*The 23andMe PGS test includes health predisposition and carrier status reports. Health predisposition reports include reports that meet FDA requirements for Genetic Health Risks and wellness reports which are based on 23andMe research. Your ethnicity may affect the relevance of each report. Each Genetic Health Risk report describes if a person has variants associated with a higher risk of developing a disease, but does not describe their overall risk of developing the disease. The reports do not detect all variants. The reports are not intended to diagnose any disease, tell you about your current state of health, or for use in making medical decisions, including whether to take medication, or how much medication to take. This test is intended for use in adults. Visit https://www.23andme.com/test-info for additional important limitations about each report.

**Total Health membership includes services initiated and performed by third-party clinicians and lab providers through the 23andMe platform. Additional terms and conditions also apply. Exome Sequencing is analyzed by a CLIA- and CAP-accredited laboratory. All telehealth services are provided in accordance with the Telehealth Terms (https://www.23andme.com/legal/telehealth-tos/) and Consent to Telehealth (https://www.23andme.com/legal/telehealth-consent/).

Ratings and reviews

Very visually enjoyable and easy to use app. The web page works fine but this is so much easier to navigate and you can access all your info with a tap of a button instead of having to go through the internet and find the website and login every time. Absolutely recommend the app if you're going to be looking at this more than once, it is so fun and simple to access!

The app didn't work the first day. I had to log in off Google. It did start to work the next day. I also did not like the way the results were given. What I mean is they combined certain results. British & Irish were grouped together. There are results like broadly European, which all It means is European, without any further elaboration. There's also a section where it says what physical features u most likely have. Almost every one of their guesses were wrong. Biggest waist of 70$ ever!

The initial data from the test kit is interesting but the app itself is a bit clunky. It often looks like it is going to offer something specific to me but ends up just being general information about a topic which might as well have been a link to Wikipedia. The sort function on the relatives list is weird, it only seems to sort some relatives not all.
