Quotes

"Ever since starting Wikileaf, we were committed to making regular upgrades to the app, but today, we are announcing a full reboot. As a user of the Wikileaf app myself, I am truly excited about our v.6 launch and believe cannabis consumers will see real improvements to their user experience. Version 6 gives us an opportunity to show we continue to evolve, that we are listening to our growing customer and partner base, and that we are committed to being the leading cannabis price comparison website in North America.”

“With this update, Wikileaf remains committed to its roots. We continue to aspire to be the place cannabis consumers come to find and interact with local dispensaries and brands, and to learn about and find the best prices for their desired cannabis strains and products. But we also want to do more; we want to be a trusted source of information for both cannabis consumers and our partners. And we are seeing an added advantage for our partners, with millions of inquiries on our platform that are tied to specific geographical locations, we are able to provide an understanding of local customer habits trends that will help inform their inventory purchasing, product stocking and strain, and cultivation decisions, which in turn will help them better serve consumers.”
