I use installation monitor my Kid after DNA
As a Father i decided to watch over my son as his mother my wife doesn’t care about Alvin. As he were going in to high school by monitoring his mobile phones from my own phone. mSpy gave me a package that allowed me know his location at any time, view his whatsapp messages listen to voice notes and social media messages, the crazy part was mSpy4 AT hotmail COM om did everything anonymously so my boy won’t notice anything. I was able to caution him on so many occasions that would have landed me in trouble and he just wondered how i knew so much. if you also need this service to put an eye on your kids or loves ones i guarantee you mSpy is the best.
I used the installation of mSpy
Love Really Hurts A lot
mSpy helped me out
MY husband is a very smart man but i showed him that in every thing a woman is always a woman well i suspected he was hiding a lot from me, he has a mac-book pro he uses and also a Samsung phone i noticed he was cheating on me so i had to contact this mspyservice to hack his phone but i found out that nothing was on his phone so they hacked into his mac-book. i could not believe all that i saw on his laptop he has all his major text messages on his mac-book, he uses WhatsApp on his laptop also i found out that he was in a relationship with my friend who i call a sister i had full access to his mac-book and also read all this messages and so many they always hang out at a hotel on Sundays.. All I saw was too much for me to keep to myself. and also a very big thank you to mSpy that made it possible for me. Their instagram handle is mspyserviceDNA test purchase
I took a DNA test and it ended up being a waste of time. The results were really unclear and didn't make much sense. Plus, they expect you to pay extra for more details, which is ridiculous! If you're curious about your ancestry, skip that place and try Living DNA instead. Seriously, save your money and find a better use for it, like toilet paper.
DNA test kit
I got a DNA test kit from here and it was awesome! I learned a lot about my family history and where my ancestors came from. The results were really fascinating and I even discovered some relatives I never knew existed. It was a bit expensive but definitely worth it for all the valuable information I received.
DNA testing
I was pretty let down by the DNA testing process at that company. I got tons of matches, but couldn't really find any connections with them. Even though I had 3,000 matches, none of them had the same family names as mine, so it was hard to figure out if we were actually related. And not being able to see the family trees of my matches or get more details on our shared DNA just added to the frustration. Compared to another genealogy service I used, which was super helpful, I felt like I basically threw away my money at this company.
DNA test purchase
The whole process of getting my DNA test done was a total nightmare. The website was super confusing and hard to use, which made it tough to upload and see all my important info. It was really frustrating because the customer service was basically non-existent. They took forever to reply and when they did, it wasn't even helpful. I even tried to contact the CEO, but my emails got blocked. I really wish I had checked out the bad reviews before buying anything, it would have saved me so much time and money. The company really needs to give refunds to all the unhappy customers who've had the same crappy service as I did.<br><br>Dealing with them was a mess that lasted for weeks. I wasted so much time and energy trying to figure out their system and fix things, and all I got were more problems and delays.
DNA Test
While the DNA tests from this company might use older tech, it’s worth thinking about how they’re meant to be used. They may not be the most advanced compared to other choices out there, but maybe this company is more focused on medical stuff than ancestry. It’s really important for customers to do their homework and know exactly what they’re getting with these DNA tests to make sure they get what they’re looking for.
mtDNA kit purchase
I recently bought the mtDNA kit from this company and man, what a waste of money! It cost a lot and I had to wait weeks just to get a bunch of codes that didn't tell me anything useful. I already knew where I was from and my family's background, so I was hoping for more specific info about my genes. But nope, all I got were some percentages that didn't make sense. European? Indian? American? African? Who can say! Don't bother with this kit, it's no help at all. Save your money.
DNA test results
My experience with the DNA test results was pretty good. The info was clear and easy to understand. But I did have some trouble with the Family Tree feature. Even after reaching out to customer support, the issue hasn't been fixed yet and there's no timeline for when it will be.
Unlocking chromosome browser
I paid $19 to unlock the chromosome browser, but it only worked for my kit and not the other ones I handle. So, I shelled out another $19, and I have to say, I was pretty happy with how quickly I got access to the chromosome browser. Even though I had seen some bad reviews, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked for me.
Test kits
I recently bought two test kits from FamilyTreeDNA, but I had a not-so-great experience. There were a bunch of issues right from the start. They only sent me one consent form when I needed two. When I emailed their customer service, they told me to fill out a form on their website. I tried multiple times over several months but never got a response. Finally, after all these attempts, I got an email from customer service saying sorry for missing my queries. They said my forms were all in their spam folder, which shows they're not good at paying attention to customer questions.
Raw DNA upload from another company
I uploaded my raw DNA from a different company, but I was really let down by the results I got from FTDNA. Even though my family background is heavily Scandinavian and Irish, my results didn't show any of that. And to add to the confusion, the ethnicity match with my son was only around 17%, which was definitely not what I was expecting. All in all, based on my personal experience, I wouldn't suggest using FTDNA.
2 DNA kits that were never delivered
I bought 2 DNA kits back in January, and they were shipped out the next day. However, they've been stuck in customs in my country for more than a month now. On April 1st, the packages were sent back to the sender, Family Tree DNA. I've tried contacting them through their website multiple times, but I haven't received any response about a refund. It's frustrating dealing with a company that doesn't seem to care about their customers' experience. It's also worrying that they keep selling to countries with known customs issues without providing proper guidance or support. I'm still not sure if I'll ever get my money back, and it feels like I've been taken advantage of.
DNA test purchase
I bought one of those DNA testing kits from this company, excited to find out more about where my family comes from. But man, was I let down. The results were way off for me, my hubby, and even our kid. And not only that, they didn't even match up with each other within our family. It's definitely got me wondering how accurate and trustworthy those test results really are.
Multiracial heritage DNA test
The company really dropped the ball when it came to figuring out my genetic background. They told me I was basically all East and Southeast Asian, but I know for a fact I have African, European, and Asian blood in me. When I tried to talk to customer service about it, they weren't much help and didn't take my concerns seriously. After a few tries and a new kit, I finally got more accurate results. Overall, I wouldn't recommend them at all - waste of time and money.
DNA test purchase
I bought a DNA test from this company and I was really let down by the results. When I got my results, I checked them against our family tree and results from other tests like Ancestry, but I couldn't find a single match. It's obvious that the info given is wrong and not trustworthy, which makes me doubt if this company is legit.
DNA testing for advanced users
As a customer at this DNA testing company, I thought the myOrigins results were okay compared to other popular ancestry testing services. But where this company really stands out is in offering mitochondrial and Y DNA testing for advanced users who want more detailed info about their ancestry. This is a good option for people curious about their maternal or paternal lineages. If you have European ancestry, you'll probably find a lot of matches, but if you're African or Asian, you might have fewer matches because these tests are newer for those populations.
DNA testing kit
The sales team was really nice and helpful. They gave me all the info I needed about the DNA testing kit. I thought it was cool that they do all the processing in their high-tech lab, making sure everything meets the highest standards when it comes to the donor's sample.
DNA test kit
My experience with this company was incredibly frustrating. Ordering was a hassle and took forever. It felt like forever waiting for my test results and when I tried to get updates, nobody responded. The customer service was terrible - they ignored my questions and never fixed my problems. The website was impossible to use, it made no sense. Basically, dealing with this company was a huge waste of time and money.
Y-DNA and mtDNA testing
Man, finding stuff on their website was a nightmare. It felt like wandering through a maze! The prices were a bit high, but hey, they offered Y-DNA and mtDNA testing. The site itself was sluggish and a pain to navigate. They definitely need to step up their tech game. But hey, my results ended up being pretty close to what I thought based on my family tree, so that was a win. And the cool part is you can check out your matches' family trees if they share them. Pretty neat, right?
