23andMe - DNA Testing - Latest Quality Issues
Android
Feb 12, 2025
The amount of information and detail has been removed compared to the earlier versions of the app. Ancestry as well as health, don't waste your time doing surveys, you get nothing in return for it.

It's very informative and comprehensive. It has not been updated in almost 2 years.

Buggy
Can't access ancestors matches. It only play a tutorial. Can't even send feedback in the app. Email comes up with no send button. Frustrating iPhone app.

App look and feel deteriorated, full of ads
Lately this app is full of ads for premium subscription. It looks cheap and garish, I don't recommend.

Rip off
You don't get hardly any information at all. Oh wait, if you pay a huge extra amount you can get some information. Unbelievable!!

Cool but useless after results
It was cool to read the results, but useless afterwards. I don't know if I had too high of expectations, but this did not live up to them. Take into account the security breach and I would not do this again.

Weeks and weeks for results
Having used Ancestry before I was hoping to get some interesting results from 23 and me. Unfortunately the experience has been really disappointing and the amount of time they've taken to process my results has been several weeks. Ancestry processes the results in days.

Paid plenty in advance
I paid a good amount of money when I made my initial purchase. 23Me is continually asking for more and more money. This was never explain at the start.
