Great Application But…

I Love this app don’t get me wrong but there are some spelling errors
And incorrect info like for example the wild grape vine does live in West Virginia so as chinaberry

Medicine heart attack stroke

I’d like to see content on heart attacks and strokes added into the medical area due to the sudden increase in deaths related to the Covid 19 vaccine.

Excellent Survival App

I have several survival apps in my collection. This app gets into more subjects more than the others.

Survival

great app with tons of life saving and survival information. As a former 5th Special Forces Operator in Viet Nam, this app is more than sufficient for any novice on lightly trained hunter, hiker, explorer or anyone that may be lost or chased.
