It's hard to get connected with the neighbors in your community when you all work 8 hours a day. Bring the neighborhood watch meetings to your phone on an easy to use community chat platform.

Do you still have furniture that you purchased 2 years ago which you're not making use of? Find someone in your neighborhood who can make good use of the stuff you wish to give away. It's a great way to reach out to those close to you who could take advantage of your old items. more

A lot of people are interested in buying Girl Scout cookies but just don't know where to buy them aside from catching a troop outside their local grocery store. You can post about it on a neighborhood forum and sell 10 boxes to the families around the block in minutes. more

With 1000s of kids running around on Halloween night, some neighbors can get frustrated with the constant doorbell ringing, while others are handing out full-sized candy bars. Nextdoor lets you connect with neighbors so that you can post what type of candy you'll be handing out this year. more

If you're moving to a new country and don't know anyone, it's probably a good idea to at least start by meeting the people that live within a 10 block radius from you. This social network helps connect people in a specific neighborhood with online forums and meet-up opportunities. more

If you're trying to find your pet, he or she is probably within 5 to 10 miles from your house. Ask the neighbors quickly on a convenient group forum from your phone.

As a sociologist, one thing that you will do is connect with people. This app will help you with connecting with the people in your neighborhood beyond the ones who live in the 2 or 3 houses around you.

When you are new in the neighborhood and you don't know what's around, you want to get some recommendations from someone who's lived there for more than 5 minutes. That's why this app is so helpful.

No longer able to view app in landscape Dec 19, 2021

By Obie the great

One of your recent updates eliminated the ability to use the app in landscape view, only profile. I access the app on my iPad and always use landscape as it’s easier to balance the device and to read and access the features. I’m using the app less and less because of this change, hopefully you will bring back the versatility of accessing in either view. Overall it’s a good app and I enjoy it for the most part. Unfortunately there is a lot of ugliness and meanness that gets by way to often from “neighbors” as the leads evidently can’t keep up with it, reported or not. I think closer monitoring with more leads or other individuals would help minimize this. We as users can’t attempt to correct the people making any rude or mean comments as then we get reported and blocked, and users just reporting the comments and posts hasn’t eliminated those posts or comments quickly enough…if at all. If anyone blocks specific individuals then those individuals can still see those posts and continue harassing and making rude, threatening comments that we can no longer see or be aware of which isn’t right. So I don’t block anyone as I need to know how threatening they are getting…to not only me but to others as well. If people are suspended for bad behavior then the posts or comments that caused the suspension and were reported should automatically be deleted…permanently. They show back up again when someone is reinstated if not deleted. more
Deleted my thread on Covid which was a great thread. Feb 3, 2022

By kathkeane

Covid is killing people and I created a thread where people could help each other. You deleted it. I have a lot to say. First the idea is great. However you took down a thread that was possibly the most useful ever. I had created a thread where any neighbor could express their opinion about Covid and report their actual experience. It worked. People were reporting if the testing was accurate. They reported which drugs or otc meds they were using. They reported what equipment they needed to get through the sickness. They reported what their doctor said and what happened at the e r when they went. They reported on relatives who had died. We had many nurses chime in. IT WAS USEFUL. You deleted it and I never was clear why. You said it might discourage people from getting vaxed. Adults should have every piece of info available to make up their own mind. I recreated this thread without the comments and it was much less useful. I was actually crushed that you chose to take something away. Did you know doctors offer nothing? Did you know pharmacists have no drugs to offer? Did you know my entire family cheated death with 30 days or more of Covid? Do you know my daughter died from an immunization reaction? As did my friends daughter? It was a great and unique Covid thread that was a wonderful resource snd you destroyed it. Shame on you. more
Scrolling hitches Apr 12, 2022

By ObviousDWest

Update: I uninstalled the app (which said it would delete its data), restarted my phone, then reinstalled it. The first couple of times I ran the app, scrolling was smooth again. What was quite weird is: I didn’t have to log into NextDoor again. So it kept some of my data, somewhere (key store?). It did ask for permission to send notifications again. Anyway, let’s see if the scrolling problem builds up again. April ‘22 The scrolling hitches are still there. If you keep the panel moving slightly, even by dragging up and down, it will scroll smoothly through pages and pages of content. But the moment the panel stops completely, you cannot scroll at all for 3-5 seconds. Not can you hit buttons. The app doesn’t heat up the phone, so it’s not stuck in a loop. It just goes idle, and forgets to poll for input. Obviously, QA would have noticed this. So it must be an issue w iPhone 8, only. Maybe a bad assumption about equal update rates everywhere? I’m on the latest OS. March ‘22: The last few versions have a performance bug where scrolling hitches, and buttons are unresponsive for a moment. No other apps on my iphone8 are doing that. I love the service and seeing local posts. Also, it would be nice as an admin of a group to be able pin/unpin posts in the app. Right now, you can only do that on the web. more
Neighborhood App ( Review ) Aug 25, 2022

By glorberiz

Hi my name is Kamryn, I have just started using this app today on August 24, 2022. Might I add whilst said I have only just downloaded the app this evening and within half an hour I have already received notifications from different people needing help with work in their yard. I know this app is just a fun nice way to branch out and find what kind of groups you’d like to be a part of which is hard considering the app has over thousands of different groups for you to pick through. Maybe you want to volunteer to help over at the Shreveport Veterans Home Center, or something as simple as watching your neighbors dog for the weekend whilst they are out of town having the time of their lives knowing their pet is safely being taken care of in the comfort of their home and with the most trustable neighbor they could find too. Don’t take my word or anyone else’s about this app, not until you download it and try it out for yourself. Who knows maybe you could make some cash helping others, or even make friends along the way. The choice is yours, but just remember with the Neighborhood App you will always have a neighbor nearby when in need of assistance! more

App user beware! There is a feature within Nextdoor that allows it to send snail mail to your neighbors to join the app, and it will list your name and address if you dont turn it off. Go to your account, click on settings, and then privacy. At the very bottom of the page, you can toggle off the feature that allows Nextdoor to use your info to send invitation letters to neighbors. I do not like this feature, but other than that, the app is good. Contains ads. more
Way too many updates Feb 18, 2022

By Mike W

This is 11 updates in about a month. You should not be fixing this many bugs in production software, and I certainly don’t see that many improvements wing made. Version history should be an honest change log, not just the same canned text every time. My internet service is capped and for me to consume over 1Gb per month just for updates to one app is totally unacceptable. Previous review: This is my weekly review of what’s new in this update. Oh, never mind. Can’t find anything mentioned. So I won’t waste time updating the app. This is a revision of my original review. The version history for this app’s last 25 revisions is the exact same text. If you are adding features, then let us know what they are. If you are fixing bugs, then you need to do more internal testing before releasing the change to the public. I need to know what is changing before wasting my time and internet bandwidth on non-applicable updates. This app is useful to me and works well. However, I am annoyed by numerous apps that do a weekly update. Please do more internal testing so you don’t have to update all the time. I really don’t see much in improvements from week to week. I have a slow internet connection, so dealing with 50 apps that need updating all the time is a major pain. more
What kind of app is this? Feb 21, 2022

By Handlebars1959

Imagine for a minute or two, you have moved into a new neighbourhood and you don’t know anyone including any of your neighbors nearby. You’re right 100% and it’s scary to attempt it. I agree 100%. Your location found at the top will tell other whereabouts you live, not your exact address. Thank Goodness for that! In this app you will find people from all walks of life including those who use chose words (nasty words) and they will get corrected by other people who use this app. Complainers will get corrected too. If you post something and it doesn’t sound right to you, let us know and we will be glad to help out. Same goes for what kind of home service, electrical services, roof repair, etc’s to go to find the right person to help you out. You can think of this app as the yellow pages of your telephone book and never receiving a paper cut. So go ahead and use the services to the fullest and enjoy using this app and who knows you might even run into an old friend from your elementary school years like I have. Enjoy! more
Great app during a natural disaster Feb 17, 2018

By Rynayth

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. more
The good, the glitchy, and the bad customer care Apr 19, 2019

By Snazzy12

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
A very happy camper :-) Dec 30, 2022

By Doc T Miller

Being relatively new to this program and sometimes and sometimes not such a patient person for which I apologize :-) not only is this next-door program a wonderful program but the products you provide the platform that you offer I’m actually profoundly amazed. I have finally figured out to some degree it really works and I have a business page called grace for life ministries. You all worked very diligently and patiently with me to get it up and running and it is very sophisticated. The platform that you have provided I mean very sophisticated. I have a son with mental challenges and I now have physical disabilities after a recent surgery and I think the general message presented conceptually and verbally as a therapist after all these years is going to be kindness, compassion quality and generous thinking towards others in light of their needs. I think it fits with what you teach and would like now starting a very new year. thank you for all you doing for being so patient with me. Happy new year to you. Sincerely, Dr. Thomas R Miller PhD. more

Jan 27, 2023

By Jessica Pendley

What happened to this app? It used to be helpful and easier to use, now it's just disorganized and confusing! I can't ever find what I'm looking for. The UI is not intuitive whatsoever. I went in to feed settings and changed it to show "most recent posts" first, then it says my selection expires in 60 days?! What is the purpose of that? Also when I click on a notification, it NEVER takes me to the post, just opens up the main feed and I have to try and search for it, which almost never works. more
Jan 29, 2023

By Andrea B

This app is horrible. It's like Facebook if the algorithms didn't exist. It shows me posts from people far away, and I have a hard time finding stuff from the surrounding neighborhoods. Also, if you get a notification about a post, clicking it will open the app, but it won't take you to the post. Instead, you have to hunt for it like everything else. Easily the least user-friendly social media app ever made. more
Buggy, SLOOOOW, and where is everything??! Jun 24, 2022

By Nodangnickname,ok?

Nextdoor has become increasingly slower and buggier, and options that were easy to find before are now hidden and take several clicks to locate. You can swipe and swipe and swipe before the screen will actually scroll. Clicking on a post or image? Hurry up and wait, and half the time now the whole app freezes up. Even typing a comment is a monumental effort … I’ll have the entire sentence typed before it shows up on my screen. Then there’s the censors and moderation. I’m a neighborhood lead and have been for several years. I petitioned hard to become one. But then Nextdoor decided to dump a bunch of random people in as moderators. Many have absolutely NO idea what the rules regarding content even are! They’ll flag one word comments like, “Really?” as public humiliation. Because it was directed toward them or their pal. *true story* It’s frustrating to those of us who originally were tasked with this responsibility. Nextdoor’s auto-censor algorithms are utterly ridiculous too … flagging words like “stupid” or “jerk” and reminding us to be “nice.” 😐 Nextdoor: you have an awesome thing going here, great idea overall and content, but PLEASE bring back the earlier format! Speed things up, minimize the constant barrage of irrelevant ads, and go back to neighborhood leads only instead of all this random crap. I don’t expect a response to this review … Nextdoor isn’t real keen on that sort of thing either unfortunately. more
Jan 24, 2023

By Oleg T

While useful, there is no rhyme or reason to how posts show up on the home feed. Posts from "friends" across the street might take days to show up, if at all. Some posts generate notification emails, some don't. Sometimes, cannot even comment on city-wide posts even though my neighborhood is in the city limits. Frustrating to use, limited value, every second post is an ad. more
Jan 22, 2023

By David Beebe

This app is nothing like what it used to be. I recently reactivated my account from a few years ago and I had to double check to make sure this was the same app. It's horrible! I see posts from neighborhoods several miles away. Posts are not in order by date, there's no option to filter or sort. This app has went down hill considerably and it's shown in all the recent reviews. more
Jan 25, 2023

By Reese Smith

When notifications work, they're usually to old posts where no one has commented in 24 hours... But 90% of the time, the notification doesn't even open the post - just the app home page. And search is bad, so good luck finding what you wanted to see. People helped look for my cat once so I added a star for that (he came back on his own). Edit: I tried to contact, but the reply link takes me to a questions page w/ no relevant options. I'm not the one with the questions. more
These guys have no clue how to write a decent app Sep 20, 2022

By Phoenix2000

They’ve “revamped” the app so now you can only see the latest few of your saved items, anything past the few they show is now completely inaccessible. The new app design is awful, it takes a bunch more taps and scrolling to do what used to just be a couple taps. I primarily use this for the stuff for sale, and they’ve completely messed it up, tons more painful to use and everything is much harder to use! The app is very spammy, because you don’t have anyway to exclude topics you aren’t interested in, only to “follow” to see everything. For example, it seems like half the posts are about pets, which I have no interest in, but also no way to disable. There's no way to disable notifications for just one thread, so any thing you ever do or participate in, you'll get harassed and inundated with a barrage of notifications for any active conversation. The only other alternative you have is to never participate in any thread to avoid the barrage of notifications. Yeah, that's an incredibly "smart" way to build a social-type app. Not! And even though the app supposedly has notifications settings, it seems to ignore them because I keep getting notifications for types of things I’ve clearly disabled. Because of this I have to keep notifications for the WHOLE app turned off, which means I don't see important stuff going on, which really makes the app pretty useless to me. more
Jan 21, 2023

By Chad Magee

Sure to put functionality and the inability to have this moderated I'll probably uninstall this app. The MOST infuriating aspect of this app is the fact that when zi click on a notification I want to read, it opens the app and DOESN'T take me to the notification! Then it's no where to be found in the feed. Secondly, the filters don't work! For instance... I used the 'Most recent' filter setting and a post from two days was above one from 15 minutes ago. Fix this! more
Dec 27, 2022

By Mary Morgan

ND used to be awesome! Recent changes have made it impossible to find what I'm looking for and it's awful. Will uninstall unless they change back. It's worthless in it's current state. Update: I reinstalled to help look for a lost dog. Still impossible to find what you're looking for and the most intrusive notifications I've ever seen from an app before. I finally was able to figure out how to disable the worst one through a reddit post. Nextdoor "help" is also useless. more
Dec 6, 2022

By Simon Ross

I've really wanted this app to be the resource I feel it could be, but the sheer number & frequency of ads ruin the user-experience. It continues needing a major UI overhaul, and an 'Ad-Free Subscription option needs to be offered. Otherwise, what could be a wonderful community sharing resource, remains a cluttered mess of way too many ads mixed in with a few posts dominated by busy-body, gossip types that create hostility & in-fighting. The UI has slowly improved, but still needs much work! more

Loving it so far! Sep 14, 2018

By Missypoo <333

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

By HollieM510

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

By Disappointed Neighbor

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
Life and Business Coach Dec 6, 2021

By Kathy Nelson

I’ve been a member of Nextdoor since it was launched in Carmel Valley etc. I’ve lived in Carmel Valley since the first homes were built by Baldwin and we only had a Ralph’s grocery store. My son’s statement at the time was “there’s no life east of I-5”. However, later as he went to Torrey Pines high school and played football, he found there was plenty of life. I have really enjoyed Nextdoor not only for communications with neighbors, but by being able to both get help and be helped by others, but also shopping for restaurants and other amenities and especially people’s recommendations, which has been very helpful. I find NextDoor both informative about our communities, finding the best services, helping other people with their needs and wants, and cherishing recommendations that turn out to be awesome! I’m looking forward to tapping into the business side of Nextdoor as well, since I work (now remotely) in my own Life & Business Coaching Business, On Track Success Coaching. Out of five stars, I give it a 5!!! more
Oakland FD Aug 2, 2019

By a sit down comic

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
Nextdoor Review Apr 20, 2021

By Pam Finster

I can’t tell you how many people I’ve referred to Nextdoor. I feel it’s an invaluable tool for anyone....especially those interested in their community and the all of us wellbeing of the people who live in it. I’ve met some phenomenal folks through sharing like interests, selling or buying things, or just doing some community service work myself. We even have a local police officer who lives in our neighborhood who looks after us even when he’s off duty and keeps us up to speed if anything suspicious is going on in our area and, in turn, we help the local police by informing them when we see something going on that they need to address. Thanks to Nextdoor our neighborhood has become a closer knit group and we recognize many of the names of the people who write in and many times knowing whether you respect their past responses or not can make a difference in some choices I make. Definitely NOT a social media gripe site...thank God!!! more

App user beware! There is a feature within Nextdoor that allows it to send snail mail to your neighbors to join the app, and it will list your name and address if you dont turn it off. Go to your account, click on settings, and then privacy. At the very bottom of the page, you can toggle off the feature that allows Nextdoor to use your info to send invitation letters to neighbors. I do not like this feature, but other than that, the app is good. Contains ads. more
Great App but some bugs lately Sep 27, 2018

By DreamerDawn

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
Generally works as expected Jul 24, 2022

By Docmoore

The app works pretty darn well. I've had no problems until recent iOS updates (I think). I am currently using iOS 15.6 and I find that I am unable to copy and paste into NextDoor reply fields. That is, if I am trying to reply to a post and I need to go find some information like the proper spelling of a name or something of that nature, I will generally cut the reply that I've already created and come back to it later when I have the information I need. I am able to cut with no issues, but I cannot re-paste it into the same reply data field. The characters I just cut should have ended up on my clipboard, but they do not. If I go to any other app and paste it, whatever is there from a previous cut/copy is the only thing on the clipboard. There is a similar issue where I am unable to highlight and copy text from anywhere in NextDoor. I'm fairly certain I could do that in the past and you can do that on almost all other apps on any platform. NextDoor probably needs an update to address this. more
It's ok Mar 30, 2020

By Shortcake 143

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

By VFV41

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 more
Unexpected Side Effect Apr 10, 2018

By @loganxfarmer

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
Not as great as it was Dec 15, 2017

By Storydrum

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! more

No longer able to view app in landscape Dec 19, 2021

By Obie the great

One of your recent updates eliminated the ability to use the app in landscape view, only profile. I access the app on my iPad and always use landscape as it’s easier to balance the device and to read and access the features. I’m using the app less and less because of this change, hopefully you will bring back the versatility of accessing in either view. Overall it’s a good app and I enjoy it for the most part. Unfortunately there is a lot of ugliness and meanness that gets by way to often from “neighbors” as the leads evidently can’t keep up with it, reported or not. I think closer monitoring with more leads or other individuals would help minimize this. We as users can’t attempt to correct the people making any rude or mean comments as then we get reported and blocked, and users just reporting the comments and posts hasn’t eliminated those posts or comments quickly enough…if at all. If anyone blocks specific individuals then those individuals can still see those posts and continue harassing and making rude, threatening comments that we can no longer see or be aware of which isn’t right. So I don’t block anyone as I need to know how threatening they are getting…to not only me but to others as well. If people are suspended for bad behavior then the posts or comments that caused the suspension and were reported should automatically be deleted…permanently. They show back up again when someone is reinstated if not deleted. more
Deleted my thread on Covid which was a great thread. Feb 3, 2022

By kathkeane

Covid is killing people and I created a thread where people could help each other. You deleted it. I have a lot to say. First the idea is great. However you took down a thread that was possibly the most useful ever. I had created a thread where any neighbor could express their opinion about Covid and report their actual experience. It worked. People were reporting if the testing was accurate. They reported which drugs or otc meds they were using. They reported what equipment they needed to get through the sickness. They reported what their doctor said and what happened at the e r when they went. They reported on relatives who had died. We had many nurses chime in. IT WAS USEFUL. You deleted it and I never was clear why. You said it might discourage people from getting vaxed. Adults should have every piece of info available to make up their own mind. I recreated this thread without the comments and it was much less useful. I was actually crushed that you chose to take something away. Did you know doctors offer nothing? Did you know pharmacists have no drugs to offer? Did you know my entire family cheated death with 30 days or more of Covid? Do you know my daughter died from an immunization reaction? As did my friends daughter? It was a great and unique Covid thread that was a wonderful resource snd you destroyed it. Shame on you. more
Scrolling hitches Apr 12, 2022

By ObviousDWest

Update: I uninstalled the app (which said it would delete its data), restarted my phone, then reinstalled it. The first couple of times I ran the app, scrolling was smooth again. What was quite weird is: I didn’t have to log into NextDoor again. So it kept some of my data, somewhere (key store?). It did ask for permission to send notifications again. Anyway, let’s see if the scrolling problem builds up again. April ‘22 The scrolling hitches are still there. If you keep the panel moving slightly, even by dragging up and down, it will scroll smoothly through pages and pages of content. But the moment the panel stops completely, you cannot scroll at all for 3-5 seconds. Not can you hit buttons. The app doesn’t heat up the phone, so it’s not stuck in a loop. It just goes idle, and forgets to poll for input. Obviously, QA would have noticed this. So it must be an issue w iPhone 8, only. Maybe a bad assumption about equal update rates everywhere? I’m on the latest OS. March ‘22: The last few versions have a performance bug where scrolling hitches, and buttons are unresponsive for a moment. No other apps on my iphone8 are doing that. I love the service and seeing local posts. Also, it would be nice as an admin of a group to be able pin/unpin posts in the app. Right now, you can only do that on the web. more
Way too many updates Feb 18, 2022

By Mike W

This is 11 updates in about a month. You should not be fixing this many bugs in production software, and I certainly don’t see that many improvements wing made. Version history should be an honest change log, not just the same canned text every time. My internet service is capped and for me to consume over 1Gb per month just for updates to one app is totally unacceptable. Previous review: This is my weekly review of what’s new in this update. Oh, never mind. Can’t find anything mentioned. So I won’t waste time updating the app. This is a revision of my original review. The version history for this app’s last 25 revisions is the exact same text. If you are adding features, then let us know what they are. If you are fixing bugs, then you need to do more internal testing before releasing the change to the public. I need to know what is changing before wasting my time and internet bandwidth on non-applicable updates. This app is useful to me and works well. However, I am annoyed by numerous apps that do a weekly update. Please do more internal testing so you don’t have to update all the time. I really don’t see much in improvements from week to week. I have a slow internet connection, so dealing with 50 apps that need updating all the time is a major pain. more
The good, the glitchy, and the bad customer care Apr 19, 2019

By Snazzy12

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
I’d give it a higher review if the notifications worked properly Jun 24, 2019

By Zelzega

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? more
Disappointed Nov 13, 2019

By Yairar

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 more
App getting annoying in a few ways Jul 9, 2020

By LaineyDel

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. more
Pretty good app, but annoying to access Aug 31, 2018

By Appreferee

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. more
Crashed on me twice while replying to post Mar 9, 2020

By flowologist

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... more

What happened to this app? It used to be helpful and easier to use, now it's just disorganized and confusing! I can't ever find what I'm looking for. The UI is not intuitive whatsoever. I went in to feed settings and changed it to show "most recent posts" first, then it says my selection expires in 60 days?! What is the purpose of that? Also when I click on a notification, it NEVER takes me to the post, just opens up the main feed and I have to try and search for it, which almost never works. more
Buggy, SLOOOOW, and where is everything??! Jun 24, 2022

By Nodangnickname,ok?

Nextdoor has become increasingly slower and buggier, and options that were easy to find before are now hidden and take several clicks to locate. You can swipe and swipe and swipe before the screen will actually scroll. Clicking on a post or image? Hurry up and wait, and half the time now the whole app freezes up. Even typing a comment is a monumental effort … I’ll have the entire sentence typed before it shows up on my screen. Then there’s the censors and moderation. I’m a neighborhood lead and have been for several years. I petitioned hard to become one. But then Nextdoor decided to dump a bunch of random people in as moderators. Many have absolutely NO idea what the rules regarding content even are! They’ll flag one word comments like, “Really?” as public humiliation. Because it was directed toward them or their pal. *true story* It’s frustrating to those of us who originally were tasked with this responsibility. Nextdoor’s auto-censor algorithms are utterly ridiculous too … flagging words like “stupid” or “jerk” and reminding us to be “nice.” 😐 Nextdoor: you have an awesome thing going here, great idea overall and content, but PLEASE bring back the earlier format! Speed things up, minimize the constant barrage of irrelevant ads, and go back to neighborhood leads only instead of all this random crap. I don’t expect a response to this review … Nextdoor isn’t real keen on that sort of thing either unfortunately. more
Jan 24, 2023

By Oleg T

While useful, there is no rhyme or reason to how posts show up on the home feed. Posts from "friends" across the street might take days to show up, if at all. Some posts generate notification emails, some don't. Sometimes, cannot even comment on city-wide posts even though my neighborhood is in the city limits. Frustrating to use, limited value, every second post is an ad. more
Jan 25, 2023

By Reese Smith

When notifications work, they're usually to old posts where no one has commented in 24 hours... But 90% of the time, the notification doesn't even open the post - just the app home page. And search is bad, so good luck finding what you wanted to see. People helped look for my cat once so I added a star for that (he came back on his own). Edit: I tried to contact, but the reply link takes me to a questions page w/ no relevant options. I'm not the one with the questions. more

Sure to put functionality and the inability to have this moderated I'll probably uninstall this app. The MOST infuriating aspect of this app is the fact that when zi click on a notification I want to read, it opens the app and DOESN'T take me to the notification! Then it's no where to be found in the feed. Secondly, the filters don't work! For instance... I used the 'Most recent' filter setting and a post from two days was above one from 15 minutes ago. Fix this! more
Users Spreading of Opinions Sprinkled with Misinformation and Flat Out Lies Sep 25, 2021

By nordalieh

I wish Nextdoor would fix this: users seem to be allowed to force their opinion of how others should use the platform and misquote or lie about the community guidelines. I have muted users who attempt hostility like this by using the “mute” feature but the muted users can still see my posts. I don’t want them to see my posts. They are not healthy people and I would really prefer the mute feature behave more like a block. I have seen an unprecedented number of authoritarian types attempting to control how others use your platform and ethically there is a problem with that. I believe we should follow your rules not individual rules made up by local bullies. If there was a way to stop this and have Nextdoor intervene when terms and conditions or community guidelines are misquoted by users then user engagement and traffic might go up and it would definitely create a more harmonious experience. Maybe an additional reporting option for misquoting your terms? I have essentially been bullied for standing up for others even though I correctly quoted your terms and conditions, community guidelines. What can be done to resolve this issue? I am 100% certain I am not the only one. Otherwise, I love this platform and would love to continue using it. more

This is a handy app to find Items or services to buy or sell in your area. Also handy for finding out what is going on locally. Unfortunately, IMO, the app is really just a scaled down, shittier version of disgusting FB. You can still form private groups, which are sometimes little hate groups, just like FB. I frequently have to Google to figure out how to do things on this app. Still cannot delete PMs and notifications that show up from all over the country. Very annoying. more
Your satisfaction will depend on your expectations Aug 19, 2018

By The Pragmatic Corvid

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
Needs some work Oct 14, 2022

By mjm630

Please add a rating feature for when users sell/buy. It would be great, if Nextdoor is linked to Facebook that ratings from ND would show up on Facebook too and vice versa Please add time stamps on the messages!!!!! Add a way to mark pending for items. Allow a way to share a profile so interested buyers can see items for sale Great for finds, staying connected, etc. Needs work though. App is kinda of glitchy. Especially in main feed. In messaging, if you’re in the inbox and someone messages , it doesn’t appear. And the first message is hidden unless you scroll down a bit. Shouldn’t be this way upon opening messages or when in inbox already. Also, there needs to be more clarity on how to stop receiving notifications on certain posts. I tried to do it and I accidentally blocked the person and can’t unblock them on phone. Maybe I can from a desktop. MOST RECENTLY- when I list items for sale, I copy and paste the info for the item I just listed elsewhere and Nextdoor no longer allows to copy and paste. VERY FRUSTRATING. FIX THIS PLEASE Also, please make it possible to share a link within Nextdoor to someone’s profile so potential buyers can see a person’s listings. Otherwise, I have to individually link each item. more

This app is horrible. It's like Facebook if the algorithms didn't exist. It shows me posts from people far away, and I have a hard time finding stuff from the surrounding neighborhoods. Also, if you get a notification about a post, clicking it will open the app, but it won't take you to the post. Instead, you have to hunt for it like everything else. Easily the least user-friendly social media app ever made. more

This app has went down hill considerably and it's shown in all the recent reviews. more
These guys have no clue how to write a decent app Sep 20, 2022

By Phoenix2000

They’ve “revamped” the app so now you can only see the latest few of your saved items, anything past the few they show is now completely inaccessible. The new app design is awful, it takes a bunch more taps and scrolling to do what used to just be a couple taps. I primarily use this for the stuff for sale, and they’ve completely messed it up, tons more painful to use and everything is much harder to use! The app is very spammy, because you don’t have anyway to exclude topics you aren’t interested in, only to “follow” to see everything. For example, it seems like half the posts are about pets, which I have no interest in, but also no way to disable. There's no way to disable notifications for just one thread, so any thing you ever do or participate in, you'll get harassed and inundated with a barrage of notifications for any active conversation. The only other alternative you have is to never participate in any thread to avoid the barrage of notifications. Yeah, that's an incredibly "smart" way to build a social-type app. Not! And even though the app supposedly has notifications settings, it seems to ignore them because I keep getting notifications for types of things I’ve clearly disabled. Because of this I have to keep notifications for the WHOLE app turned off, which means I don't see important stuff going on, which really makes the app pretty useless to me. more

ND used to be awesome! Recent changes have made it impossible to find what I'm looking for and it's awful. Will uninstall unless they change back. It's worthless in it's current state.

I finally was able to figure out how to disable the worst one through a reddit post. Nextdoor "help" is also useless. more

I've really wanted this app to be the resource I feel it could be, but the sheer number & frequency of ads ruin the user-experience. It continues needing a major UI overhaul, and an 'Ad-Free Subscription option needs to be offered. Otherwise, what could be a wonderful community sharing resource, remains a cluttered mess of way too many ads mixed in with a few posts dominated by busy-body, gossip types that create hostility & in-fighting. The UI has slowly improved, but still needs much work! more
Adds and Clutter Oct 25, 2022

By 1TheNightOwl1

This use to be a good app when I first joined. That’s all changed. There are way too many ads. It use to be advertising for neighbors that had businesses, now it seems to encompass the United States! The app has become harder to navigate and regardless of how I configure it, I continue to get neighborhoods (even more clutter) that I’m not remotely interested in, and of course even more ads to go with it. After reconfiguring, they go away for awhile sometimes, but inevitably come back (and yes, I save the settings). I quit using the app and have started going in the old fashioned way. However, while that seems slightly better, it still falls way short of what it once was and it’s constantly trying to force me to log into the app. Because of the aforementioned issues, I now rarely use Nextdoor anymore. I’m just about ready to delete this app altogether! Main issues? Too many ads, too much clutter, and neighborhoods I can’t seem to eliminate permanently. By the way, I’m not alone in this critique, I’ve talk to others that echo these same complaints. I guess the younger generation, particularly those that like or use Facebook, feel right at home. Suffice to say, I’m not in those demographics! One last thing..The version history says the same thing on every update. It’s doesn’t list any specific thing that have been addressed; just general categories and therefore pretty useless! more

The invasiveness of next door is shocking. They can access your exact address and send you hundreds of emails and notifications, how is this legal. It took me 30 minutes to go through the notification menu and the next day I discovered I had a dozen emails. The first time I tried next door I found over a hundred emails within a week. If you don't turn off every notification option they authorize emails form about ten agencies. They don't allow you to delete the app easily. more

Worst application ever! Everything is so DIFFICULT. 1. If you start typing a post, it refreshes out of nowhere and deletes everything you typed. Type posts somewhere else and paste it on app. 2. Notifications are a royal mess! You get them all meshed together and it's hard to tell which are which. Like if you are trying to find the ones from your post. The worst! 3. Search for a post subject if it has 2 words, results separate the words. And the list keeps going! more
This app has what they call “Leads” these groups decide which posts are shown. Nov 26, 2022

Nextdoor has what they call community standards which if you are in violation they flag your post. Ok I guess. But then you have groups that WORK for nextdoor called “Leads” which supposedly vote to have a post removed but yet? You don’t get a warning from nextdoor about violations. Nope. Well how can nextdoor give someone a violation warning in a post about LBTGQ concerns without being exposed for their bigot beliefs. Well they can’t of course legally. So they allow these “Leads” to remove any posts without explanation of why or how the LBTGQ posts are being removed. I posted a pic of Caitlyn Jenner and explained a fact that when he was 10 yo he always wanted to be a girl. Swipe post was gone, but not before bullies and trolls had a chance to comment aggressively. The bullies and trolls? ARE THE LEADS that nextdoor HIRES to eliminate the true community. Do not download this app they also sell your information to 10 software companies. This app is conclusive to dictatorship and keep their hands clean by having these “Leads” which are racist people that dictate what gets seen. And what gets removed. Their idea of community standards is to get rid of LBTGQ and minorities. Just check out reviews on this app on review sites. Some “Leads” actually admit to what I have stated. And these “Leads” get paid to bully and discriminate wow just wow more

I want to love this app but there are so many negatives. 1. When you set your feed preference, it only lasts for 60 days and then reset it! What a pain! 2. There is no way to select multiple private messages to delete at one time (like you can in email). Say you list an item for free and get 20 replies, you have to individually delete each message. 3. ND automatically remove posts THEY consider disinformation. Like the rest of the media, they are actively suppressing free speech based on bias. more
