### 2/5 — Picta Charge

*2026-08-31, version 3.26.11*

Picta is not a part of CVS and 50% of your charge is for Picta.  Picta is using CVS on their app which is misleading.  Use the CVS Health app and that is solely CVS.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2026-06-19, version 3.26.10*

I ordered over 100 photos thinking I was ordering from CVS.  They are not CVS and charge double what CVS charges!!! Just use the CVS APP!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Wanted FULL ACCESS to ALL PHOTOS at install

*2026-09-07, version 3.26.11*

Says only photos PRINTED get uploaded; duh, it’s not a storage service. All other photo printing apps do limited access & respect your privacy. Picta x CVS Photo will not open unless you grant the app FULL ACCESS TO ALL PHOTOS when you install it.

### 1/5 — Total Scam DON’T USE

*2026-09-01, version 3.26.11*

This isn’t the actual CVS photo app this is a scam. They up charge you for using this app. I paid on the app then had to pay in person. I can’t believe it’s allowed in the App Store. Only use the CVS health app for anything CVS related.

### 1/5 — App and Order issues

*2026-09-01, version 3.26.11*

CVS always seems to cancel my order half the time from the store. Not only this, but the app itself does not load up half the time either! A pain to get photos printed through CVS

### 1/5 — DO NOT RECOMMEND

*2026-08-23, version 3.26.11*

Makes you apply a down payment then doesn’t load & finish your order. Took $40 and wants me to repay. Do not recommend. Scam!

### 1/5 — Don’t Bother

*2026-08-19, version 3.26.11*

My local CVS won’t even bother to print your order. Over a day later and no photos. Just go in store and do it that way. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — 3rd party scam alert!

*2026-08-02, version 3.26.11*

I have used this app only twice. I paid for a photo order that was never sent to CVS, though my money was still taken. I attempted to contact Picta for a refund after my local CVS encouraged me to contact them since there was nothing they could do in their end to fix it (they even strongly encouraged I don’t use them again because I’m not the only person this has happened to!). Picta makes it difficult to contact them— no email, no number, only messaging on the app. They never got back to me after 3 attempts. Had to contest my purchase with my bank to resolve this. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM JUST USE THE CVS APP or WEBSITE!

### 1/5 — More expensive & demands full photo access

*2026-07-23, version 3.26.10*

Simply use the CVS mobile app. This one is more expensive, doesn’t offer the same CVS promo offers, and repeatedly demands full camera roll access.

### 1/5 — Picture

*2026-07-20, version 3.26.10*

It’s to hard to use this app and it’s expensive

### 1/5 — The app don’t work

*2026-07-17, version 3.26.10*

Download the app and it dint work

### 1/5 — TRIPLE CHECK THAT THE ORDER IS PLACED

*2026-07-01, version 3.26.10*

Ordered photos hours ago. Paid for it with Apple Pay and showed up at the store after a few hours and they said there was no order placed. Checked the app again and it still shows them in my cart. Super bummed because I needed them at a particular time.
