Awful UI, truly embarrassing

This has to be the worst app and process I’ve ever encountered. Shutter this company or fire the engineers

Do it!

Do More Work On Your Indigenous American Regions!

Hi 23andMe Team! You’re a good company and I find your results to be very accurate! I’m always recommending your company to family and friends to get tested. With that said I think there could still be improvement to your Indigenous American regions. I know within the last year you got more specific with breaking down North American vs southern mesoamerican, northern andean, and so forth. While that’s a step up from just a label of Indigenous American, it still doesn’t do much for a lot of us that have Indigenous Ancestry, and don’t qualify for a genetic group because we don’t happen to match a reference panel. AncestryDNA has yet again upped their game and has added specific Indigenous regions to their reference panels, without anyone needing to have a genetic group because after all ancestry doesn’t have genetic groups. On 23andMe I have 2.2% North American, 0.2% Southern Mesoamerican, and 0.1% Northern Andean. Yet, ancestry is giving me 3% North Pacific Coast (Canada & USA). Why can’t 23andMe get more specific and broaden their North American category? If you want to keep customers coming or staying for that matter you need to keep them interested and I’m not just talking about historical matches. Do small minor updates every year of some kind. Surely within a year you have gotten a bigger reference panel? After a while it just gets kind of boring. I would love to see some change in the near future.

They Want You to Pay a Subscription Fee for Features That Used to Be Free

I heard that the old CEO sold it, they filed bankruptcy, then she bought it back or something. Idk. But a lot of feature that used to free now require a membership fee of like $99 a year or something crazy. I understand changing features for new users, but I’ve never had to pay in the past and now features are locked behind a paywall. It’s crazy.

23andMe-DNA Testing

23andMe has been a great asset to me. Unfortunately my birth father passed when I was very young and I don’t remember him, never knew any of his family.
I’ve always questioned who my real birth mother was? I never got to meet any of my grandparents. Everyone seems to have passed away. I was adopted when I was 3. 9 out of 12 of us were adopted and immigrated to the United States. I wish I knew more about my indigenous side, who they were? I have so many questions??
Thank you for being here on my journey as I would love to share with my children and grandchildren. Blessings.
