What's new in v16.3.9
- A bug in the alerts system was fixed that caused the nearby filter to be ignored, resulting in users getting watchlist alerts from any distance away.
- The "Browse" section automatically saves your filter settings until you change them again for Budwatcher Pro subscribers.
- Smarter strain search that handles typos, and one-tap filtering to a region like South Jersey.
- Cleaner feed cards that lead with what you sorted by and show how many stores carry each product.
- Faster and more stable, including launch and filter crash fixes and a fix for the iOS 18 picker freeze.
- The nearby filter shows a new option to anchor to zip if you prefer that over location-based.
- Customer support chat added for BudWatcher Pro subscribers, no email or phone required.
- The watchlists tabs have been consolidated into a single tab w/ search. Helps when you have a large number of watchlists saved.
