  1. [R3] Walgreens 3/5 · US 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.
  2. [R4] Walgreens 1/5 · US Awful app: Always having problems with Walgreens app.
  3. [R7] Walgreens 1/5 · US 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.
  4. [R9] Walgreens 3/5 · US Kept going back & not saving info: Frequent frustration with the app
  5. [R1] Walgreens 2/5 · US Only orders one prescription out of three: I ordered three prescriptions and at checkout it only listed the last one entered
  6. [R2] Walgreens 5/5 · US Pharmacy phone: The pharmacy associates are great but trying to get through on the phone is so inconvenient and aggravating.
  7. [R5] Walgreens 5/5 · US 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
  8. [R6] Walgreens 3/5 · US 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??
  9. [R8] Walgreens 5/5 · US Walgreens order: Thank you Walgreens’s so much. This was one of my easiest orders. I can’t be thankful enough to such a great company.
  10. [R23] Walgreens 5/5 · US 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!
  11. [R27] Walgreens 3/5 · US Inconsistent Stores but Good App: The Walgreens App is good. Very helpful. In theory , it can be used to order and pick up meds at other stores when away from home and buy other necessities in the same trip. That’s really nice for people who travel a lot. EXCEPT that the execution at the Store level is so inconsistent and frankly sucks in most places. The pharmacy on 1st Ave & 57th in Manhattan is
  12. [R29] Walgreens 5/5 · US 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!!
  13. [R11] Walgreens 4/5 · US Insurance Updates: My one complaint is that the app won’t let you upload a picture of your insurance card. They want you to take a picture of a physical picture in a time where many companies are going paperless.
  14. [R25] Walgreens 1/5 · US Not user friendly: Not user friendly. Made me put an additional card on file which was BS. Then I could not even enter a discount code.
  15. [R30] Walgreens 3/5 · US 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
  16. [R64] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 2/5 · US D: Can’t log in to website and what is this weighing cost when I order for pickup? This was never a charge almost $10
  17. [R40] Walgreens 1/5 · US Photo Limits: Photo center won’t allow more than 20 prints for my 4x6 photos
  18. [R70] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 1/5 · US Scan and go at the pump: Can’t use the scan and go function at the pump? Used to, now have to use the separate link to scan the code at the pump. Stupid
  19. [R71] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Greatest Move By Sam's Ever: Scan and Go as well as curbside pickup are the greatest thing Sam's has ever done! Efficient, Convenient and for customers who buy a lot frequently such an Economical time saver! Thank You! Well Done!
  20. [R83] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Love scan and go.: In and out. No waiting at checkout line
  21. [R106] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Grateful: Sam’s works hard to provide our favorite brands at a great price. Cost per serving is better than buying at local grocery store. Convenience of the “Self Scan App” is by far the most convenient option for me. In & Out!
  22. [R12] Walgreens 3/5 · US 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!!!
  23. [R16] Walgreens 1/5 · US 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!!!!
  24. [R69] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 3/5 · US Reasonable to good pricing, shipping/delivered concerns: Rating generously expresses delivery of purchases. Fairly consistently orders with multiple items arrive with multiple items missing. Our porch has a small overhang where other deliveries place my orders, but Sam’s delivery has yet to place a delivery under the overhang-choosing to place the non boxed or protected items on the furtherest out
  25. [R76] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 2/5 · US Delivery: It wouldn’t let me select delivery! I was trying to get my order delivered not pick up now. I am forced to find a ride to go and pick up the order even though I wanted a delivery.
  26. [R80] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Happy Member: I’m so glad to be a club member, I finally get to take advantage of the free delivery service. Now that I’m not able to go shopping in person, this service has come in handy and so convenient. Thank you
  27. [R86] Sam's Club Shopping & Delivery 5/5 · US Awesome!!!!: Love the convenience of getting my groceries delivered 😍 a game changer for a busy person
