Entertaining, but extremely inaccurate – We're Related Review

If you know another person who uses this app, you can compare your daily “celebrities”, and you’ll quickly see you and your friend are getting almost the exact same ones. They may be a few days apart, but if this app can find any way to say you’re related to someone, no matter how improbable, it will make the connection. It doesn’t matter that the given date of birth would make a woman FIVE YEARS OLD when her alleged “offspring” was born. Out of the 40+ celebrities this app has given me, even a cursory attempt to verify the connection has shown all but 4 of them are completely inaccurate. Even if you give the ancestor pathway a thumbs down for being inaccurate, the app still continues to send you more notifications using the exact same wrong information. If you’ve been using it already, see if these names look familiar: Marilyn Monroe, Barack Obama, Lady Gaga, George Washington, Kanye West, Chris Evans, Abraham Lincoln... these are only a few of the ones my friends and I have all gotten. Also, there is supposed to be a way to compare your family tree to that of a friend on Ancestry, it doesn’t work. Regardless of how many times you and your friend send invitations to each other and accept them, no one ever shows up on your list if friends using the app. There is no support for this app, either. Zero.
