I agree, but I thought the way the original question was phrased was a
bit confrontational as well. Instead of saying "Okay, want to give some
pointers? When I launch the app, VoiceOver reads absolutely nothing, so
how is that accessible?" If you want some accessibility tips, just ask
for them, don't challenge the person who's saying it's accessible. Of
course this tip could have been included from the beginning, but there's
no point in making it worse, and sometimes people just forget about work
arounds they used to get something working.

When you first open the Walgreens app the screen comes up. I don't
know what it is. But there is a button on there that you double tap.
I don't think you even have to find it. You just double tap it and
the app becomes accessible. The app is completely accessible.
Although I don't like the layout of it Sometimes. But it does work.
Honestly. I don't mean to be mean either. But sometimes you people
just need to explore a little bit.

Hmmm, not to be contrary with anybody else on this list, but I’ve
found the Walgreen’s app sufficiently accessible to enable me to:
- use the “Refill Prescription” feature reasonably effectively –
scanning the bar code is a bit challenging but not impossible by
any means
- searching through weekly specials is fine
- locating a “store” is very usable
- the coupon feature is a bit dicey because I suppose it’s only a
picture of coupons
Is it 100% accessible? No.
Does it take some practice to use some of the accessible features
efficiently? Certainly!
Is it an app I enjoy using and can accomplish given tasks? Absolutely!
Is it pricey? Not at all – it is free.
Would I recommend it to other totally blind iPhone users? That is
exactly what I’m doing here!
One pointer on using the “Refill” feature; the bar code is
typically on the right side of the label, but you need to turn the
bottle on its’ side to scan it correctly because that bar code is
positioned sideways on the right side of the script label. And
some items – those that come in boxes rather than those plastic
bottles – present a bit more of a challenge. Just remember that
the bar code is positioned sideways on the right of the script
label and you should be able to locate and scan it.
One thing, if you don’t get it right (scanning the bar code that
is) the app immediately informs you of an invalid script number.
And if you get some wrong number, unless it just happens to be a
script number belonging to you it will not process.
Personally, I wouldn’t be without the Walgreen’s app, it’s much
more convenient than having to look up a script number and call it
in. And, yes, I am totally blind so cannot use any residual sight
to help me use this app.
