### 1/5 — Says Update Needed To Use But No Update Available

*2026-08-30, version 25.7.41*

Stuck in a circle between app needing update and none showing up. Can get to my prescriptions without the update.

### 1/5 — Get's Worse With Each Update

*2026-08-30, version 25.7.41*

Isn't it supposed to be better when better when the apps are updated?   Are the app updates tested before they are posted?  They really are terrible.

### 2/5 — Glitching

*2026-08-30, version 25.7.41*

App is glitching it tells me to update to use but then when I go to the App Store there are no updates and I can’t even do anything until I get rid of that text

### 5/5 — Enjoy this App

*2026-08-29, version 25.7.41*

I have been using this app for many years!
I like checking for sales and my rewards before heading to the actual store every week!

### 1/5 — Displeased

*2026-08-28, version 25.7.41*

I’ve been a loyal customer for 50 years. For a few months now, I have NOT been receiving any emails from CVS on Thursdays which offer discounts (example: 35% off one item). I have asked several times to be reinstated, every time to no avail. If you people do not resume my emails and discounts, I will NEVER shop at CVS again! I am extremely displeased!

### 1/5 — App won’t open on iPad

*2026-08-28, version 25.7.41*

I have tried to open the app multiple times and multiple ways, and the app continually prompts me to update it. I have deleted and re-installed the most recent app several times, but it is locked in an endless loop with the update prompt, making it unusable.

### 1/5 — App update

*2026-08-27, version 25.7.41*

No me deja abrir el app.  Me dice updated, lo hago, y sigue  igual.  No está funcionando.

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-08-26, version 25.7.41*

App will not update absolutely useless

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-08-26, version 25.7.41*

CVS wants me to update but when I try, it says not able to at this time, this has been going on for months

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2026-08-26, version 25.7.41*

It doesn’t work properly. Programmers need to examine each step.
