Gave me peace of mind.

I was worried that I might be at risk for late onset Alzheimer's after seeing the condition progress rapidly in my grandmother. Although I bought this test out of curiosity for more clues to my ancestry, it confirmed what I already thought, I do have the gene variant, and I am at a higher risk. I talked to my family and increased the amount I'm saving for retirement just in case. Now I know that it may likely happen and I will be prepared if or when it does, so no need to worry.

Not very informative

I got this as a gift. It just seems like one big advertisement to pay them more money. I wanted to know more about certain health issues, and that just was not there. Instead, the company keeps trying to get me to spend more money, and I don't even know if it will be any more helpful or straight forward that what I have now. Explanations offered on not very helpful already, so why would I give the company anymore money?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Zero Useful Data, Absurd Price

I was given this kit by a relative as a gift. Regardless of whether or not you have a genetic marker for a condition, the answer will be "But that doesn't mean you do/don't have the condition or ever will and if you're concerned see an actual doctor" which is a wild thing to pay that much money for. You can just put that towards a basic statistics course at your local community college and look up prevalence based on geographic area for that level of clinical usefulness. If you're worried, go see a geneticist. You'll be paying them for genetic testing anyway.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Mixed feelings

Mixed feelings. According to the DNA, I have blonde hair. I never had blonde hair. It was always red. According to the DNA, I hate cilantro and love savory foods. In fact, I love cilantro and prefer sweet foods to savory foods. I am surprised there is no genetic test for asthma. Or allergies to cigarette smoking.

ancestors

I love this stuff but am far more interested in exploring my ancient ancestors and older generations of my family tree, than today's modern humans and my very distant cousins... is there any information that can be included in our ancestries that would pinpoint more ancient ancestry other than knowing how much neanderthal i have?

More detailed African Ancestry report needed!

I have been on 23andme for over three years and in that time I have seen European and all other ancestries get more detailed and pointed except for the African Portion. It is time that we are able to pinpoint the specific areas in Africa where our ancestry originates from. More work needs to be done there. The scientific details need to be more specific. Whatever needs to be done to increase your African reference population should be done. It is taking way too long and you are losing out on potential customers of African descent because the lack of detail in that ancestry quadrant.
