BudWatcher now covers New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Delaware. - The map follows you. Pick a zip in Nearby or Settings and the map moves there. A watchlist pinned to a zip opens on that zip, not on your phone. - Search by region or county in the store picker in every state we cover. - Store licenses name the right regulator for every state. - The product page no longer says "Batch Unknown" for products whose batch date shows in the feed. - Support chat photos upload faster and use less data. - Fixed the "Save this as a watchlist" tip that could get stuck at the top of the screen. - Fixed a brief "BudWatcher isn't in your state yet" message some Maryland users saw during setup.

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.

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. - The watchlists tabs have been consolidated into a single tab w/ search. Helps when you have a large number of watchlists saved.
