According to the release, the new app, which is a successor to the CVS Pharmacy app, will allow shoppers to manage prescriptions, schedule immunizations and expedite checkout. But the most-talked-about option, currently being tested in a handful of stores, is the ability to open locked display cabinets for easier access to merchandise.

The company is testing the feature in a few stores to address a customer pain point that has come to the fore as retailers attempt to thwart thieves.

One of the new features included in the app, is the ability for customers to unlock merchandise locked up on shelves in stores, which previously required employee assistance.

Instead of waiting for an employee to take pity on you and unlock the cabinets in the deodorant aisle, you may soon have another way to access the locked-up shampoo and ibuprofen you seek.

CVS is testing new functionality on their CVS Health app that allows users to unlock those annoying plexiglass cabinets.
