No new health reports coming
The health reports were doing good at first now. It's been months since I have had a new Participate now research surveys show up. On home page featured post hasn't been updated since early 2022 and one research request won't go away after it's finished.

Do not use for genealogy
They missed the mark on me big time. I am a 65 year old, female grandmother. All my relatives received that I was a male. I am listed as my daughters father, my parents, son, etc. I am 100 % female.

23 and Me app dead!?
23 and Me is not responding. After opening the app and waiting only for it to crash and then watching this repeat like a sad song stuck on a single note, I decided to check for a pulse by updating the app. Still, there was no response so I pulled out a defibrillator by deleting and then reinstalling the app. After several attempts to no avail I am regretful to declare the app has died as of 28 February 2023. What can I say about 23 and Me in light of this recent tragedy? Prior to this, the app was easily worth 4.5 stars. I will miss being able to look at my ancestry and health reports. It was a nice feature to be able to find relatives through the DNA testing and comparing our results. It's also good to be aware of any underlying health problems. I only wish I had more time to learn about these things with 23 and Me. But alas, the only thing to do now is decide what to do with it: cremation or burial?

Don’t waste your money
I've been waiting two months and I have no results. There isn't even a method to contact 23 and me. Pay your money and they say goodbye.

Good app, But very upset they limit the family tree to 250 people. There is no warning of this anywhere until you hit the limit. I don't understand why they can't change this to a much higher number. Considering it is one of the biggest considerations for DNA in the world, It feels almost stingy. Ancestry and other companies give way way way more than this. If you're reading this 23andMe PLEASE INCREASE THE LIMIT !!
