HEAR WHAT NEIGHBORS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT NEXTDOOR
“Before Nextdoor, I didn’t know there were several qualified babysitters living nearby and looking for work. It was easy to feel comfortable hiring my neighbor’s daughter to watch my son after school.” - Patrick, Mission East
“This year for Spring Cleaning, we wanted to sell old appliances, tools, clothing and electronics on Nextdoor’s For Sale & Free section. In no time, our neighbors stopped by to make a deal and take things off our hands. It was easier than anything else, and it feels good knowing our old stuff has found a new home in the neighborhood.” - Dan, Hayes Valley

Aug 27, 2020 Great app. Does exactly as explained on the App Store. It's nice to have a social app that shows only content from your nearby neighborhood with the option to go as far or near as you please! Great for local news, as and when it occurs, buying or selling seems easier as it shows only your chosen jurisdiction and of cors adverts for services are only shown from your locality! Like I said..great little app! I believe this will be HUGE in the not-so-distant future as its usefulness becomes known.more -
Aug 26, 2020 Love the concept of the app and the ability to connect with your neighbours, but it keeps freezing on me, and everytime open it, I get a pop up screen that my hubby doesn't get. I've been trying to add my topics but the more buttons dont work so I can't add them. If this can be fixed and the pop up stops popping up, I'll change my review to 5 starsmore -
Sep 14, 2020 It's ok. NEEDS A DARK THEME! Pages too bright and wear on battery. Don't enjoy using it very much. Fingerprint security login feature? Too many redundant ads. Seems Newsfeed not always in order. Also get duplicate listings for the same items and postings. No way found to access the "About" section for the community. No tab for list of local area Leads in the Lead Tools like there is in the web version.more -
Aug 29, 2020 Good app with great ideas! Can be very informative. There are many, nosy, busy bodies that as too many questions! Why were the police three doors down from me for three hours? Did anyone hear screaming last night? Are the Smith's moving out? I saw the husband leading furniture and clothes! I wonder if the house is going on the market? Things that just waste time and space and not informative to anyone but the sender. People come to complain! Loose or barking dog.Why wasn't the street plowed?more -
The good, the glitchy, and the bad customer care
Apr 19, 2019 This app is fine. It’s great for selling because it’s way safer than CL, but it’s really no different than any other social network. Everyone with their inputs and soapboxes is still here. That’s fine though, who cares. What burgers me about this app is that it is extremely glitchy and their policies make no sense. Every message I receive renders a double notification bubble, you can’t change pics out in your ‘for sale’ listings, even though there is a button to click to change them. You can sit there clicking “remove photo” until the second coming ... It ain’t coming down. So then you have to delete the entire posting altogether and repost it. When you have 15-20 postings, this becomes an issue. I’ve now moved exactly 1.5 miles down the road, which means (apparently to these guys) MARS, and they take the liberty of deleting my items. Not put their ability to be sold on hold, not muting the post, not even archiving, but simply deleting them altogether. When I contacted customer care about the issue, they said they could do nothing, as this was their policy. Hmmmm. This tells me they have a VERY lazy and/or sloppy coding team and complaisant customer care group.more

Sep 11, 2020 Unable to set up a profile because when I go to my text messages to get the 4 digit code, the page I was on... disappears. It then takes me back to the beginning of sign up. So I changed my text notifications so that I can preview the text without having to go back to messages. That worked, but I changed my address and it keeps wanting to send a postcard to my old address. Hot mess.more -
No real privacy
Mar 7, 2020 You have no ability to choose not to display your full name. They prohibit anything other than your complete name. You have virtually no privacy at that point their support states it’s because it’s how you introduce yourself to complete strangers. But, I choose what information I give to complete strangers up and including if I am going to share my last name. I find it disgusting that they force it to be shown on the site not allowing the user to decide how much information of theirs is displayed. You can run the site and do a verification process while still allowing people personal display preferences. It’s disgusting and sorry but it’s perfect breeding ground for killers, serial killers, rapist and other. People get your name and your town and if they read enough of your comments I am sure they can use it for a hunting ground so sorry that I think the practice of not allowing someone privacy is disgusting. I thought the app would be great but it is a little to fascist to me. Until they allow some privacy measures for their users I won’t be utilizing this or any program of the like. I don’t introduce my entire name and area I live in to complete strangers especially not online. Not even my Facebook displays all identifying markers for people. So sorry I think this app needs to remember that there are sick people out there and they are helping not hindering those sickos.more -
Aug 26, 2020 It's gone the way of the almighty dollar. Original developer probably sold to a major company. It's now nothing but ads, ads, ads! Even if you get past the ads, you have to deal with out of order posts regardless of the newsfeed preference settings. I don't recommend using this app, but unfortunately I don't know of another like it.more -
Good intent but not beneficial to the community
Apr 12, 2019 I’ve had this app for over a year. While the app is useful for certain things going on in your personal community, you find there can also be a negativity by those close to you. In the year that i had the app I post only one single communication which was to find shelters near me that I could donate clothing to rather than dropping them to a Goodwill or other for profit organizations. The intent was to donate items to people in need in my community rather than give them to mass organizations that in turn use those items for profit. In less than 24 hours of me posting my single post, my entire account was suspended because I chose not to disclose my last name. I believe that info was not relevant to my intent to benefit my community however, someone within my community complained that my last name was not posted & Nexdoor chose to delete my account based of that complaint. I’ve read multiple posts over the past year about petty things such as how to get rid of the homeless or how annoying cyclist are but I find myself suspended for not providing my personal information which was only noticed from a post meant to help my community. This app supports those that only have negative complaints about the communities it serves but does not support those actively trying to help those in need within those communities.more -
Your satisfaction will depend on your expectations
Aug 19, 2018 I’ve been a Nextdoor user for several years. I’ve found it to be an excellent place to post things I have for sale (as long as they’re not vegetables from my garden, eggs from my chickens, quilts I’ve made, etc.). My neighbors have also kept me informed about various criminal activities in the area, events that might disrupt my commute, contractors both good and questionable, and opening dates for new businesses. On the other hand, discussions about serious and meaningful topics are often flagged for removal, even if the discussion is lively and respectful. Nextdoor policies also prohibit neighbors posting services they offer (babysitting, dog walking, house-sitting, etc.) unless the person creates a business page (a bureaucratic tangle few individuals are willing to navigate). Finally, it’s entirely too easy to flag someone’s post without first contacting them to explain the problem. So, if all you’re looking for is an online forum to learn about which roofers are dependable or get rid of that old furniture cluttering up your garage, you’ll be happy with Nextdoor. If you’re thinking you’ll have a place to discuss the positions of your local elected representative or the merits of proposed legislation, or let everyone nearby know about your side business, you’ll likely be disappointed.more

Loving it so far!
Sep 14, 2018 Just joined in a few days ago and I think I’ll be happy with the concept... Staying informed and connected with your neighborhood and community can make for a better more enriching and fuller life! Promoting the feeling that “we’re all in this together” can only be a good thing cuz even adults need reminders on etiquette and how to communicate with both integrity and grace, which has sadly been going out of style as of late... This app can be the platform for recreating a better, bolder, more involving, more compassionate community with informative and inspiring neighbors who can guide us and teach us that we’re really not all that different from one another and most of us just want the same things... To love and to be loved, to be understood as we are and the capacity and openness to understand others without rancor but with respect and compassion. Well, I’m a dreamer and probably an optimistic, most times, and one can only hope for the best, yet this app gives us all the opportunity, the voice, and to take action to do more than just hope... one neighborhood at a time...!more -
Awesome APP why didn’t any think of this sooner?!?
Jul 27, 2018 Ok so let’s admit it, community and neighborhood values have changed in the past days 10 years. We no longer know our neighbors it’s just not the same. Technology may be part of the reason why, amongst other reasons too but hey if technology is keeping neighbors isolated and not out talking to one another then why not use it to our advantage right? .. and that is why I appreciate this App so much. It’s a place to share good news, bad news, warnings/alerts... missing pets/items...offer refer promote or inquire about services ... pitch ideas and generally just communicate with one another. It helps maintain a safer surrounding Keeps people aware and informed and I guess is the new way to be a neighborhood.. take what I can get but I have to admit so far there’s been at least 3 incidents in which this app has benefited me personally ... it’s great. Get your neighborhood involved guys.. it can’t hurt but I can help. Totally recommend the neighborhood app...at least check it out. Thanks to the developers ... one app I’m sure of is this one. Love it!more -
Unkind Comments & inappropriate language
Nov 2, 2018 I check this site several times a day & love to see what’s happening in our area. Sometimes I can help people, or at least encourage them when they have a problem. However, yesterday I was dismayed at the response of one of the “founding” neighbors as he made extremely disheartening comments to a lady who was fearing that a crime may be coming her way due to a man who had escaped from prison. The comments even used the “F” word (though he spelled it out) on this site which was inappropriate language for this wholesome site. How disappointing it was to me & to the lady his comments were directed toward. He simply caused more distress for her as she was already fearing that an uncomfortable event could take place in her own home that very night! Fortunately, our law enforcement officers did a great job apprehending the suspect before he had a chance to reach her. She had simply asked her neighbors to kindly look out for anyone suspicious near her home. Isn’t that exactly what this site is all about - Neighbors helping & being good neighbors?more -
Oakland FD
Aug 2, 2019 I have lived here in Montclair for almost 25 years; and since Nextdoor has been available, it is beneficial to read about happenings I might not have been ptivy to; like all of the problems wotg the Oakland Fire Dept this year—- OFD is more stringent this year than they were after the great fire of 1991 of which I was here—-This is only the second time in all that time I have been cited; and years ago one did not get fined on reinspection if one got cited; what woukd happed is that a crew would come in and bring your property compliant and OFD would bill u; also OPD would post a letter on your door if u were compliant or not ; now one has to go online or now u get a letter in the mail with no phone number to call and get an explabation: how unethical is that—- Also, I have seen properties in my neighborhood that are not compliant and the work is never done and they are still not in compliance in October—-I say favorites are being played—- Tree branches have to be cut to at leadt 10 feet off the ground; no bushes next to trees so as to stop the ladder effect for fires—-more

Great App but some bugs lately
Sep 27, 2018 I'm a Lead for Nextdoor and yesterday while trying to report a post, which is part of my job as a Lead, it kept diverting me out of the app to the internet page instead of the next step in the app. I wasn't the only Lead this was happening to. The internet page didn't have a submit button so I had to go back to the app and it was an endless cycle back and forth between the app and the internet page. When trying to report the problem, I found that there's no "Contact Us" in the app which I find quite inconvenient if you're having a problem. I think the developers should put a Contact Us link at the bottom of the Help menu so that Leads who need to do their jobs can get help immediately without the hassle of searching for a way to report a problem. Finally after searching through the Help via the website, I was able to find a way to report the problem. Other than this complication, I find the app very useful and easy to use. I wish more of the Leads Tools, that are on the mobile site were in the app too.more -
It's ok
Mar 30, 2020 The app is a good way to connect with neighbors in a new place that you moved to. For me I loved it a few years back. I moved to new state far from where I grew up so I needed the connection. During this pandemic my my my the crazies came out and spread so much misinformation and hate. So many people on there making false statements making others want to correct them like me. Then they bully you. I had to defend myself on there. I felt like it was a second Facebook. I quickly deactivated my account then thought no I need the connection living in a rural area. So I went back on with a new profile picture new name. Wish I could take my street name off. I made it as private as I could get and didn't add any information on there. Some is forced like street name. Someone needs to do something about the bullying on there and panic. It's unnecessary and dangerous . For now I'm just using to be informed I'm no longer interacting with anyone on there unless I ultimately have to. It won't be to defend myself. I will report bullying, panic and negative behaviors .more -
What I love about Next Door & some suggestions.
Dec 12, 2018 I love having access to so much local news. I often find places I’d like to go, see and learn about traffic jams, crime, missing and found pets etc. I have at this point only 2 suggestions. The For Sale keeps and repeats items for many months and each time a price goes down, the earlier listing & prices are still there. The other suggestion is about a volunteer group that I like a lot. It is a dog rescue and they find homes for dogs every week. One very positive place for them to get is on Next Door, I found them here because of the dogs they were showing. Apparently someone cuts their notices off saying they are inappropriate. They certainly are the kind of information I would like to see. Everyone at Rufus Rescue is a volunteer, they work very hard, the reward is a positive one, finding a home from some neglected, abused or lost dogs. On the other hand, it’s costs (has, neutering, veterinarian fees, food, supplies ......) are enormous. They recoup some of the veterinarian fees etc., through donations and ask a small fee to adopt- doesn’t cover a fraction of what they need to spend. They rely on donations from good hearted folks and just eat some personal expenses individually. I repeat, they are all volunteers. This is a group which should be allowed on Next Door each time, or at the very least, the person who blocks them should be identified and explain why they are blocking this group. Thank you, Virginiamore -
Unexpected Side Effect
Apr 10, 2018 This app itself is a great concept, and is executed well. Neighbors are able to community quickly and effectively in a way that is not possible on other social networking apps. I have no complaints with the app or the function of the app itself, all works well and is easy to navigate. My only complaint (which is not at the fault of any of the developing team or app creators) is just that this app will really REALLY open your eyes as to who you live next door to. I’ve found that people from my neighborhood and people from my whole town actually, are terribly racist. Once again, not anything negative on the app itself, it’s just that this social network DOES give some people a platform to speak openly when they really shouldn’t be given that platform. Some of my neighbors post what they think to be funny jokes but what are really racist or homophobic slander or prejudice. This comes, I’m assuming, mostly becuase I live in a very conservative area in Texas. Great app, hate my neighbors!more

Aug 28, 2020 It's a decent app until a neighbor makes a comment about oh let's say politics,them the app turns into a battlefield. I signed onto this app so I could help those homebound .I expected to do things like running errands, picking up mail, or driving to Dr appt. I didn't expect to witness neighbors nit picking and making judgement calls on fellow neighbors. On the up side, I enjoy the local info provided and love the thrift store they have on app. It's a lot of fun.more -
Aug 31, 2020 Great concept & valuable updates on neighboring areas. However, the app looks cluttered when opened because of the layout and ads. I recommend an even more minimalist approach to posts that appear on the front page and more detailed when clicked on. On a phone, looking at the feed can get quite overwhelming from the size of the ads alone.more

Sep 8, 2020 This app could be really cool. But sadly it is just manly frustrating. It has a major lag so you are spending forever waiting around for pretty much anything. Not able to set a profile picture cuz the app won't load my galleries for my phone. To the developers, you guys have a great idea but y'all just need to work out a lot of the bugs. Thanks hope this helpsmore -
Sep 1, 2020 If you can wade through all of the ads, then you'll find some useful posts from your neighbors. Would like to see a dark mode so it's easier on the eyes at night in bed when the missus is yelling for me to turn off the lights. 2 stars bc of the sheer volume of ads and no dark mode.more -
Sep 4, 2020 I really wanted to like this app. But instead of neighborhood posts it's nothing but ads. I see as many as 5 ads between neighborhood posts. There's really great potential here for something useful and positive but right now it's just a place to look at ads. No thank you.more -
I wish it was better.
Jul 28, 2020 While this app is extremely useful for living in a rural community like I do, it’s not a very good app. It’s hard to keep my dashboard preferences intact. To be kept up to date with local emergencies, I need it to be in chronological order. It will be in order chronologically for a short time, but generally when I refresh the app I get random posts each time, including some that are weeks old with barely any activity. On top of that, as others have said, some posts will be removed even though conversation remained civil and on topic. These post and comment removals are seemingly random? On the other hand, when a neighbor posts blatant and dangerous misinformation about covid-19, the post will stay up despite it being reported under the specific category of Covid-19 misinformation. Most Facebook groups are run better than this. I want this app to work properly so bad. It’s glitchy, and notifications are weird, no matter what you set your preferences to. This app is very useful and important to have in a community like mine, where important information on wildfires and other emergencies are shared. It has potential. But definitely has some extremely annoying shortfalls.more

I’ve read multiple posts over the past year about petty things such as how to get rid of the homeless or how annoying cyclist are but I find myself suspended for not providing my personal information which was only noticed from a post meant to help my community. This app supports those that only have negative complaints about the communities it serves but does not support those actively trying to help those in need within those communities.more -
Their information is not up to date
Oct 31, 2019 I received an email stating my account with Next door was suspended, when I emailed back and inquired why, they state I have a sex offender living with me and they sent me his file. First of all me my husband and daughter lived in Cloverleaf forest which is a campgrounds so everyone in there uses 910 N Broad Street, however everyone has different lot numbers. I don’t and never did have a sex offender living with us. So now it tells me in an email to contact the local sex registry and explain to them and they can do the proper paperwork to clear the household. I called them and they don’t do any paperwork for this. Ok there is no other way to contact next door to clear this up. Furthermore, I moved from 910 N Broad Street over a year ago and I live on the East Coast of Florida. I had next door app over in Cloverleaf when I lived there, so the community can keep each other informed of what is going on in the neighborhood. So when I moved and I got a new phone I have not used the app in quite some some almost a year. But they suspend me and any household accounts related to that old address!!! Not sure what to do next since their local sex registry can’t help me. I don’t even know the guy in the file that next door sent to me. Any suggestions would be great and helpful I sure don’t need this crap following me my family and family name.more
What’s Groovy
I’m from Ventura which was greatly affected by the Thomas fire, the largest wildfire to date in California. This app was the best way our city communicated with us during the 3 weeks the fire burned. Through this app, the city was able to quickly post information as they received it about the fire, when people could return home, where to pick up free masks for the smoke and workshops and resources for those who lost their home. Even after the fire was finally put out and the news crews left, neighbors in the affected areas who had lost their home were exchanging information about how to clear the debris, reporting suspicious activity and exchanging experiences trying to manage their insurance claims. I have learned about the difficulties of rebuilding after a natural disaster through this app.
I thought this app was mostly just to buy and sell things with rude people but once our city went through a disaster, this app became invaluable, informative and helpful for everyone in our city. To the Nextdoor app team, thank you for playing an integral part in our city’s ongoing recovery.

What’s Subpar
Not fully functional, there is no way to see the About Community section, app is very bright, need a dark theme. Needs a direct way to get to the map. still no real update notes, still haven't fixed the things they need to fix. More worried about politics and political corrections than fixing their app. The new app is quite pretty but I still don't see a way to turn on a dark theme. In addition there is still no way to get to the "About Community" page for your community. Still this way...

Great app. Does exactly as explained on the App Store. It's nice to have a social app that shows only content from your nearby neighborhood with the option to go as far or near as you please! Great for local news, as and when it occurs, buying or selling seems easier as it shows only your chosen jurisdiction and of cors adverts for services are only shown from your locality! Like I said..great little app! I believe this will be HUGE in the not-so-distant future as its usefulness becomes known.

Love the concept of the app and the ability to connect with your neighbours, but it keeps freezing on me, and everytime open it, I get a pop up screen that my hubby doesn't get. I've been trying to add my topics but the more buttons dont work so I can't add them. If this can be fixed and the pop up stops popping up, I'll change my review to 5 stars

It's ok. NEEDS A DARK THEME! Pages too bright and wear on battery. Don't enjoy using it very much. Fingerprint security login feature? Too many redundant ads. Seems Newsfeed not always in order. Also get duplicate listings for the same items and postings. No way found to access the "About" section for the community. No tab for list of local area Leads in the Lead Tools like there is in the web version.

Good app with great ideas! Can be very informative. There are many, nosy, busy bodies that as too many questions! Why were the police three doors down from me for three hours? Did anyone hear screaming last night? Are the Smith's moving out? I saw the husband leading furniture and clothes! I wonder if the house is going on the market? Things that just waste time and space and not informative to anyone but the sender. People come to complain! Loose or barking dog.Why wasn't the street plowed?

The good, the glitchy, and the bad customer care
This app is fine. It’s great for selling because it’s way safer than CL, but it’s really no different than any other social network. Everyone with their inputs and soapboxes is still here. That’s fine though, who cares. What burgers me about this app is that it is extremely glitchy and their policies make no sense. Every message I receive renders a double notification bubble, you can’t change pics out in your ‘for sale’ listings, even though there is a button to click to change them. You can sit there clicking “remove photo” until the second coming ... It ain’t coming down. So then you have to delete the entire posting altogether and repost it. When you have 15-20 postings, this becomes an issue. I’ve now moved exactly 1.5 miles down the road, which means (apparently to these guys) MARS, and they take the liberty of deleting my items. Not put their ability to be sold on hold, not muting the post, not even archiving, but simply deleting them altogether. When I contacted customer care about the issue, they said they could do nothing, as this was their policy. Hmmmm. This tells me they have a VERY lazy and/or sloppy coding team and complaisant customer care group. -
It's a decent app until a neighbor makes a comment about oh let's say politics,them the app turns into a battlefield. I signed onto this app so I could help those homebound .I expected to do things like running errands, picking up mail, or driving to Dr appt. I didn't expect to witness neighbors nit picking and making judgement calls on fellow neighbors. On the up side, I enjoy the local info provided and love the thrift store they have on app. It's a lot of fun.

Loving it so far!
Just joined in a few days ago and I think I’ll be happy with the concept... Staying informed and connected with your neighborhood and community can make for a better more enriching and fuller life! Promoting the feeling that “we’re all in this together” can only be a good thing cuz even adults need reminders on etiquette and how to communicate with both integrity and grace, which has sadly been going out of style as of late... This app can be the platform for recreating a better, bolder, more involving, more compassionate community with informative and inspiring neighbors who can guide us and teach us that we’re really not all that different from one another and most of us just want the same things... To love and to be loved, to be understood as we are and the capacity and openness to understand others without rancor but with respect and compassion. Well, I’m a dreamer and probably an optimistic, most times, and one can only hope for the best, yet this app gives us all the opportunity, the voice, and to take action to do more than just hope... one neighborhood at a time...! -
Great concept & valuable updates on neighboring areas. However, the app looks cluttered when opened because of the layout and ads. I recommend an even more minimalist approach to posts that appear on the front page and more detailed when clicked on. On a phone, looking at the feed can get quite overwhelming from the size of the ads alone.

I’d give it a higher review if the notifications worked properly
I’m still fairly new to Next Door, but right off the bat, I found it demanding and overbearing. I got bombarded with emails that I never signed up for. I had to adjust my settings to not receive any emails, then I had to sit there and unsubscribe. For push notifications, I said I only wanted Top Posts and responses to my comments or my posts, instead it sends me notifications to things I’ve reacted to, so I’m being spammed with notification requests for things I don’t want notifications for. Perhaps I’m missing something, but it seems like the settings are too basic, it makes me not want to use the app. I guess for now I’ll just turn off all notifications. There’s a pop up that says “oh you might miss out on <insert whatever>”, but I suppose missing out is better than being bombarded by unnecessary notifications. It would also be nice to prioritize categories, so that I could receive only notifications for specific categories. Perhaps some people like to buy from their neighbors, but that is considered low priority to me, so I would prefer not to see posts. Am I just missing something or does that feature not exist? -
Awesome APP why didn’t any think of this sooner?!?
Ok so let’s admit it, community and neighborhood values have changed in the past days 10 years. We no longer know our neighbors it’s just not the same. Technology may be part of the reason why, amongst other reasons too but hey if technology is keeping neighbors isolated and not out talking to one another then why not use it to our advantage right? .. and that is why I appreciate this App so much. It’s a place to share good news, bad news, warnings/alerts... missing pets/items...offer refer promote or inquire about services ... pitch ideas and generally just communicate with one another. It helps maintain a safer surrounding Keeps people aware and informed and I guess is the new way to be a neighborhood.. take what I can get but I have to admit so far there’s been at least 3 incidents in which this app has benefited me personally ... it’s great. Get your neighborhood involved guys.. it can’t hurt but I can help. Totally recommend the neighborhood app...at least check it out. Thanks to the developers ... one app I’m sure of is this one. Love it!

Unkind Comments & inappropriate language
I check this site several times a day & love to see what’s happening in our area. Sometimes I can help people, or at least encourage them when they have a problem. However, yesterday I was dismayed at the response of one of the “founding” neighbors as he made extremely disheartening comments to a lady who was fearing that a crime may be coming her way due to a man who had escaped from prison. The comments even used the “F” word (though he spelled it out) on this site which was inappropriate language for this wholesome site. How disappointing it was to me & to the lady his comments were directed toward. He simply caused more distress for her as she was already fearing that an uncomfortable event could take place in her own home that very night! Fortunately, our law enforcement officers did a great job apprehending the suspect before he had a chance to reach her. She had simply asked her neighbors to kindly look out for anyone suspicious near her home. Isn’t that exactly what this site is all about - Neighbors helping & being good neighbors? -
Oakland FD
I have lived here in Montclair for almost 25 years; and since Nextdoor has been available, it is beneficial to read about happenings I might not have been ptivy to; like all of the problems wotg the Oakland Fire Dept this year—- OFD is more stringent this year than they were after the great fire of 1991 of which I was here—-This is only the second time in all that time I have been cited; and years ago one did not get fined on reinspection if one got cited; what woukd happed is that a crew would come in and bring your property compliant and OFD would bill u; also OPD would post a letter on your door if u were compliant or not ; now one has to go online or now u get a letter in the mail with no phone number to call and get an explabation: how unethical is that—- Also, I have seen properties in my neighborhood that are not compliant and the work is never done and they are still not in compliance in October—-I say favorites are being played—- Tree branches have to be cut to at leadt 10 feet off the ground; no bushes next to trees so as to stop the ladder effect for fires—- -
Great way to get information
I heard about this through the Twitter announcement by Mayor Spano and decided to sign on because I had wanted to get information about events that occur in my neighborhood especially issues that I felt were not being discussed on other sites directly. I had just signed on right before that incident where a tree fell down knocking down poles and transformer right at end of my block creating not only a power outage but eliminated any egress from street by anyone who didn’t have access to a car. Using this app got me more information than I got trying to ask those emergency workers plus I was able to get notice as to emergency directly to correct police department better than trying to call in. It is not completely perfect as some people use this as a venue to advertise services but I do get a better view of what’s happening in my neighborhood plus know which neighbors really care about the neighborhood. -
Nextdoor app
Update, May 2018: This was the first time I used this app for selling items. It was not to hard to post my items for sale, but after that the app was very confusing. There is nothing there that says "clearly"..do you want to make a change to your post. There is nothing that I found that let's you clearly state that you are discounting an item. There is also no clearly marked area that says that you can just remove your post. Because many people do not always reply, I thought that my replies to them were getting lost so I started also posting on another selling site. On the positive, I sold 3 out of four furniture items I posted and the people who showed up were really nice and it was a pleasure doing business with them. It is just frustrating when people say they are coming and you wait all day for them but they never send you a message telling you they changed their mind. I would really appreciate clearer instructions on changing and removing posts. I am not a real techi person and need all the help I can get. My first post: Concept is great. Has a few glitches but because of thoughtful neighbors I have been kept informed about activities going on in neighborhood, some good some bad. I don't feel alone knowing there are others out there in our neighborhood watching our backs and keeping us up to date. -
I love knowing what’s up in the neighborhood.
Nextdoor is the app that lets you know what’s going on! Not all over the city, unless that’s what you want but right there in your neighborhood. So when your neighbors son start selling these glorious avocados off the family tree, you’ll know. If somebody breaks into two cars on your street, you’ll know. If your favorite restaurant is shutting down and you better get up there early before they go, you’ll know. When the new restaurant arrives and they’ve got bona fide New York Pizza, you’ll now. The day after you decide that you want to transition your bed to all white, you’ll find a beautiful new in bag all white comforter right there on the next-door app. So I love it and evidently police officers do too because crime stats also get past it and neighbors that are looking out for each other have less of a crime to begin with so there you have it do next door! -
Nextdoor neighbor communist
What a joke! If the conversation is filled with juvenile behavior combined with marshmallow, cotton candy, s’mores, etc. you will all get along. But if you dare try to comment on a post ( you did not initiate), and disagree in an intelligent manner, you consistently have the TEACHER moderator monitoring the thread and reporting all comments that are disagreeable and having your thread deleted along with getting you kicked off of NDN really NDC. No freedom of speech, just a smoke screen for indoctrination of communism! NDN-NDC should just mute conversation and only allow posts for informational purposes only, for the Supposed neighbors using the app can’t swallow anything that is nit full of sugar! What do you expect the NDN - NDC is based out of Far Left Liberal San Francisco who now can’t call a felon a felon and a rapist a rapist! Drug addicts and mentally ill infest the city along with illegals murdering people on the pier, feces & urine, syringes now have their own app, Muriel’s depicting history are being systematically destroyed by being painted over and no plastic, plastic bags, straws, or freedom of CHOICE does not exist in SF! And we come back to Next Door Communist would you expect anything different! Delete it! Speak to your neighbors face to face. As your freedom of speech is retained in a real conversation with a variety of difference of opinions! The real deal! -
Ugly new icon “n” with a hook, otherwise great app
Guys change the icon back or at least a house roof with the letter “n” under it. The new icon image is ugly. Otherwise it’s a great app! Someone contacted me through this app who happened to get my 3 large packages delivered to his home. We just happen to have the same number but not the same street. Mail-man must have been on his meds or something! lucky for me I was able to go and pick them up. Good thing too because I had previously called the post office and they said they have it marked as delivered and there’s nothing they can do about it. Wow! (Which I later found out you can ask for gps tracking drop off location!) So I would have been screwed had I not been registered in this app. Plus I like to post items for sale. Not as good as offerup but good enough. Gets enough traffic.

Good app with great ideas! Can be very informative. There are many, nosy, busy bodies that as too many questions! Why were the police three doors down from me for three hours?

Great App but some bugs lately
I'm a Lead for Nextdoor and yesterday while trying to report a post, which is part of my job as a Lead, it kept diverting me out of the app to the internet page instead of the next step in the app. I wasn't the only Lead this was happening to. The internet page didn't have a submit button so I had to go back to the app and it was an endless cycle back and forth between the app and the internet page. When trying to report the problem, I found that there's no "Contact Us" in the app which I find quite inconvenient if you're having a problem. I think the developers should put a Contact Us link at the bottom of the Help menu so that Leads who need to do their jobs can get help immediately without the hassle of searching for a way to report a problem. Finally after searching through the Help via the website, I was able to find a way to report the problem. Other than this complication, I find the app very useful and easy to use. I wish more of the Leads Tools, that are on the mobile site were in the app too. -
It's ok
The app is a good way to connect with neighbors in a new place that you moved to. For me I loved it a few years back. I moved to new state far from where I grew up so I needed the connection. During this pandemic my my my the crazies came out and spread so much misinformation and hate. So many people on there making false statements making others want to correct them like me. Then they bully you. I had to defend myself on there. I felt like it was a second Facebook. I quickly deactivated my account then thought no I need the connection living in a rural area. So I went back on with a new profile picture new name. Wish I could take my street name off. I made it as private as I could get and didn't add any information on there. Some is forced like street name. Someone needs to do something about the bullying on there and panic. It's unnecessary and dangerous . For now I'm just using to be informed I'm no longer interacting with anyone on there unless I ultimately have to. It won't be to defend myself. I will report bullying, panic and negative behaviors . -
What I love about Next Door & some suggestions.
I love having access to so much local news. I often find places I’d like to go, see and learn about traffic jams, crime, missing and found pets etc. I have at this point only 2 suggestions. The For Sale keeps and repeats items for many months and each time a price goes down, the earlier listing & prices are still there. The other suggestion is about a volunteer group that I like a lot. It is a dog rescue and they find homes for dogs every week. One very positive place for them to get is on Next Door, I found them here because of the dogs they were showing. Apparently someone cuts their notices off saying they are inappropriate. They certainly are the kind of information I would like to see. Everyone at Rufus Rescue is a volunteer, they work very hard, the reward is a positive one, finding a home from some neglected, abused or lost dogs. On the other hand, it’s costs (has, neutering, veterinarian fees, food, supplies ......) are enormous. They recoup some of the veterinarian fees etc., through donations and ask a small fee to adopt- doesn’t cover a fraction of what they need to spend. They rely on donations from good hearted folks and just eat some personal expenses individually. I repeat, they are all volunteers. This is a group which should be allowed on Next Door each time, or at the very least, the person who blocks them should be identified and explain why they are blocking this group. Thank you, Virginia -
Unexpected Side Effect
This app itself is a great concept, and is executed well. Neighbors are able to community quickly and effectively in a way that is not possible on other social networking apps. I have no complaints with the app or the function of the app itself, all works well and is easy to navigate. My only complaint (which is not at the fault of any of the developing team or app creators) is just that this app will really REALLY open your eyes as to who you live next door to. I’ve found that people from my neighborhood and people from my whole town actually, are terribly racist. Once again, not anything negative on the app itself, it’s just that this social network DOES give some people a platform to speak openly when they really shouldn’t be given that platform. Some of my neighbors post what they think to be funny jokes but what are really racist or homophobic slander or prejudice. This comes, I’m assuming, mostly becuase I live in a very conservative area in Texas. Great app, hate my neighbors! -
Not as great as it was
NextDoor is is fabulous, because it connects neighbors to each other. Ours is great because the city is also active on the network, and watches the hot topics. I've had some minor issues with the app, but overall, it's good! Update: Recent complaints are that there seem to a contingent of angry people who want to turn everything into negative political yelling. It's sad that even a neighborhood site has gotten wrapped up in the current nastiness. I also disagree with the management of Nextdoor about not allowing our city reps to answer questions. It's much worse to allow conjecture, gossip, and misinformation, than to just let the city representatives answer questions. Finally, what the heck did you do with Recommendations? They no longer show up as an option! I had to fiddle with it to find a single section! You push us to recommend businesses, then you hide them. I agree with other reviews. Your updates have been terrible. Talk to users! Not programmers! -
Fantastic App lets you meet you neighbors
This app has been very helpful, interesting and fun. One suggestion is to have a “how to use section” be one of the first windows you open up once you have logged in...if you already have this type of page ...then my bad. I am still very new and still learning about how to use it. I have not used the section where you can communicate with others but I love it - especially your offer to send postcards for you. I am so grateful to this app for letting me connect to other people who share the same interest. We’ve already met and started a group. Now we just need to find a place to meet on a regular basis. This is where my next suggestion comes from. Create a list of public places that might be willing to allow groups to meet at their facility. Thank you for this app which lets people have an easy, safe way to communicate what is occurring in their neighborhood and meet other people. -
Great App to get get plugged into your neighborhood
I think this is a great app to communicate with your neighbors. By defining your neighborhood based on a specific geographic area - you know exactly what and where your neighborhood is. You can get and give info specific to your neighborhood - increasing a sense of unity and community amongst the neighbors you may not know or interact with otherwise. You can also plug into other neighborhoods and a a higher town or city level. Personally - i feel like I am more a part of my neighborhood now (using this app) than I have in the 15+ years living here. I am much more informed of the news and issues specific to my neighborhood and I definitely feel safer knowing that we all are watching out for each other. Like any app, the data in it is as good as the data entered into it - bad data in = bad data out. And common courtesies and "treat others as you would want to be treated" always apply. -
Informative app; Some very useful features
It has very good features, but it definitely can be improved. For one, there is an “lead“ for each neighborhood that is supposed to monitor activity to make sure that TOS is followed. Summer better than others. Second, there should be more sections Available for people who want to talk politics, religion, men’s issues, women’s issues etc. that don’t belong in the general section. It’s easy to get caught up in politics in the general section, and then people get turned off my the posts. Lastly, there are some of us who have dual Loggins for different neighborhoods, especially if you work in one neighborhood, or own a business in that neighborhood, and live in another like I do. Switching back-and-forth between neighborhoods requires you to log out of one and then log back into another. There should be Some way of flipping between the two easily. Just my two cents. -
Ads are annoying
I love this app for keeping in touch with what’s going on in my neighborhood. Around 70% of my neighborhood uses the app in some capacity. Luckily, most people post things like lost pets and warnings of thieves present, ice on a sidewalk, or looking for recommendations—not people trying to constantly sell things. I hope it stays that way. My one problem is that the ads are very annoying. Many of them are not relevant to me at all, for example advertising a business to me (I live in Kansas) that is located in California only. And many times they are click-bait, pseudo-science health ads which annoy me even more. Then when you hide the ad, you are redirected to the top of the home screen and have to scroll all the way back to where you were. Plus there is an ad for every 5 posts it seems like, that’s a lot. I understand ads are to help keep the app free but the implementation of them needs work.
-
Love the concept of the app and the ability to connect with your neighbours, but it keeps freezing on me, and everytime open it, I get a pop up screen that my hubby doesn't get. I've been trying to add my topics but the more buttons dont work so I can't add them. If this can be fixed and the pop up stops popping up, I'll change my review to 5 stars
-
It's ok. NEEDS A DARK THEME! Pages too bright and wear on battery. Don't enjoy using it very much. Fingerprint security login feature? Too many redundant ads. Seems Newsfeed not always in order. Also get duplicate listings for the same items and postings. No way found to access the "About" section for the community. No tab for list of local area Leads in the Lead Tools like there is in the web version.

When I contacted customer care about the issue, they said they could do nothing, as this was their policy. Hmmmm.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but it seems like the settings are too basic, it makes me not want to use the app. I guess for now I’ll just turn off all notifications. There’s a pop up that says “oh you might miss out on <insert whatever>”, but I suppose missing out is better than being bombarded by unnecessary notifications. It would also be nice to prioritize categories, so that I could receive only notifications for specific categories. Perhaps some people like to buy from their neighbors, but that is considered low priority to me, so I would prefer not to see posts. Am I just missing something or does that feature not exist? -
Disappointed
When I first joined I joined because I assumed I would be informed in my area of new business openings in town, services needed, companies nearby, etc. My experience has been the complete opposite. The neighbors in a nearby community are very toxic and negative bickering back and forth - it’s worse than Facebook high schoolers. The neighbors take up the majority of the feed and lash at each other which I believe should be against the community guidelines, not to mention both sms messages and emails were coming in filled with these particular messages. I was looking for Nextdoor to be a helpful resource but for some reason I cannot turn that particular part off. I unfortunately live too close to that neighborhood and it continues to pop up so I have decided to sign off the app, unsubscribe all, and delete it completely. I would love the option to be able to block that community so I can get back and enjoy the app the right way. It’s really a shame. This is a great app for families in need of many things that other neighbors provide. I can only hope that maybe I am using the app wrong and don’t know how to turn off that part. Thanks -
App getting annoying in a few ways
Although I still enjoy using this app, there are two aspects that have made it incredibly frustrating. The first is that moderators/leads have way too much leeway to police the messages being posted, and removing things at will, often times without any warning or explanation. While I completely agree with the need to have people overseeing the content, too often it feels like leads are allowed to do whatever they want, including removing things that do not align with their own personal beliefs, or ideas of a business recommendation. Second, and this one is huge, why does the app keep resorting the order of things that are posted? I open the app on my phone, and the first entry is about horses (for example). I close the app, open it right back up, and now that same posting for horses is 15 entries down. At the very least users should have a choice on the way entries are sorted, because right now I’m finding postings that haven’t had a new comment added to them higher up then new postings from today. And this issue is severely impacting the user-friendliness of the app. -
Pretty good app, but annoying to access
I have been on this app for a year or two now. It is good for reports of criminal activity and seems to be good for people looking for recommendations for craftsmen, etc. it is, however, very annoying to sign in and only be able to read one post before being required to sign in again ! To the point it is not worth the trouble to sign in at all. This seems to possibly being worked on, because for several days now I have been able to read a whole string of different postings on different subjects with only one sign in required. If that is to continue, Thanks! The only real annoyance for me is the many, many URGENT postings only to read that someone sees a dog or cat wandering down the street unaccompanied. This is not URGENT in the overall daily workings of life to me, but I always read the ones marked URGENT in case someone has lost a child or a grandpa with dementia has wandered from home or there is a gas leak and neighbors should evacuate, etc. if neighbors would reduce the use of urgent s when it is really not a life or death matter, I would consider the whole thing less of a waste of time. -
Crashed on me twice while replying to post
Two things: Just now—I was about finished leaving feedback to an interesting neighborhood post and the app blacked out on me and closed on its own. While the content of my reply was still fresh in my head, I reopened the app, found the post, and was finishing quickly typing in feedback and about to hit enter, when the thing blacked out and quit on me again. Why is this happening? When EDITING my For Sale ads—all the photos that are originally part of the sale ad (I was selling my car) get wiped out once finished with editing. For example, I remembered more useful detailed car description that I wanted to include in my ad after I had posted it, so went in, typed, saved, and boom, photos gone. Every time I had to delete the ad and repost new one so photos would be there. (head shaking in disbelief). This is the only app that does this behavior. When comparing it to my same for sale ad on OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, CraigsList, all photos staying put when editing content. If other apps can make this work, it only makes common sense for Nextdoor app developer...

Unable to set up a profile because when I go to my text messages to get the 4 digit code, the page I was on... disappears. It then takes me back to the beginning of sign up. So I changed my text notifications so that I can preview the text without having to go back to messages. That worked, but I changed my address and it keeps wanting to send a postcard to my old address. Hot mess.

No real privacy
You have no ability to choose not to display your full name. They prohibit anything other than your complete name. You have virtually no privacy at that point their support states it’s because it’s how you introduce yourself to complete strangers. But, I choose what information I give to complete strangers up and including if I am going to share my last name. I find it disgusting that they force it to be shown on the site not allowing the user to decide how much information of theirs is displayed. You can run the site and do a verification process while still allowing people personal display preferences. It’s disgusting and sorry but it’s perfect breeding ground for killers, serial killers, rapist and other. People get your name and your town and if they read enough of your comments I am sure they can use it for a hunting ground so sorry that I think the practice of not allowing someone privacy is disgusting. I thought the app would be great but it is a little to fascist to me. Until they allow some privacy measures for their users I won’t be utilizing this or any program of the like. I don’t introduce my entire name and area I live in to complete strangers especially not online. Not even my Facebook displays all identifying markers for people. So sorry I think this app needs to remember that there are sick people out there and they are helping not hindering those sickos. -
It's gone the way of the almighty dollar. Original developer probably sold to a major company. It's now nothing but ads, ads, ads! Even if you get past the ads, you have to deal with out of order posts regardless of the newsfeed preference settings. I don't recommend using this app, but unfortunately I don't know of another like it.

Good intent but not beneficial to the community
I’ve had this app for over a year. While the app is useful for certain things going on in your personal community, you find there can also be a negativity by those close to you. In the year that i had the app I post only one single communication which was to find shelters near me that I could donate clothing to rather than dropping them to a Goodwill or other for profit organizations. The intent was to donate items to people in need in my community rather than give them to mass organizations that in turn use those items for profit. In less than 24 hours of me posting my single post, my entire account was suspended because I chose not to disclose my last name. I believe that info was not relevant to my intent to benefit my community however, someone within my community complained that my last name was not posted & Nexdoor chose to delete my account based of that complaint. I’ve read multiple posts over the past year about petty things such as how to get rid of the homeless or how annoying cyclist are but I find myself suspended for not providing my personal information which was only noticed from a post meant to help my community. This app supports those that only have negative complaints about the communities it serves but does not support those actively trying to help those in need within those communities. -
Your satisfaction will depend on your expectations
I’ve been a Nextdoor user for several years. I’ve found it to be an excellent place to post things I have for sale (as long as they’re not vegetables from my garden, eggs from my chickens, quilts I’ve made, etc.). My neighbors have also kept me informed about various criminal activities in the area, events that might disrupt my commute, contractors both good and questionable, and opening dates for new businesses. On the other hand, discussions about serious and meaningful topics are often flagged for removal, even if the discussion is lively and respectful. Nextdoor policies also prohibit neighbors posting services they offer (babysitting, dog walking, house-sitting, etc.) unless the person creates a business page (a bureaucratic tangle few individuals are willing to navigate). Finally, it’s entirely too easy to flag someone’s post without first contacting them to explain the problem. So, if all you’re looking for is an online forum to learn about which roofers are dependable or get rid of that old furniture cluttering up your garage, you’ll be happy with Nextdoor. If you’re thinking you’ll have a place to discuss the positions of your local elected representative or the merits of proposed legislation, or let everyone nearby know about your side business, you’ll likely be disappointed. -
Their information is not up to date
I received an email stating my account with Next door was suspended, when I emailed back and inquired why, they state I have a sex offender living with me and they sent me his file. First of all me my husband and daughter lived in Cloverleaf forest which is a campgrounds so everyone in there uses 910 N Broad Street, however everyone has different lot numbers. I don’t and never did have a sex offender living with us. So now it tells me in an email to contact the local sex registry and explain to them and they can do the proper paperwork to clear the household. I called them and they don’t do any paperwork for this. Ok there is no other way to contact next door to clear this up. Furthermore, I moved from 910 N Broad Street over a year ago and I live on the East Coast of Florida. I had next door app over in Cloverleaf when I lived there, so the community can keep each other informed of what is going on in the neighborhood. So when I moved and I got a new phone I have not used the app in quite some some almost a year. But they suspend me and any household accounts related to that old address!!! Not sure what to do next since their local sex registry can’t help me. I don’t even know the guy in the file that next door sent to me. Any suggestions would be great and helpful I sure don’t need this crap following me my family and family name. -
The new interface is uninviting, the new icon is kind of unappealing, and I really miss the way it used to have a "thank" button. Now it says "like" as if it were trying to be YouTube or Facebook or something :-( The stream seems like it's made out of commercials now too. Lots of clutter. If it ain't broke don't fix it...

Poorly monitored/managed application for neighbors that truly care about their neighborhoods
First off they allow ads for puppies and kittens To be given away for free. It’s a known fact that this encourages those looking for bait for training their fighting dogs and good for their large snakes to pick up these animals. Applications that care about the welfare of animals do not allow ads that list them as free for this simple fact. Secondly the application is full of ads for all kinds of items pasted in between the posts. Thirdly I wrote a post asking my neighbors if they knew when google fiber was going to be installed in my neighborhood as their contractors had put up “no parking “ signs in front of all our homes two weeks ago but no one had started working. I stated in my post that I was asking because I had contractors coming to work on my home that would have to park in front of my home and that I had called the construction hotline provided to us but they did not know when the work would start or who was going to be doing the work so I couldn’t even try calling the contractor to ask. Next door sent me an email an hour after I posted this stating they removed my post because it was “soapbox “. Not sure how that is determined but definitely not an app that is interested in neighbors gathering and sharing information that is pertaining to them. -
I enjoyed nextdoor for a little while until the new email verification to sign in was implemented. It takes 10 hours for the email to arrive, long past the 30 minute timer. As a result, I've been unable to change my account to my new neighborhood. Now I have irrelevant emails for my old neighborhood I can't stop. Not signing up again for new neighborhood unless this gets rectified.

Nextdoor is a fraud
I created a business page to promote my local landscaping business. It was great for awhile. I got lots of messages and calls from my neighbors for my services. I got good reviews. I was recommended by a lot of people. I posted once every other day and did not message anyone unless they inquired. I kept getting emails saying I was violating guidelines or something and that I needed to create a business page, which my page already was. The messages also said my posts were deleted, but they weren’t, so I was confused. I thought it was just a generic message or an error. One day I made a post, and a “lead” or “administrator” messaged me on the app. That’s what he claimed he was. He said I need to stop posting advertisements. Kept sending me a link to the rules and terms. Basically he said I could not advertise and if I wanted to advertise, I needed to create a business page. After a couple messages back and forth with this person trying to figure out what he was talking about or what I was doing wrong , this person finally realized it was my business page. So he started back peddling saying Nextdoor wants no one advertising, ever. He told me the rules and regulations are misleading. The next day, I was blocked out my account. All my customers are outraged as am I. I cannot contact several of my customers. I lost out on a lot of business.

IOS 14 Apple
Ever since I downloaded the new IOS 14 the app now tells me no signal -
Bleh
I hate it would not let me make an account -
Just joined
Not impressed so far. For one thing, a lot of people live nearby but you have the name of my neighborhood wrong which seems strange. -
What happened!
App would not allow me to edit posts. Every attempt to add a comment below my post to explain a correction NEXT DOOR blocked and would not add comment. I UPDATED my app thinking maybe app was out of date. NOW I cannot even get on! I am stuck in a loop to accept site T&C. Used to be a great app! Very disappointed! -
No privacy, annoying partial emails
You have to use your full name. I have never posted and will never post with my full name. They send you an email when someone posts, but it only has the first couple sentences. To see the full message, you click on it, and then.... the app opens. If I want to look at messages in the app, I will. If you’re going to bother sending me an email, just put the whole message in the email.

This app could be really cool. But sadly it is just manly frustrating. It has a major lag so you are spending forever waiting around for pretty much anything. Not able to set a profile picture cuz the app won't load my galleries for my phone. To the developers, you guys have a great idea but y'all just need to work out a lot of the bugs. Thanks hope this helps

If you can wade through all of the ads, then you'll find some useful posts from your neighbors. Would like to see a dark mode so it's easier on the eyes at night in bed when the missus is yelling for me to turn off the lights. 2 stars bc of the sheer volume of ads and no dark mode.
-
I really wanted to like this app. But instead of neighborhood posts it's nothing but ads. I see as many as 5 ads between neighborhood posts. There's really great potential here for something useful and positive but right now it's just a place to look at ads. No thank you.
-
I wish it was better.
While this app is extremely useful for living in a rural community like I do, it’s not a very good app. It’s hard to keep my dashboard preferences intact. To be kept up to date with local emergencies, I need it to be in chronological order. It will be in order chronologically for a short time, but generally when I refresh the app I get random posts each time, including some that are weeks old with barely any activity. On top of that, as others have said, some posts will be removed even though conversation remained civil and on topic. These post and comment removals are seemingly random? On the other hand, when a neighbor posts blatant and dangerous misinformation about covid-19, the post will stay up despite it being reported under the specific category of Covid-19 misinformation. Most Facebook groups are run better than this. I want this app to work properly so bad. It’s glitchy, and notifications are weird, no matter what you set your preferences to. This app is very useful and important to have in a community like mine, where important information on wildfires and other emergencies are shared. It has potential. But definitely has some extremely annoying shortfalls. -
Would be good if glitches are fixed. Firstly, stop with the "thanks for downloading Nextdoor" pop up every time I open the app - it's been a month! Secondly, fix the glitch is messages which leaves me with hundreds of the same message duplicated. It's becoming unusable.
-
The app is useful for getting neighborhood info, updates, and alerts. But the main feed is almost unreadable, full of a jumble of advertisements and "posts from Nextdoor" amongst neighbors' posts. FULL of annoying glitches, like replies to posts never loading when first opened or profile/family member pictures not updating despite being uploaded multiple times.

The app keeps getting worse as it tries to improve
I don’t use this app often, but when I do I’m becoming increasingly frustrated with it. I get app notifications that show up as numbers on the bell icon, but there’s been nothing new there for weeks. It appears the notifications should actually be for the inbox or even the main message board. Additionally, my feed is supposed to be restricted to my neighborhood, but I keep seeing posts from other neighborhoods. I can understand this if it’s in a category I’ve chosen to follow (although I still think the neighborhood restrictions should supersede the categories). But what is even more frustrating is I see posts from other neighborhoods from categories I don’t even follow. For example, I keep seeing posts on Gardening & Landscaping, which is a category I didn’t think I followed. Sure enough, when I view that category, my options are to “Follow” or “Invite.” I’m a Nextdoor admin for my neighborhood, and I find it a worthwhile enough resource as a supplement to our neighborhood’s Facebook group (and actually to invite new Nextdoor people to our FB page), but the latest rounds of “improvements” are making me not want to use it. -
Had to downgrade my rating
Edited June 2018: Now that NextDoor has exploded in popularity, the quality has gone way down. The “Leads” need to be more like moderators were in the days of internet message boards. In those days, the moderators were the ones to be on the lookout for posts that violated the rules of the board. NextDoor, instead, chooses to go the route if requiring neighbors to snitch on neighbors when they’re violating rules of the website/app. Since no one wants to be that guy, NextDoor is now riddled with self-promotion posts. Ruins the entire experience for me. Combine that with all the chicken-little “suspicious van” posts that never spell out what makes it “suspicious” and the “OMG I saw a coyote we’re all going to die!!!” posts that NextDoor has no control over, and I find myself wading through a whole bunch of junk and rule-breakers just to get to a few interesting tidbits. Just no longer worth my time. ————————- Suddenly the "stop receiving immediate updates" on mail has stopped working. Although as I type this I realize it may not be the app but the website that's not getting the memo. I did go into the app to unsubscribe, hopefully that works. Still a great website and app, though. -
In the beginning
I suppose this app was a good idea at one time but it has morphed into an unsupported mess. As others have noted, support is very bad. I was having a problem with the app on my phone. It would open up to a blank page and not populate the posts. So after signing out of app, deleting it, turning my phone off, standing on one foot, giving the side eye whilst turning everything back on it still wouldn’t work. After 20 days support wrote back something to the effect “hmm that’s weird” and that was that. Then there are the leads who are chosen willy nilly perhaps plucked from a nut tree. What do they do exactly? One of mine enjoys video taping cars in the neighborhood that they deem driving badly. They post a picture of a vehicle they are behind with license plate then publicly shame the driver. How do we know that this is true or the lead harassing a neighbor? I think the leads should NOT be a person from the neighborhood but employee of NextDoor, moderator without a bone to pick. So to say something good about the app, I helped loads of neighbors find their run away dogs and horses, sold many items and have a good idea who all the trouble makers are and stay far away from them!

Not what I’d expect from nextdoor!!
So I have been a member or user for quite some time and I’ve posted multiple different things to sell from new to used never have I been restricted from signing in until now?? All because this woman who I’ve never met and doesn’t know a dam thing about me send me the most rude,judge mental, racist message but here I am the one paying the price for her actions which is why I rated this app a one star. Until the situation is properly taken care of and she is warned to stop bullying other member's on the app then I will change my rating but why am I restricted from signing in? I have always followed the rules and posted as according to the rules but because one woman bad mouths me and assumes based on no literal evidence that I am selling stolen goods. I’ve posted in general if I ever needed advice or help finding a local mechanic I’ve never bullied, never bad mouthed never broken the rules so why am I being restricted ?? Have you even consider looking into her part because I have reported her and have proof of the messages screen shot to my photos that I will be more than happy to show you (NextDoor) treat everyone equally nextdoor and I shouldn’t be assumed anything based on my profile pic or the color of my skin or do I look poor like I can’t afford the items I’m selling so the next bully has the right to assume? No not fair at all.
