While I would have to say that InstaCart is an wonderfully accessible app, it
is not available except in a few major cities. If it were available in
northern Wisconsin I’d use it frequently. I was involved in helping a friend
from Austin get started with this app and she and her husband now use it all
the time. Hubby does not have a vision problem, but she is totally blind and
enjoys using InstaCart, but as I say - it isn’t available in northern Wisconsin
and maybe not even Milwaukee.
So much for my digression concerning InstaCart and now to the point - namely
the WalMart app. I use the WalMart frequently to have non-perishables shipped
to my very rural address with very little trouble. It is a bit “clumsy” to use
for a blind person, but by no means impossible. It would help me answer the
problems encountered by others if there was a bit more information in the
original message - no offense meant here.
For starters, there are five tabs at the bottom of the iPhone screen when you
launch the WalMart app:
- HOME let’s you browse the online or local store or do a specific search for
particular items, brands or categories, select item(s) and add those items to
your virtual shopping cart.
- Reorder is an extremely convenient way to add item(s) to your virtual
shopping cart that you have purchased in the past. However, there are times
when an item you know darn well you have bought in the past doesn’t appear in
the “Reorder List.” The steps to correct this is a bit complex and far too much
to discuss in an e-mail, but it is possible to search a comprehensive list of
all items you’ve ordered in the past in the ACCOUNT tab.
- SERVICES is sort of a “Catch All” routine to request or manage customer
service matters. The only option I’ve ever used in this tab is the “Lists”
services where you can place items in a shopping list that you create and
reference at a later time.
- CART is pretty much what it implies where you can review what you’ve placed
in your virtual shopping cart, adjust quantities, remove items you decide you
don’t really want after all or move such items to a “Save for Later” list.
This is the tab where checkout is initiated. This checkout procedure can be a
bit tricky if you didn’t make sure you added items to your cart in the matter
you wanted. If you want items shipped to you, you need to be sure to select
the “Ship” option in the “HOME” tab once you have opened the dialog for a
specific item and before adding it to your cart.
- ACCOUNT is the tab where you provide your information such as name, address,
e-mail address, telephone number and stored payment methods. It also provides
for searching a list of all items you’ve ever ordered online.
I will say that in order to maximize the convenience of using this app, I
suggest that you be familiar with the rotor and the use of such elements as
headers, links, form fields and the like. It makes using this app so very much
more accessible.
Also, I will be glad to answer any more specific “how to” questions on this
matter. Just send questions directly to my personal e-mail box at
