What's New in My Big Year
2.0
April 21, 2026
This update adds a built-in Explore bird guide with around 187 common UK birds, habitat and type grouping, and UK seasonality details. Birding is now organised around sites and sessions, making it easier to start a session, log species as you see them, and review them later. Bird entry, maps, backup, and in-app guidance have also been improved.
