I loved finding out my genetic background. It was reasonably priced and provided a lot of information. There are even more things I could find out if I wanted to for not much more cost
I would recommend this to a friend!

Too many separate paid features.

I'm actually very disappointed in 23andMe, because I paid for the Ancestry and Health, but I only got basic ethnicity; the ancestry returned only myself and my brother (who happens to already be a member) and a few random 'third cousins, twice removed'. One of them almost immediately sent me a message asking to meet, but that's also a paid feature, so I feel like that was a scam too.
Also, 23andMe asked me a bunch of health questions, and then the 'results' just so happened to basically tell me everything I answered. It's honestly no better than a Tarot Card reading by a fraudulent astrologer who asks the customer a bunch of questions and then tells them what they wanted to hear. I feel like you guys went through my trash and just made things up based on what you found.
Not to mention all the extra features that I'd have to pay for that weren't included (but should have been) is like paying for a video game and then finding out the most important parts are paid DLC (Downloadable Content).
It's also interesting to see the guidelines for writing this review on the left side of the page, which basically are saying 'Don't say anything bad about the service or the people who work for 23andMe or competitive services like ANCESTRY.COM, which EVERYONE told me was BETTER for what I wanted. I have no idea about the 23andMe CUSTOMER SERVICE, because NOBODY has helped me with anything regarding the service yet (and I'll probably have to pay for that too). I'm not sure why I would focus on anything but the product, so that seems pretty silly to put in the guidelines, but I'm not suprised to find something else 'silly' about 23andMe at this point.
I really would prefer a refund, honestly, so I can go pay for ANCESTRY.COM, which will probably tell me more than that I'm related to Jesse James (who married his cousin) and that I'm '47% more NEANDERTHAL than ALL of their other members.'
What I'd REALLY like to say to 23andMe is something that you forgot to mention in the guidelines; 'Do not use profanity, insults, slander or defamation towards the product or customer service', but you can go ahead and fill in the blanks, like you make your customers do every day. I'd say I wish you all the best, but I don't think you could find your butt with your hands, let alone find out where I'm from or who I'm related to, so I'll just say GOOD LUCK (because that's what your service is based on, it seems.
Sincerely,
'Neanderthal James; third removed'

My sister had purchased the kit. She found a brother that our dad didn't know about. He was never told he had a son. He purchased the kit and both shared his DNA. I purchased the kit and I was amazed that I shared 50% of our dad's DNA and more with my sister than our brother. We have different mothers. Our other sister who is an only child purchased a kit. After 50yrs being sisters we discovered she wasn't by saliva. That was so heartbreaking. We cried together but she will always be our dad's daughter and our sister. No love lost. Thank you 23&ME for bringing our family closer.
