  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. [R61] 23andMe 1/5 · US Not what I expected: I’d say, all of the Medical report given is just the stupid surveys the app gives to you answer. It’s honestly not ground breaking in my opinion, because you can actually get the same information elsewhere online for free and your primary care doctor. The genetic testing is very basic and generalized. I’d save your money on this test honestly and go with Ancestry instead. Ance
  3. [R116] 23andMe 5/5 · US Interesting: I was really impressed with the ancestry side of 23andMe. The genetic breakdown is detailed and specific, going beyond broad regions to show more precise origins. The way everything is presented is clear and easy to explore, turning complex data into something interesting. If you’re curious about your background, the ancestry portion alone makes it worth it, it gives you a much clear
  4. [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
  5. [R78] 23andMe 3/5 · US Used to be great, not so much now.: I pay $100/yr to stay updated with heritage and distant family members, but you can’t even manage your app?? I’m lucky to get past the main loading screen, yet now I can’t even see my updated ancestry because it’s stuck “loading”. Did AI take over?? Currently been waiting 10 mins. I’ll probably be cancelling my membership if I can ever log in. Hope I get paid
  6. [R77] 23andMe 5/5 · US Great app: Fascinating and if u get locked out of ur account for whatever reason, it’s easy peasy getting it back with their verification process.
  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. [R94] 23andMe 1/5 · US Why so complicated?: Not very happy with 23 and me because all along you haven’t told me anything about my father side, but I have been asked bunches of questions about my mother side and father side, which I don’t know anything about my father side and so far as best, I can tell by navigating your conflicts and complicated system. No one from my father side has popped up yet. I really think you s
  9. [R1] DNA Evolution 3D 1/5 · US this has bad ads: my son had nitmares
  10. [R64] 23andMe 1/5 · US Results: Paid $200 and all I got back is info for surveys and ads for more tests.
  11. [R81] 23andMe 3/5 · US It’s just an add for their premium service: You now have to pay for services that once were included
  12. [R103] 23andMe 1/5 · US You have to provide payment to view your results, even though you have a membership: Customer service just runs you in circles, would not resolve.
  13. [R82] 23andMe 2/5 · US So-Called Security: Why isn’t the two-step verification via email enough? Why am I being bothered to set up MORE verification through some app or texting just to see the information I already paid for? It used to be enjoyable to review 23andMe, now it’s a pain. I don’t want to set up the verification app nor give my cell number. What if a user like my father doesn’t have those things? Grrrr
  14. [R80] 23andMe 5/5 · US Very interesting and useful: I am very pleased that I purchased this test. There is a lot of useful and interesting information. I don't regret it at all. And new information keeps coming in.
  15. [R115] 23andMe 1/5 · US U guy’s suck: You guys suck results are very broad with no specifics every thing says NOT DETECTED. So expensive for the information I got. Wish I would gone with ancestry instead
