Пробный период не работает. *2025-09-12, version 2.2* Грузит фото минуты 3-4 и выдает ошибку, что связь потеряна. Ни селфи ни фото так и не удалось загрузить. Удалила его и подписку! ### 1/5 — Es un pago de $199pesos mexicanos por pura mentira no gracias *2025-09-11, version 2.2* Le pones saltar y te salen mil anuncios y al final no te da nada jajaja para que pagarías una app que solo vas a ocupar una sola vez jajajajaja se pasan de idiotas ### 1/5 — Не работает *2025-09-11, version 2.2* Постоянно выдает ошибку, ничего не работает! ### 1/5 — Полный шлак *2025-09-10, version 2.2* Приложение — полный шлак и отстой. Не тратьте время, так как всё равно удалите. ### 1/5 — App patético *2025-09-10, version 2.2* Só funciona se pagar, trezentos anúncios e o que interessa não funciona ### 1/5 — Fake *2025-09-09* They is not 100% match **Developer response:** Hello, no recognition system can provide 100% accuracy. Our app is designed with a focus on fun and creative interaction, not scientific precision. Many users enjoy it exactly as light entertainment, and we’ll keep refining it to make the experience even better. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-09-09* So so wrong.. you can’t determine anyone’s dna from a picture **Developer response:** Hi, you are right — no photo can determine real DNA. Our app was never meant for that. It’s made purely for entertainment, using algorithms that create fun results based on images. For real genetic tests, only specialized laboratories can provide them. ### 1/5 — Shi *2025-09-08, version 2.2* Like a skam ### 1/5 — Basura *2025-09-08, version 2.2* $199 por mentirme? ### 1/5 — shi *2025-09-06* Wish i could give a 0 instead🤦‍♂️ **Developer response:** Hello, we hear your frustration. We’ll keep refining the app so that the experience is more valuable. ### 1/5 — No me sirvió *2025-09-05, version 2.2* Me pidió pagar pero aparecía arriba una opción de saltar y me puso un anuncio pero al tomar las fotos con mi rostro no lo detecta y además si quieres volver a intentarlo tienes que mirar otro anuncio y aún así no lo detecta ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-08-31, version 2.1* Very bad app ### 1/5 — Mala mala pero mala *2025-08-29, version 2.1* Su sistema de identificación de etnias es pésimo y es de pago. No señor ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-08-28, version 2.1* Need to pay for everything ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worth or not? *2025-10-16* Absolutely not worth it. This app demands a monthly or annual payment without offering even a single demo, preview, or feature to justify the cost. It’s a blatant cash grab with zero value upfront. Downloading it feels like a waste of time, data, and patience. Avoid unless you enjoy paying blindly. ### 1/5 — غير صحيح وكذب علي الناس *2025-10-12* غير صحيح وكذب علي الناس ### 1/5 — such nonsense))) *2025-10-06* such nonsense)))) you wrote in a response to one person's review that your ad doesnt claim that your app can determine ethnicity like a DNA test. but that isnt true — that's exactly what your «shorts» ad claims. i deleted the app literally 44 seconds after downloading it, because the app has no other function than to tearfully beg you for money for food for the penniless creator of this app, that lives under a bridge in San Francisco's LGBT neighborhood. and i really regret that I cant write here everything i think about the author of this app ### 1/5 — Donde van las fotos? *2025-10-01, version 2.4* Me pidieron una foto y tras la foto el pago, yo no acepté y quité la app, no sé qué hicieron con mi foto pero pido y exijo que se borre mi foto, no quiero que tengan mis datos. ### 1/5 — No descargar *2025-09-28, version 2.3* Trabajo en la industria biométrica y no hay manera que con una selfie, se pueda obtener información sobre los genes (conforme lo publicitan por YouTube) y ascendencia. El único motivo por el que se hizo esta aplicación, es para obtener la mayor cantidad de datos biométricos (datos sensibles) y comercializarlos Edit: Difícil pensar que no comercializan la información, considerando que en los términos y condiciones, los usuarios están otorgando un licencia gratuita y perpetua para que ustedes usen, distribuyan, reproduzcan, crear obras derivativas (ej entrenar una AI), publicar, traducir y publicitar cualquier contenido que se suba o publique, lo que incluyen los datos biométricos. Considerando esa licencia, es bastante indiferente si la aplicación es para usos de “entretenimiento”. ### 1/5 — Полный пиздёж *2025-09-28, version 2.3* Ещё и денег хотят ### 1/5 — Ужас *2025-09-25, version 2.3* Что бы узнать нужно заплатить 12$ за неделю Полный кал ### 1/5 — Отключить *2025-09-22, version 2.2* Отключить покупка ### 1/5 — Very bad & fraud app *2025-09-19* I hate this app , it is fraud **Developer response:** Hi, the app is genuine and works as described. We take feedback seriously and continue improving its quality. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-09-19, version 2.2* Random lies data ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Супер👍 *2025-10-04, version 2.4* Отличное предложение, всё работает и грузит, не читайте лживые комментарии. У них просто плохое настроение наверное 🤣 ### 5/5 — Sorpresa *2025-10-01, version 2.4* Siempre quise saber mi árbol genealógico, pero no sabía que podía ser tan sencillo y me he llevado una grata sorpresa 😮 ### 5/5 — LaChofera *2025-08-31* Nice to know It was detected I am Middle Eastern .. all along I thought I had Indian ancestors. It depends on your photo. **Developer response:** Hello, we’re glad you enjoyed using the app and noticed how results can vary depending on the photo. Thank you for your support! ### 5/5 — Ghjtfh *2025-08-19, version 2.0* Juggling ### 5/5 — My family *2025-07-03* Family **Developer response:** Hey! Thank you — your kind feedback pushes us to do even better. ### 2/5 — Mostly inaccurate *2025-08-28* I got very little to no value from it, but they got 10 bucks. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry the app didn’t bring enough value for you, and we’ll keep working on improving accuracy and overall usefulness. ### 2/5 — Пустое *2025-08-20, version 2.0* Даже не увидел как с работает приложение. Одна реклама и предложение подписки. Бесполезное. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
