Walgreens is following the mobile apps trend with a new app for most of the major platforms (iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. Sorry WP7!) that allows users to renew prescriptions by taking a photo of the barcode on a pill bottle using a smartphone, or by just keying in the prescription code.
Other abilities of the app:
Express Refills by Scan
Capture a prescription bar code from your phone and we’ll have your refill ready to pick up.
Pharmacy
Refill prescriptions from your account history or simply by entering your prescription number. Get a text alert when your prescription is ready for pickup.

Order prints directly from your iPhone® or AndroidTM mobile phone.

Shopping List (iPhone® only)
