      My main reason for using an app for Walgreens anyway is so I don’t have to log in each time. When I go to refill my prescriptions, I’m usually in a hurry and just want to do it and move on. Refill usually takes maybe 4-5 clicks? And often less than 2-3 minutes.

      Whereas on the website, between logging in and finding the medications, it’s a much more involved process and I often need to use a computer to navigate it.

      Oddly enough the CVS mobile website is pretty streamlined so I often don’t need the app for it. And their mobile site supports passkeys whereas Walgreens doesn’t.
