Missing species and inaccuracies

I was very disappointed in this app. For example the deer Colorado, Colorado has an abundant population of mule deer, only the white tailed deer listed as deers of Colorado. I looked up other areas to find similar discrepancies regarding other species. Very disappointing

Don't buy it bad
