About
Flyway Birding helps you decide where to go, what to chase, and which birds matter most right now.
Built for active birders, Flyway combines live eBird sightings with your own birding history for a faster, more personal field companion. See birds reported near you, spot notable sightings, explore hotspots, track your target species, save favorite places and routes, and check current reports against the birds you still need.
With a My eBird CSV import, Flyway turns your own eBird history into on-device list context — so you can tell at a glance whether a bird is new for you, useful for a region, or worth changing plans for.

1.2

New in this version: • A short guided tour now walks you through the Today screen the first time you open the app. Replay it any time from Settings. • Trip Mode is reachable again from Saved — group checklists into multi-day trips with shared targets. • Fixed the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy links, which pointed at a domain that no longer served them. • Corrected the distance unit label in Settings, and a handful of smaller fixes.
