I have sent numerous messages to this site as well as posted online about the terrible responses received from CRI about my concerns and disappointment. No helpful response at all.......

I find the DNA results questionable but also a little inaccurate. I find that for the money I paid, I should’ve had more information available to me. I didn’t realize that when you want to find out something like your musical ability or other things, you have to pay extra for that when you get on the site. I wanted to know what famous people I was related to and I didn’t find that out. Everything is extra. It’s like ordering à la carte. I was disappointed in this DNA test. I clearly cannot recommend it at this point. If anything changes, I will change my review.

I believe this company is a total scam! I got my results and a good portion of what I thought I was paying for was "locked" and they wanted more money to see them. And the results that I could open were for the most part either vague and generic at best or downright wrong. I have naturally red hair and they couldn't even get that right. That's not a hard one you either have the gene or you don't. I demanded a full refund but only got 40% and I had to fight for that! If they were a reputable company I would have been given a 100% refund. They lead you to believe that you will get 80 "health" reports. But when I questioned not getting any predispositions for health concerns, I was told "we don't offer that." Well isn't that what health reports are?? This has taught me a good lesson. Research, research, research a company before you give them your hard earned money. A total waste of time and money for me.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we understand how disappointing it can be when results or available reports differ from what you anticipated. We want to assure you that CRI Genetics is a legitimate company, and we are committed to providing customers with meaningful genetic insights based on their DNA analysis. We understand your concerns regarding report availability, locked content, and the information included in your package. Our goal is to provide clear details about the features and inclusions available with each product. As listed on the order page, the Health and Wellness Reports include: Allergy Reports Metabolism Reports Nutrition Reports Weight Loss Reports Wellness Reports Unique Trait Reports Energy Reports Our ancestry reports provide a research-grade estimation of your BioGeographical Ancestry with a confidence level of over 90%, reflecting our commitment to providing scientifically supported insights. Regarding your concern about red hair results, the expression of red hair is influenced by genetics and is not always determined simply by whether a parent or child has red hair. The gene associated with red hair is typically recessive, meaning a person generally needs two copies of certain variants of the MC1R gene for red hair to be expressed. Even if both parents carry a red hair-associated variant, it does not guarantee that every child will have red hair. A child may inherit the variant and carry it without visibly expressing the trait. This means red hair can appear unexpectedly in families after generations without anyone having visible red hair. Your DNA results may indicate that you carry genetic variants associated with red hair, even if the trait is not expressed in you. These variants may potentially be passed to future generations and may be expressed in descendants depending on the combination of variants they inherit. We’re also sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the refund process. We understand the importance of having clear information about refund eligibility and policies.

The results were completely bogus. Both of my parents have done their tests on 23andme and got accurate results that actually agree with their known ancestry. My results do not look like theirs at all! It's a mix of completely random and implausible groups from all over the world.

We’re sorry to hear that your results did not align with your expectations and understand why this would be concerning, especially when comparing them with your parents’ results.

This is a scam. They promise you the world and give you a map and some general information pertaining to anyone in the world. Wish I would have done some research. My friend got the same thing at another site for much less. RUN!!! wish I could leave zero

I was warned about their bait and switch practices but since I initially didn't sign up for relative finder I was initially happy with the overall genetic information and was told that relative finder would be coming soon. I got a notice that I had a new relative (a first cousin). I immediately signed up for All Access. The first cousin disappeared and I was told that "relative finder" wasn't available at that time. Okay, fool me once. I was pissed and instructed to fill out a bunch of "permissions etc..." and sign up for All Access Plus. Different subscription so I had to cancel the first......not a single close relative ever came up again. I cancelled BOTH subscriptions well ahead of time and figured "live and learn". They just charged me for the subscription I cancelled more than a month ago. I guess I will do it all again in October

Easy and quick, communication was terrific throughout. I would like family connections to access all dna data, not just CRI’s. That would be most helpful.

I can't register the kit. When I enter the code I get the message "Unable to register." If I try again, I get a message to click indicating I'm not a robot. But I still can't register the kit. There's an AI chat assist, but they want $5 for the service. I've already spent over $130, $137, I think, so I'm not going to spend another $5 to be ripped off by this company.
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter issues while trying to register your kit, especially after you’ve already invested in your DNA testing journey.

We truly value you as a CRI Genetics customer and appreciate the opportunity to assist you. Our goal is to help you successfully register your kit and continue your DNA testing experience.

If I could give negative stars, I would! My report was COMPLETELY wrong, stating one grandparent (born 1870-1945) was Han Chinese and one (born 1870-1945) was Bengali. I personally knew all 4 of my grandparents born in the 1880’s and not one of them was of either of these nationalities. Don’t waste your money, CRI is a complete scam. Nothing else was worth reading after that.

I have more questions than answers. I was expecting a breakdown of paternal and maternal ancestry😞
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your results left you with more questions than answers. We understand that you were hoping to see a detailed breakdown of your maternal and paternal ancestry. Regarding the maternal and paternal breakdown, our ancestry estimates are generated by analyzing your DNA as a whole. We cannot reliably determine which portions of your ancestry were inherited from your mother's side versus your father's side. To ensure the accuracy of your results, we do not separate ancestry by parent when the available data cannot support it with confidence. Please send us a chat, email, or give us a call at your convenience so we can look over your account, answer your questions, and explain your reports in greater detail. We're committed to helping you better understand your reports. We look forward to hearing from you and assisting you further.
Paid full price for membership and still have to buy additional credits to read reports. Very slow response to get report. Seems like a scam to hook you into spending more and more money.

The health reports have been very helpful. I thought I had a gluten intolerance but found out from reports that that probability was low but I had a high probability for an allergy to wheat. So I paid attention to my reaction to gluten from another source than wheat. In short I didn’t have the normal reaction. Also the mitochondrial test really opened my eyes to my ancestors from my mother’s side.It also helped me to know the Peruvian connection was thru my mother’s side. Since the Incan mummy girl had the same haplo group as mine. Very interesting. I’m very glad I did more than the basic DNA test.
Hi Grace! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re so glad to hear that the reports helped you gain new insights into both your wellness and maternal ancestry.

Give one price to include all your package!
Thank you for your feedback—we understand your concern. We do offer one-time packages, but we also have subscription options available that provide ongoing access and updates once your initial reports are completed. This allows you to continue receiving new or additional insights as more features and data become available over time.
Bad specification, It just says Eastern slav. You really can't be more specific? Plus $100 to unlock relative finder temporally? Everything I mean EVERYTHING is an extra fee.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we truly appreciate it. Regarding your ancestry results, we prioritize accuracy over excessive precision.

Generic information for too much money and they constantly have marketing emails to get you to purchase more.
