Pretty much confirms what I already new /am I. Is it me or it's indeed highly overrated?

Most people just buy it to have the real G25 coordinates

Yeah I get It, I mean I don't want to sound like a completely Karen but for $30 it's indeed pricey for what It offers.

Don't worry i'm sure many other people agree that paying 27 euros for this is quite expensive.

But he should get a Euro kit, like Eurafricanid did. Because a lot of calculators aren’t Latam compatible.

Yeah honestly I wondered if it was worth it as well, as they updated it though I ended up getting additional enough information over time that it definitely was worth it at least for me but it seems like it still has room for improvement with certain non-European groups IMO. But I do find it fun. I was considering getting results for my family but now they are like 27 Euros/40 CAD each which is a lot. I agree it is a bit pricey for what it offers, I also hope they update the modern breakdown soon too. I actually found some other DNA tests I did more overrated than this one, but then everyone has different experiences with different DNA companies. Not sure if this is helpful =). I've still been super divided about whether to get results for one of my family members for the G25 coordinates mainly.

G25 was worth it for me mostly because it proves my 30% Iberian on 23andMe is actually French. I probably could've used K36 for the same purpose, but I feel better knowing I used the latest state-of-the-art :cool: And it's obviously more accurate too.

If they see that you're Spanish, they start to put weird things in you, I did it to get the coordinates of my father and brother and little else.
