Length of ownership:1 week
I am so happy I got this for myself! I have always wondered where my family came from, and yes I checked EVERYTHING out and YES it was so correct! It is one of the best decisions I have ever made! The day my results came back I thought how could I read anything else?!? I studied it all and loved

Health only compared to Ashkenazi Jews

Baseline for health reports compares one to Ashkenazi Jews. If you are not part of that ethnic group, the health part of this is invalid and a waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. Ethnicity is a factor in genetic disease risk. Many recessive genetic conditions are most common in certain ethnicities, and very rare in others. We highlight certain ethnicities for each health report, both on the public website and in the report itself. Highlighted ethnicities (also described as "Important Ethnicities" or "relevant ethnicities" in the reports) are populations in which the variants we report on have been studied the most or are the most common. If your ethnicity is highlighted for a particular report that report may provide more detailed information for you.

It’s too vague. I believe is based on surveys not actual data. It was ball park accurate at best
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Be Careful

I purchased 23&Me because, at the time, I knew nothing about my paternal side. While I had an interest in the origins, my main interest was health, especially as I get older. I've since learned a great deal about my paternal side---origins, family tree, health, and even photos! I already had a great deal of in depth information on my maternal side and its branches. I also knew a great deal about my own personal health. I found that the information provided by 23&Me---origins, family and personal health, as well as personal genetics were completely wrong across the board, especially with respect to my health and genetics. While taking the test and getting the results were both fast and easy (and the cost was reasonable), the results were very disappointing, as were my attempts to get clarification. On the plus, 23&Me does offer a number of surveys which are interesting.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not very accurate

My original report was accurate. This update now says I have zero danish and I know for a fact I have a great grandparent from Denmark...it used to have Danish in my report and now it’s gone. This was really cool at first but now I’m disappointed and don’t see a reason to get one if they constantly change your ancestry and it isn’t accurate
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
