They give people ancestries that don't make any sense. Recently they had a big problem where like every other European would score Nigerian and North African. They also give a lot of Scandinavian and Finnish to many Balkan Slavs, I have like 15%

I already explained why. Nothing unusual for Balkan Slavs to score Scandinavian, considering how much I1 haplogroup we have.

Scandinavian, English, Irish etc that is just Saxon, Swabian admixtures. Finnish is Steppe, Finns didn't orignate in Finland they originate in Pontic Caspian Steppe, even Bulgarians get more Finnish in GEDmatch than Balkaners for this reason

Is weird calc obviously I am not arguing that I agree, but is about decoding the results

East European 52.1%
Iberian 22.1%
North and West Europe 13.9%

Maybe, but they have a strange algorithm regardless. Every Balkan Slav scores somewhat similar results on ancestry and 23andme, with some variations in the amount of Balkan and East Europe. No other company gives that much "foreign" dna.

Maybe if it's ancient, but it's too large considering the big companies only go back a few centuries in the compositions.

To me it seems they are more precise. I like to see more "foreign" dna components, besides that, they can be confirmed or not in Gedmatch oracles, at least in my case they are confirmed.
