16.4.3
2026-09-23
What's New in 16.4.3
• Favorites no longer sticks when you scroll, and tapping a tag actually does something now.
• Favorites got the feed's header, and your tags show their color.
• Nearby is a slider now, so you can pick 30, 35, 40 or 45 miles instead of jumping from 25 to 50.
• The "Server temporarily unavailable" banner no longer shows up out of nowhere.
• Talk to Ask: tap the waveform, say what you want, and it answers out loud.
• Ask can set any filter or sort in the app, down to a single terpene, and can send us a report if something looks off.
• The whole app follows your state: enter a zip anywhere or switch back to GPS and your stores, brands, map and filters move with you.
• Every zip you've used is a one-tap chip in Settings and in Nearby.
• A watchlist keeps the state you built it in.
• Store, brand and strain lists only show what's sold in your state.
• Maine has its own regions in the store picker, like Greater Portland and Midcoast.
• Item counts update the instant you change a filter.
• The Store, Brand and Strain pickers show how many match your filters, like 176 of 189.
• The price slider follows the size you picked, so 3.5g shows the 3.5g price spread.
• Product pages show strain and category coins and mark prices that come from a medical menu.
• The alerts inbox sorts by Price, Stock and New, with older alerts grouped by day.
• On a watchlist pinned to a zip, drive times start from that zip.
• Store license links open reliably, including a few New Jersey medical licenses that used to fail.
• Not in New Jersey or Maine yet? Turn on a launch alert and we'll tell you when your state goes live.
• New here? Tell Ask what you're shopping for and your first feed is built around it.
16.4.0
2026-09-04
BudWatcher 16.4 is our biggest update yet. Here's what's new:
• Ask BudWatcher (Pro): say what you want in plain words and it finds the products, sets your feed, and can save watchlists, star brands, mute brands and set alerts for you.
• Watchlists: your feed and watchlists now live in one place. Save any filters as a watchlist, share it with a link that opens straight in the app, and set alerts per list for price drops, restocks, new drops and fresh batches.
• Popular sort: see what shoppers are looking at most. Best Value now shows exact per-unit prices.
• Keyword search: type in the Strains sheet and results update as you type.
• New categories: Pre-rolls split into Joints, Infused Joints and Blunts. Kief gets its own category.
• Mute brands from any product card, for a month or forever.
• Product pages: strain type, a medical badge, batch dates with a Reported badge when they come from the label, and a true 14-day price history.
• Redesigned Settings: pick your default feed, layout and location in one place.
• iPad: a real sidebar and full watchlist support.
Questions or ideas? Tap Support in the menu and we'll reply in the app.

- 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.
