  1. [R4] DNA Evolution 3D 1/5 · US No substance: Doesnt even pass as a game in alpha development mode. No music, bare bones SFX, rudimentary elements, same run paths, plenty of AD opportunities to add stats or cosmetics which really don’t do anything worthwhile. On to the next merge runner to find a good one
  2. [R6] DNA Evolution 3D 3/5 · US Just needs more elements: Or not but I'd like it better

  6. [R13] DNA Evolution 3D 1/5 · US It’s getting too easy: If you’re at 500 you can get 2K which I just gets too easy Roblox in tower defense is very hard to do by yourself and with other people
  7. [R19] DNA Evolution 3D 1/5 · US Bad game: This game is horrible its so laggy all my elements turn into black balls then when it loads it doesn’t give me my powers in the game don’t install it am going to delete the game it so bad and horeble 1 star
  8. [R21] DNA Evolution 3D 1/5 · US Please fix more bugs: On level 7 I couldn’t collect any elements,that’s why I put 1 star
  9. [R1] DNA Evolution 3D 1/5 · US this has bad ads: my son had nitmares
  10. [R15] DNA Evolution 3D 3/5 · US Good game but...: Good game I should say I do love it but.... there’s and ad after every time you play a round and it’s kind of annoying
  11. [R18] DNA Evolution 3D 3/5 · GB Kinda Stuipid: This games adds are super cringe and the game was a bit better then the adds so three stars May Jerry bless your soul
  12. [R63] MyHeritage 3/5 · US Poor customer service: I subscribe to myheritage complete subscription. After using it a couple of days on a free trial, I decided to cancel it. A few days later, after some reflection, I decided to keep the app and I did it before the end of my free trial. When I went back to the app, it would not allow me to access all of the benefits, listed for the complete subscription I have tried multiple
  13. [R64] MyHeritage 1/5 · US Scam: would give them less stars if I could. I did the dna test and got my results back relatively quickly which wasn’t the issue. The problem started when I paid the extra 50 bucks to do the health report. They said they would use the sample from my dna and it would take about a month. That was in February of 2026 it’s now July of 2026 and I still have yet to get anything but the run around from
  14. [R67] MyHeritage 1/5 · US They’re lying about 4.9 stars: It is absolutely outrageous how terrible their customer service is. Before you trouble yourself just do a quick google search on “how to get ahold of my heritage”. I’ve never gotten so frustrated in my life. You are sent in loop after loop after loop of some ai. If you somehow manage to get the ai to have a human email you, good luck because by the time you respond
  15. [R88] MyHeritage 1/5 · US Support is Frustrating: I paid for a subscription then discovered I’d have to pay more to get the information I actually want. I spent hours going through the support pages and couldn’t find where I could call or send a message. Now trying to cancel and request a refund but cannot find how to do it.
  16. [R68] MyHeritage 5/5 · US MyHeritage: The MyHeritage app continually improves and seems to be very accurate and matches my genealogical research.
  17. [R78] MyHeritage 3/5 · US Free version okay: App is okay for why and how I use it. However, their ethnicity results are incorrect. They show me as being about 29% Italian whereas multiple other DNA services show zero Italian but a similar percentage in a completely different - and expected - country/region/continent. I think someone should double-check the ethnicity mapping in the app.
  18. [R83] MyHeritage 5/5 · US European heritage: If you have European heritage, then this is the website to use for your DNA test. Unlike other DNA websites, not only will you find your DNA matches here in the United States, but in any European country, you may have descended from.
  19. [R97] MyHeritage 1/5 · US Incorrect/basic results: Results are not accurate. It is either very basic or their database is not reliable. I have direct ancestry to a region from one of my grandparents that this completely disregarded. AncestryDNA would be my go to instead.
  20. [R27] DNA Evolution 3D 1/5 · US Cool game but the only problem is WAY TOO MANY ADS: Ads ads ads ads ads and more ads
  21. [R69] MyHeritage 3/5 · US Organize family: Way to organize family members into a tree. You have to pay a ridiculous price to view other people’s records or published records that might help your research. In the meantime you are putting your stuff out there for free. Don’t pay in my opinion.
  22. [R72] MyHeritage 3/5 · US Came for the DNA testing; regret the subscription: As the title says, affordable DNA testing is what brought my wife and I to MyHeritage. I already had started a family tree on FamilySearch.org, which is free. But to keep things simple, I let my trial on MyHeritage roll over to one of their subscription plans. That's were things get confusing. MyHeritage has a number of subscription plans, but t
  23. [R80] MyHeritage 5/5 · US Amazing platform but..: This service should be free with the subscription included with purchase of the kit. Heritage should be accessible for free once testing yourself.
  24. [R103] MyHeritage 1/5 · US Wierd charges: I called to cancel my subscription last year due to high subscription charges of 100-200 I don’t remember. 1 year later they are trying to charge me $300 for the membership that I already cancelled. Reaching out to customer. Service is almost impossible.
