Don't the phone and the PC reference the same information?
I know it's shameful but I do most of my work on the PC and little on
the phone. Please don't hate me.
But today, I'm trying to pick up a prescription that isn't ready yet and
it's my 3rd errand and when I finish the 2nd I want to check if it's
ready before I drive miles out of my way.
SO, I installed the Walgreens app and checked if it was ready, and when
I get to the last screen where the answer should be, it says "Sorry an unexpected error. Try again later".
Meanwhile the PC knew the answer a couple minutes before, and still
knows it when I reload the page right after the phone doesn't. And the
phone still doesn't know the answer right after the PC did, again.
I would expect the phone and the PC to be different front-ends but both
go to the same cmputer for the answer. Isn't that the way things are
done?
The phone app for Walgreens worked in most other ways, retrieving past prescriptions etc, chores that required communication with the main
computer.
How can it be that it doesn't know if the prescription is still in
progress or ready to be picked up, when the PC knows?

Apps are way too often not reliable.
Use the web browser on your phone,
go to walgreens.com, and log into your account. After logging in, use
the Account -> Prescription Refills & Status navpath to check on
refills.
Some refills may require a doctor's okay, so you may see some meds are
ready for pickup, but others are awaiting the doctor's okay.
Doesn't Walgreens send you e-mails to notify you when meds or orders are >ready for pickup? They do for me. Login, go to Account -> Your
Account, Emails & Alerts, and enable e-mail alerts for when your meds
are ready for pickup. They even send an e-mail alert on a delayed med >awaiting doctor's okay, so, for that one, wait until later when they
send you an e-mail saying the delayed med is now ready for pickup.
If you have an e-mail app on your phone configured to poll your e-mail >account, you can get the alerts there in addition to on your home PC.
