Great Information from surrounding neighbors. Great way for neighbors to contact other neighbors for any news and recommendations
I find Nextdoor very friendly and helpful and kind 95% of the time. Then there is always someone who has to be a jerk that other 5% of the time.
Nextdoor is a quick and convenient way for neighbors to express questions and concerns about crime prevention and safety issues, BUT it is NOT a substitute for contacting 911 promptly for a police response, as appropriate.
We rely on Nextdoor as a communication vehicle for our Neighborhood. It does perform that way, but I find sifting through all the ads and people selling things diminishes the effectiveness of the tool. Posts, Replies and "For Sale and Free" all share the same level of importance via the fonts used. I feel that people may tend to just discard the entire email and not catch an important neighborhood post buried in there.
I am a member of a community in Port St Lucie Fl and have benefitted many times from getting recommendations that I needed advice or information for. Maturity is the most important qualification for using this application.
Can I give no stars? People will report you for absolutely nothing and you will be blocked once someone complains, regardless of who is in the right. The complainer always wins, so you have these crazy people reporting everyone they disagree with in the slightest way. NextDoor is all too happy to ban people without any investigation and without even telling them for what they were banned! Overall, the app was absolutely useless - just paranoid people with no jobs reporting every sound they heard and every "suspicious" person they see, including an elderly lady out for a walk taking pictures of the snow. For Sale items ridiculously overpriced for being second-hand. Recommendations is just a glorified ad section.
Great way to keep connected with your neighborhood. Make new friends and be part of a community. There's so much to say about knowing your neighbors and helping out.
The site guides new neighbors as well as supporting current neighbors on anything from advise or recommendations in practically every topic. It also serves as a heads up on social events and strangers in a neighborhood to be aware of. Lost you pet or looking for a new one? This is where neighbors support neighbors!
I have had a good experience with nextdoor. It keeps the neighbors informed of things we might not otherwise have known about. Reviews of companies, lost animals to look for, things for sale and community events.
Good so far. I just don't have enough time to dedicate to keep up with it. The validation of neighbors is not realistic because I just don't know them and they are too many blocks away.
I'm also not sure on the monetization of the platform is something that is clear. Like is this going to be the next facebook? Infested with ads everywhere? Is this going to be "cured" so we see only some post and not all of them?
I'm in a small town so there is not much going on anyway
As admin would like to export user data like with addresses to csv. Why do you need 100 characters to fill this up. You said super quick survey.
Mostly I enjoy next door as a way to know what's going on in the neighborhood, to share issues and ask for recommendations. Occasionally things seem to blow up into criticism and hate speech
This site is a great place to share information and get information about the community. I would recommend this site to anyone who wants more information about their neighborhood.
I've really been impressed with Nextdoor - with all the features such as reuniting lost animals/objects with owners to communicating with city and police representatives to updates of weather changes/warnings!
The neighbors notifying each other of crime or suspicious behavior in the area is priceless! There is no other way to get this information. It is also helpful in buying or selling items but even more valuable than that is getting referral for handymen, contractors, etc.
Nextdoor provides a good place to interact with neighbors and share good news or ask questions. The difficult part is when neighbors get out of hand with negative comments. Good NextDoor leads are invaluable in managing their NextDoor neighborhood.
I am frustrated with the time it is taking to resolve the photo issue in groups. The group officers are ready to change for the third time and the picture of a officers from three-years ago is still on the site versus the current officers.
Good way to know what's happening in the neighborhood and surrounding areas but way too many paid/sponsored ads.
The service doesn't have paid moderators and they don't police the ones they have. They allowed one lady to make threatening comments for two weeks about a neighbor she never met who she thinks "stole" her feral cat. The cat turned up later but not after some unsuspecting guy got trash thrown on his yard.
I have an inconsiderate next door neighbor in the Larkspur subdivision in Leander Texas. The couple use their garage and driveway as a social hub to serve alcohol and play loud music. I recently had a sheriff deputy in my home to verify the music can be heard on the 1st and 2nd floors of my house. When I posted on the Nextdoor app about the issue I never identified the neighbors or their address. Yet the husband posted very negitive, disturbing comments on the thread. Instead of addressing his actions and harassing behavior the moderators disabled the thread. And this morning they disabled my account, because this strange person harassing me reported that I'm using a fake last name. When I'm actually using one of the surnames on my birth certificate. So not only have they enabled this stalkers behavior but their enforcing his complaint by disabling my account for using one of my 2 surnames because I don't feel comfortable using my other one, because of harassment from the neighbor next door.
Answer: The negative reviews are honest reactions to being duped into sharing too much personal information (that Nextdoor now owns and will NEVER delete and will continue to sell to advertisers until your dying day) to join a site that seems friendly on the surface, but which does NOTHING to protect users. I was bullied by a convicted murderer, who is a Lead in my neighborhood--and I was banned from the site for complaining. Leads are nothing more than early adopters of the site who have been assigned power over other users so that Nextdoor does not have to police it's own site. In short: No. The negative reviews are not wrong. Heed them! I wish I had known before it was too late!
Answer: Forget about nextdoor and leads. Get a life, a real one. Don't waste your time with toxic online communities that tend to get the worst out of people. My advise is run away while you still have some dignity left.
Answer: Kay is right. That is their policy. However, don't expect them to hold to it. We have leads unfairly removing only some people's comments and Nextdoor does nothing about it. Best bet, dump nextdoor.
Answer: Neighborhood. Rocks is in development. Another 6 months.
Answer: Truth is like oil and water. As long as the scam artist have enough venture capital (other people's money) they will continue to shake the bottle leaving it a murky view obscuring the truth. Run out of cash, they'll be exposed for the incompetent boobs they are and the top dogs will clear out their bank accounts and move on to the next scam. One look at their "leading edge tech" pulled right out of the 1980's is proof enough they will die in the tar pits just like the fellow dinosaurs. Want a state of the art app?

Answer: Dallas, SiteJabber rates it at 16%. It would surely rate lower if there weren't so many fake positive reviews. Folks review Nextdoor either 1 or 5. The fives read like ads about Nextdoor's features and potential. The ones are written by real people and give accounts of how awful their experiences were.
Answer: Several other reviewers on this site have had the same thing happen to them. We have been fully banned from nextdoor (beyond just "suspension"), but they keep our profiles, and sometimes our names still appear in the neighbor registry. They refuse to remove us fully, I suppose, in an attempt to misrepresent our endorsement and participation there. It's clearly unethical, but their TOS states that they can do this, as any nd apologist will point out.
Answer: Here's a tidy answer from corporate... Hi Colleen, Thanks for getting back to me. Our Community Guidelines prohibit posting about Lead activity on the main newsfeed. If your Leads are inactivate and youre concerned about moderation in your neighborhood, you should reach out directly to Nextdoor Support. If you have any specific concerns I can help you with at this time, please let me know. Best, Amanda Nextdoor However, the minute you alert corporate to issues with leads in your community you'll find your account terminated. They are very protective of the information surrounding who really is controlling the activities on the boards. Most people in my community are under the misguided impression that corporate is in control. They don't even consider it is their neighbor who sits in judgement.
Answer: Nextdoor wants your full legal name, house number and address and your email address that they link all together. As an added bonus... They have a little map that you can click on. That way if, OMG, you offend someone the little map leads them straight to your house. Run, do not walk, away from this site. No good comes from Nextdoor.
Answer: Your name and address will be known to everyone who uses the NextDoor application and website. I don't suggest using it. I recently discovered that low income apartments in ghetto areas might be able to use the application to do crime. Car theft, asaaults, kidnapping and just about everything else under the sun.
When neighbors start talking, good things happen.
