Leave a Review 23andMe
Disappointing
As part of a discussion with my husband we decided to get our DNA tested. I was really excited to use 23andme because I'm adopted and wanted the health reports since I didn't have that information. My husband on the other hand opted for Ancestry and we have been debating on which service is better. I've been trying to defend 23andme since I know that it's a fairly new company and I do think you started the edge with the health reports. But now other companies offer health reports so it doesn't make it so competitive anymore. It's also extremely disappointing that you can sell users information to drug companies but cannot update their profiles regularly. My husband's DNA on the other hand is updated every three months with Ancestry.
I do hope with the money you received from selling your users information,you can further your databases because if I'm being honest I'm close to just getting Ancestry. It'd be enjoyable to actually get valid and consice information about your DNAShow less_ninhursag

Great !!!!!!!RBitzman
Exciting and professional
I am delighted to have taken part and want to thank the team for developing such a modern and professional service. I feel that I have been kept informed throughout the process, and look forward in discovering more as the database expands. I feel content that I have made a mark for future relatives to connect.Show lessKenthopvine
Scn1b Gene found
Because of 23andMe several health related issues have been solved. My brother died suddenly at age 39. The doctors were never able to explain his death. Case solved!! My genetic profile confirms I have a rare genetic heart defect. It seems my brother did as well. So did my sister. I am being treated now. I have also been able to advise family members to be tested for this gene. Grateful to the blessings through 23andme!!! Best gift I ever have received was the 23andme subcription. The data provided was right on!! I would recommend 23andme to everyone. So much more accurate than other ancestry products. The service I have been given has been timely, and informative. Thank you 23andme!!!!Show lessScn1b
23andme Ancestry update
I was initially baffled at the great number of European cousins appearing on my DNA relatives list, as my genes precluded any European ancestry. The updated analysis by 23andme has partially explained this oddity. I follow with keen interest all the updated information sent by you, and am ready to help with any additional information, as the region I come from, Kurdistan, has been ascribed as the cradle of mankind. My birthplace is close to Sharazur, the first human settlement and cultivation circa 12,000BC. Keep up the good work!Show lessSingmanB

Traveling enhanced
Besides, enjoying your DNA and you, 23 & me allows you to locate what part of the world your from. For example, we assumed we came from Black forest, Germany, but it was one of only two exit boat departure points from Germany.
In fact, where my family originated was to be found as part of nearby location, as the family were part of that original Pennsylvania settlement. Interesting! I need to go back now to Germany and visit. In the meantime, I’ve collected enough information to make sure I visit London and other locations in our upcoming trip. On a side note or fun fact, I always put my clotted butter on my scone first followed by jam as my paternal grandmother did. Well, as a little tidbit, that is how they did it in Devon.Show lessEl tigress
It's OK
Since bugbear things first. Weight in reports is based on the outdated pounds that pretty much only north America uses. Rest of the world moved on to KG a long time ago.
Originally I created a profile on the website then logged in via the app and it made a 2nd unwanted profile.
The initial dump of information is overwhelming. But given time I'll learn.
They really need a feedback feature on the website for paid members to be able to quickly and easily raise suggestions for improvement. It's like free business consultation.
It's all really interesting info and tempting to get family members to buy into it. The health side of it is far more interesting than having some random fit contact me because we have all of 3% matching DNA.
I think also is important that users can mark reports to be accurate or not. I find almost 50% of what the reports say about my traits are inaccurate. That's the equivalent to guessing on a multiple choice test which leaves me to question just how good is this service really!Show lessd42UK
So exciting!
Our adult children bought my husband and I these kits for Christmas, and because u procrastinate haha we finally sent them in this week :-) I was shocked to see how quickly they received and are processing our kits! I’m Very impressed with their service so far!
Last night we did the questionnaires and I got so into it I ended up doing all of them - over 1100 questions total haha it was fun and interesting. I’m really looking forward to getting our results by the middle of June, and then I will add the Health part which is very important to me.
I also think it’s definitely a fair price. So far I am extremely satisfied with this company and the whole process. I also love that they have a simple app for my iPhone so I can access it easily. Hope this helps whoever is reading this.Show lessNanaJas
