  2. v16.3.20iOSMajor
    This update bundles versions 16.2 and 16.3 — packed with new features, redesigns and important fixes.
    
    NEW FEATURES
    • Smart Voice Dictation — tap the mic on any Concern, Cause or Correction field and just talk. AI rewrites your words into clean, customer-ready text, fixes false starts and turns spoken codes into the real thing ("P zero three oh one" becomes "P0301").
    • Walkaround Dictation — circle the vehicle describing what you see; ARI splits your narration into separate concerns, or fills your inspection checklist and writes the summary for you.
    • Smart Reminder Suggestions — ARI reads a vehicle's service history and proposes the next reminders, with due dates and mileage prefilled (PRO).
    • Reminders that notice returns — a reminder marks itself Completed automatically when the customer comes back for the work.
    • Refer & Earn — invite another shop and you both get 3,000 free credits when they subscribe, with bonuses at your 3rd and 5th referrals.
    • Customer Intake Links — text a secure one-time link and customers enter their own contact and vehicle details before they arrive.
    • 360 Payments hosted payment page — clients pay on a secure page with PayPal, Venmo and digital wallets built in, plus one-tap full refunds.
    • QuickBooks sync you can finally see — plain-language error messages and an amber banner on any invoice that hasn't reached QuickBooks, with one-tap re-sync.
    • Attach files to inspections, and the OBD Scanner now works with WiFi dongles and finds Bluetooth (BLE) dongles on iPhone and iPad.
    
    IMPROVEMENTS
    • Rebuilt Email Setup — type your email address and ARI recognizes your provider, fills in the server settings and walks you through the app password your provider requires.
    • Redesigned inspection checklist, templates and editor — big Good/Fair/Poor buttons, progress bar and quick filters, built for one-handed use.
    • Short links — invoice, estimate, inspection and booking links are now ~45 characters, so a typical text fits in a single SMS.
    • Clearer Client Portal sharing page, PartsTech part positions carried over automatically, vehicle notes shown on the vehicle card, and a faster appointment calendar.
    
    FIXES
    • Inventory no longer deducts more stock than you invoiced when a record is saved more than once.
    • Odometer readings no longer vanish from saved invoices and estimates.
    • Older invoices no longer open with parts missing — and can no longer save a shrunken total.
    • Client approvals and signatures are no longer overwritten by a later save from the app.
    • Photo-heavy invoices now email reliably, with PDFs up to 10x smaller — and PDFs made on the web no longer cut off after the first photo.
    • The Refund button on PayPal payments works, Square POS handoff on Android is fixed, appointment confirmations only send after a successful save, records restored from the Recycle Bin keep their dates, and many more fixes throughout.
