
- [R63] Bath & Body Works | B&BW App keeps logging me out: I keep getting logged out of my account or my account says it needs refreshed everytime I open it. Cannot get into my account.
- [R64] Bath & Body Works | B&BW App Won’t Let Me Log In: I can log in on the website perfectly fine, on both my phone and desktop. The app itself will not log me in. I don’t even get an error message, it just goes right back to the login page. I’ve been trying on and off for a month and it won’t work. My phone is up to date, and I have deleted and redownloaded the app several times with no luck. Sucks because I’ve heard there ar
- [R75] Bath & Body Works | B&BW Error on login: Last cell phone update does not allow a login - says Error but Logon to website works just fine.
- [R79] Bath & Body Works | B&BW APP NOT WORKING: I haven’t been able to login to the app or use any of my rewards. Tried chatting with the help desk and they were useless. Telling me to reset my password over and over. Ridiculous! I am able to login online but my reward won’t work.
- [R7] Walgreens Prints of photos: The app needs improvement. It keeps a lot of the photos you e already made as a print checked. It crops pictures differently than what is shown. It cuts people off. It’s difficult to use. It needs some tech savvy person to come in and make necessary improvements.
- [R29] Walgreens Thank you!: Theater camp was terrific but to give each child a picture of their experience in the play is super!! Thank you for printing the pictures so quickly!!
- [R49] Walgreens phot ap: The photo app is actually archaic and needs to be updated
