I doubt the app would have negative side affects to the human body as I don't think it's straight up plugged into you. I think it it takes info on your dna then personalizes your experience. One thing that worries me is if the app gets hacked by terrorists and they use people's dna info to create personalized weapons. They might be able to create a personalized weapon for a certain dna range for a group of people with similar dna and stuff like that just my thoughts. Great article.

The DNA App Store - Get ready to use apps that have access to your DNA(and my thoughts on it)
First of all, thanks for reading :-)
And yeah, about the side effects, the app doesn't plug into the body, but it certainly will give the user recommendations, that could have big effects on the users physical and mental health.
I mean, if the effects are good, it's all good. But if they aren't, how prepared, is Helix, as the company that owns the app store, to mediate that kind of a dispute? I mean, so many app developers just shrug it off when they get caught stealing user data. Obviously, if an app gets your DNA and gives you recommendations that end up harming you, surely they shouldn't be able to just get away with it right?

Well I'm guessing they wouldn't develop a app and release it if they weren't confident that the app would give good recommendations. Now if the app gave bad recommendations it would defeat the whole purpose of the app and would result in a failure. If that happens I guess that's the way life works out.

This app reminds me of that personalized sunscreen I used to see on t.v where the company made like 36 different kinds and the person was supposed to be recommended by a doctor what sunscreen to use . People being so diverse couldn't possibly all fall into one of the 36 different categories of sunscreen and the odd ones out must have had some negative side effects. Wonder how the company solved that one without major hassle. Either it was sunscreen or some type of lotion or something like that don't recall fully.
