• Explore: which bugs are likely out near you right now, worked out from local iNaturalist records for this month (all years) and the time of day. Likely, never promised
• A Bug Hotel: every bug you identify checks in, and the guests wake and sleep with the real time and weather. Peeka runs the front desk
• A 181-species Field Guide and badges

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.6 — 2026-10-14

Explore, catch, collect

• Explore: a new first tab shows which bugs are likely out near you right now, from local records for this month (all years) and the time of day. Likely, never promised
• Bug Hotel: open it from the Explore header. A Right now card shows guests and who is awake, with the real time and temperature, and a guestbook lists every check-in
• Identify → check in → See the hotel: the new guest's room lights up when you arrive
• Collection: Field Guide (181 species) and Badges, side by side in one tab
• A more native feel: system font, system sheets, an icon-only tab bar with your free identifications on the Catch icon
• Japanese: the whole app, now in Japanese

### 1.1.5 — 2026-09-16

Peekabug 1.1.5 — dress up your Bug Hotel 

• Hotel skins: four buildings you can switch any time, and four more with Peeka Pro — Leaf Lodge, Mushroom Inn, Terrarium and Log Cabins
• Seasonal activity on every bug: research-grade sightings near where you found it, month by month, from the iNaturalist community
• Life cycle: complete, incomplete or none — the honest, order-level version, no made-up stage lengths
• Smarter reminders: one a day and never the same twice — what's in season near you, who's waking up in your hotel, today's riddle
• Front desk fixes and polish

### 1.1.4 — 2026-09-09

Peekabug 1.1.4 — the Bug Hotel comes alive

• New home: a sky that follows the real time and weather, and your Bug Hotel where guests wake and sleep with the clock
• Bug Brief: drag the map anywhere to see what's out this month, what's new to you and what to keep away from — your local brief and all safety guidance are always free
• Field Guide in sets: garden, pond, night shift and more, with a new riddle every day
• Daily Field Test, monthly field report and saved trips
• A new first-run tour, cleaner typography and species names in five languages
• Fixes and polish everywhere

### 1.1.3 — 2026-08-28

Peekabug 1.1.3 — Peeka learned five languages 

• Peekabug now speaks English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese — including everything Peeka tells you about a bug
• Pick yours in Settings › Language, anytime
• Peeka practised very hard. Try asking her something in Spanish.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-27

Peekabug 1.1.2 — Peeka took a photography class 
• NEW: Snap tips! Peeka now demonstrates the perfect bug photo — not too close, not too far, one bug at a time. The giant ladybug in the demo is doing her best.
• Fixed: the camera used to keep peeking after you left the scan screen. We had a talk about boundaries. It fully turns off now.
• Plus tiny gears under the hood so Peeka runs smoother and listens better.
