The CVS Health app streamlines pharmacy management and retail savings for CVS customers. It integrates prescription refills, ExtraCare rewards, and digital coupons into a unified mobile experience for health-conscious shoppers.

Detailed Review

The CVS Health app serves as a digital companion for customers of the pharmacy retail chain, combining prescription management, loyalty rewards, and shopping functionality into a single platform. Its primary value proposition lies in consolidating health-related tasks and retail savings that traditionally required separate physical cards, paper coupons, and pharmacy visits. The app's core functionality centers around three key areas: prescription management, ExtraCare integration, and in-store convenience features. Users can refill prescriptions, manage family medication lists, receive refill alerts, and access prescription histories. The ExtraCare integration automatically applies saved coupons and rewards during checkout via a single scannable barcode. Additional features include access to weekly ads, medication reminders, and vaccine scheduling capabilities. User experience demonstrates thoughtful design with intuitive tab-based navigation separating pharmacy, store, and account functions. The interface employs CVS's signature red branding with clear typography and logical workflow patterns. Real-world usage shows particular strength during in-store visits where the integrated barcode scanner eliminates fumbling for physical cards. However, some users note visual accessibility limitations, with multiple reviewers requesting dark mode functionality for light sensitivity concerns. User feedback trends toward positive experiences with prescription management and savings features. Reviewer C~Pooh Sargent (August 31, 2025) specifically requested dark mode implementation, noting 'it's hard on the eyes to look at an all white bright screen' for migraine sufferers. FreeAdviceSoldHere (September 1, 2025) praised convenience while suggesting clearer pharmacy location distinctions. Multiple reviews highlight family prescription management as particularly valuable, with onethickbit (August 2, 2025) noting how 'very easy [it is] to check on all your prescriptions and ones for your family.' The app demonstrates strongest performance for regular CVS customers who manage ongoing prescriptions and seek to maximize savings through the ExtraCare program. Limitations include dependency on individual store implementation quality and occasional feature gaps like dark mode. It represents one of the more fully-featured pharmacy apps available, though its value diminishes significantly for users without CVS prescriptions or regular shopping patterns.

I just wrote this terrific review and I don’t think it was delivered to you. So here goes again but shorter for 41 years we have trusted the pharmacy with ALL our meds . The store manager I always forget her name but has lots of tattoos is awesome angering kids and the older woman who run the register are the best and should be honored with recognition. I don’t care if the store is never remodeled but please honor the most committed pharmacy and store people because they deserve it . If I ever have or had a problem it is ALWAYS resolved ! Come on Woonsocket give these workers some recognition! Pleasant Street CVS I just wrote this terrific review and I don’t think it was delivered to you.

This has been my go-to way to manage my CVS prescriptions for years. I was very excited by the addition of the financial summary which shows how much you’ve spent YTD. But…there doesn’t appear to be any way to export this data for tax purposes. Please consider adding this feature. It will be most helpful for folks like me who are able to claim medical expenses. Thanks! Love the latest improvement but… This has been my go-to way to manage my CVS prescriptions for years.

The lack of handicapped parking and carts is difficult if you have any problems. I never thought that I would write anything negative about CVS Pharmacy because everyone who works there is nice. I’m having breathing problems and need to pick up Prednisone but the 2 handicapped spaces were taken and there was no spaces (even halfway decent) that I could park in . I know that there generally isn’t a problem picking up my steroids but after circling 10 minuetes, it wasn’t my day. I then went into deliver prescriptions at home…but the first thing that came up was a prescription that I couldn’t have delivered. It then took another 30 minutes for me to get the 3 normal prescriptions to be delivered. The reason I mentioned they need more carts is that since the pharmacy is about as far as possible from the entrance…I need help of some kind to get to the pharmacist. I don’t think you want me collapsing in the store…but that’s how I feel when I walk in and can’t walk to the pharmacy.o. Again, Armin and everyone who works in the pharmacy are wonderful.

The app is great. The store is the absolute worst at getting things right and a lady by the name of Katherine was so rude and condescending to me yesterday I am thinking of changing store after 25 years.

I really like the CVS Health app. It is very convenient and user friendly. However, I think one addition would reduce a lot of customer frustration: When one chooses a CVS pharmacy location for prescription medication service, the app should tell the person upfront if they’ve chosen a CVS pharmacy that is closed / not open on holidays. Not all CVS pharmacy locations are open on holidays, and I found this out at a VERY bad time. Some people take medications so critically important, if they don’t have them, they could die. I’m honestly not trying to over exaggerate or cause alarm, I just think it’s important to clearly inform people when they choose a CVS pharmacy location that’s closed on holidays.
