Eh

I’m wasian— it only said I’m alpinid

Wrong

Completely wrong, I have polish and german roots, and got 20% german and 50% british. I have 0 british in my family

alright

is accurate as I think it could be I don’t like how they only give you one chance to do it, though I think three minimum would be useful with one chance it’s kind of like trap

Interesting Results

The scan was surprisingly accurate and had some interesting results to share about my heritage. Pretty cheap too.

Fun app!

I’ve never done a 23 and me, but this was a fun low cost alternative. Everything seemed accurate for my wife and I with everything we know from our family ancestry and we got a kick out of the narrative description! Fun to do the pets as well. Would recommend!!
