Deerfield, IL—Walgreens announced the latest updates to its iPhone mobile app that allows users to create photo cards with special themes such as thank you, holidays, announcements and invitations. Unique collages also can be created directly from an iPhone.
Walgreens is the first retailer to provide the ability to create collage prints using a mobile device and pick them up in about an hour. Photos for these creations can be uploaded from the user’s phone, Facebook or Instagram albums.
“We’re pleased to provide more creative capabilities to our users as we continue to enhance the photo functionality within our mobile app,” said Jasbir Patel, divisional vice president, Daily Living, Photo and Omni-channel, Walgreens. “Consumers are accustomed to using their mobile devices in nontraditional ways, and Walgreens gives them easy access to products and services, wherever and whenever they choose.”
For customers on the go, the updated app lets users easily search for Walgreens or Duane Reade stores based on factors such as 24-hour locations, drive-thru pharmacies and Healthcare Clinics at select Walgreens. Additionally, the app provides improved virtual floor maps allowing for easier access to products and a better in-store experience. walgreens.com
