What's new in v16.3.8
A bunch of updates in this release:
• The classic List view is back: pick Cards or List per watchlist, with a one-tap toggle in the dock
• Now supports iOS 18 and newer, so older iPhones are welcome back
• Choose how dispensary menus open: our built-in browser with tabs and preorder autofill, or Safari, Chrome, and DuckDuckGo

• Select unlimited brands in the brand filter (previously capped at 50)
• Cleaner filter bar with easier sorting and a one-tap way to save your filters as a watchlist
• Plus dozens of fixes and visual refinements throughout
