Onboarding in loop, can’t access app.

ArmanJava

It kept putting me in an endless onboarding loop asking the same survey question on ethnicity but never letting me access the app. Horrible.


I would like

I would like for more people on this site to add their family surnames. It would be easier to ask questions? Most of the young folks don’t know any family history.


Meh

The app lags, and it’s really complicated to use in comparison to another DNA test/app I’ve taken. I tested here because I wanted haplogroup and to see if there was more info on my indigenous ancestry from Mexico as well as my African ancestry. The data wasn’t anything exciting but the app was able to match me to two of my half-sisters that I knew of, though it was nice to have the dna confirmation. I just really feel like this app is not user friendly. I have a hard time navigating. I messaged someone earlier and now I can’t find my messages. So I’m sure I’ll have to go back to Google to find them. Clicking on dna relatives takes a really long time to load — I think I have like 5000 though so that may be it. I don’t know. I just wish the tree was easier to look at and the menus for navigating were less difficult.


So inaccurate

AppointedByGod

All my ancestry results were wrong…. My traits … my relatives … everything…. I can actually trace my family and where we come from and 23 and me was 100 % wrong. My results were as far fetched as telling someone from India they are not Indian but all their family is from Ireland… or telling someone from Ireland their parents , grandparents and great grandparents are all from west Africa… when I questioned a supervisor about my results they were not accountable, and had no logical explanation, I honestly believe 23 and me is a scam. It has a rating of 1 at the bbb better business bureau, and I wish I checked this before using. I do not recommend!! Save your money!!! Do not buy!! This is good for someone who doesn’t know anything about their relatives and will then believe anything that is told to them… not for someone who knows… they are either blatantly lying or making guesses… some may be correct but mine is absolutely wrong! You have a better chance doing Google searches or using Facebook to do ancestry searches and find relatives.


Not a good idea

WinceWon

why am I unable to log into my account and seeing something about a data leak? Absolutely unacceptable. Was a bad idea to begin with. This is really sorry considering the information you have at hand. Peoples immediate relatives?


Meh

My report was not what I expected, pretty non specific.


Results

dumb results

Some of this stuff you saying about me is not correct


Love it

this project is weird

The greatest app it helps me get in contact with my Polish and Italian heritage! Love this


App crashes allll the time

azvmomma

I’ve never had an app crash so much. I get 3 questions into a survey before it crashes and then I have to open it again. It’s really annoying and the only app on my phone I have an issue with. I have the most recent version.


It is a great start.

It is a fantastic start into looking at my DNA, but it really downplays any non-European DNA that you might have.
