They make it impossible to cancel. They conceal the monthly charge to advertise will be recurring on your credit card. Contact customer service and expect to wait a long time for an unhelpful response.
This is a good site but it seems that to many people want to complain about what someone wrote (and the comments are not nice). Can we stick to providing information, making recommendations, finding lost animals, selling items, helping people, etc and get back to its original purpose.
My experience with Nextdoor has been very positive. I'm met people in my neighborhood, welcomed new neighbors, sold many items and generally had a good time. Just like anything else, it depends on how you use it. As a neighborhood information line it is great, if you want opinions go to FB or another forum that is designed for that.
I was one of the 1st users of Nextdoor, and thought it was a great way to connect with neighbors. But I also didn't feel comfortable using my full name. I also liked that it allowed people to give away free services/goods to each other.
But all that has changed since the introduction of the "Neighborhood Leads", which are just basically power-hungry $#*!s that love to delete posts and accounts willy-nilly for "self-promotion" or "not having a name that sounds like a person I know" or "giving away services and not paying into our stupid small businesses platform".
$#*! this platform. I will tell everyone I know to avoid it. It's just a bunch of complainers and racists anyway.
I have lived here for 14 yrs and even though walking the dog on these beautiful tree lined streets has brought many people together with waves and greetings it doesn't really tell us the whole picture of what is taking place. With the building of new housing, and families joining our neighborhood as well as leaving there is much more news to share. I love the "items for sale" to which I personally used, problems to watch out for to keep our homes safe, to mention just a few. This is an easy way to be part of a community to which you live.
I have been harassed by some people in my community of Chloride Arizona for almost two years. I found out today that it has been organized on this site. My dog was poisoned and killed, numerous break ins, vandalism, computer networks hacked and just straight up blatant lies told about me and my family. What kind of creepy sh*t is this? They have been using this site and ham radios to report my every move, monitor phone calls, etc.
I have been a politically neutral member for 6 years and continually did my best to be constructive and contribute real and lasting value. The few with their hearts right appreciated me but the majority are literally leftist zombies with no ability to reason. The far Left administration protects their own regardless of the guidelines violations or blatant illegal activities. I reported a lead for using the Home page to promote her choice candidate which is a violation of guidelines. Admin locked me out of my account without a word to me. Another issue is that a man was illegally doing electrical work for profit and Nextdoor admin protected him.
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.
Nextdoor is a useful site to keep up on what's happening in the neighborhood, crime, lost and found pets, yard sales and community activities. The issues I have are the comments people write that are just mean. That's bullying & those comments should be deleted. What are we teaching our younger generation!
When this app debuted I was really excited. It's been a great way to connect with neighbors and discuss issues of mutual concern. But there are SO MANY ads. I just ignore all the notifications now because they "notify" me of new ads, or of the fact that somebody said something yesterday that they've already notified me twice about. I still like the app, just there's more noise less signal.
I was banned from nextdoor due to the fact that people reported me because they didn't recognize my name. I did not use my real name for reasons that had to do with being stalked or found by stalker, so I was protecting myself by using a different name. I even bought things off of nextdoor and never really commented on anything. I can't believe the practices that this app uses and doesn't protect the privacy of others by demanding that I provide them with my social security number or license. This us an online community app, why the hell would I give out my personal information just because "people" said they didn't know who I was. Crock of $#*!, stay far away.
Complete scam. How do I know? Postal mail has return addresses of non-existent people
In our own neighborhood saying we are "invited" to join. Getting them weekly now with fake return addresses claiming to be from neighbors. So folks, nothing free is any good. They are up to something. Pretty sure it will end badly for the investors. But lying to trick people into joining? That is the dirtiest trick in the book.
This a mostly useless platform, mostly for people with nothing better to do with their time. Unfairly blocked from this platform because I made a post about the rural carrier in our neighborhood not delivering packages and often when they are delivered they are put in the wrong box. I suspect he lurks on this platform because 1 day after posting my account was permanently banned. Reported and even though I did not use my full name on that site, I am sure the incompetent rural carrier figured out it was me because I am very vocal to the postal master here about missing packages and mail. Oh well, lol.
The other, majority of negative posts are 100% accurate. Totally arbitrary discipline results in multiple suspensions, racial bullying with no discipline delegated, anti police and military with once again, acceptance by Nextdoor… heres the most recent example of what caused me to be suspended…. Richard Pellegrino wow. Your post is so far out in left field this is the only response you'll get from me. Just WOW…. And another. Victoria Brown and yes i made that up to illustrate how ridiculous your argument …. And lastly… And with that childish remark you are MUTED…. As you can see totally benign and innocuous retorts by me to address bullying and other awful remarks made to me. Apparently all it takes is one person to complain and that results in a suspension for the offender. Nextdoor is a joke! Don't waste your time!
Was on their site for one day and then got kicked off without notice. My crime? I expressed pollitical views which were different from those of this left wing, San Francisco based gang. Some neighbors complained I was off topic for expressing conservative views.
Their complaints were profane and threatening.
Guess it was easier to kick me off instead of the liberal idiots who tend to join these socialistic groups! No great loss. This business is DOOMED to fail.
I have seen this website destroy itself the past few years. It use to be a good site to get info on the neighborhood. Now the monitors decide if your comment can stay or must go. It is against freedom of speech so do not go on there and support more Nazi/Communist treatment of citizens of a free country. They are run by lefties so you know what gets deleted. Stop websites like theses... we are a free country.
This app sucks and is very biased towards compassion for Republicans? Seams the nextdoor owners or originators work for google! Major censorship... when you try to communicate with them they just block your account another fake platform to keep you from not hearing or seeing the truth and let people talk freely
Was locked out for 2 weeks for posting 2 videos (without comment) that I thought might be of interest. One was a Doctor with his take on the exaggeration of C-19. And the other was discussing Voter Fraud in the election. This caused a stir among the 'snowflakes' who either cry or curse and what do you know... I'm cancelled for 2 weeks.
Do we need another 'liberal' mocking bird social media where 'Free Speech' is not respected? I don't think so.
I appreciate being informed if someone in the area has had a pet go missing or if one has been found, if there are coyote sightings, break-ins, thefts and other happenings that affect the security or safety of my family and me. I like getting & giving referrals to area businesses or services. I've met a few great people who have helped me with yard work and projects around my house. I look forward to meeting more of my neighbors at the upcoming picnic at Nathan Bill Park in August. East Forest Park is a great place to live and I'm so glad I moved back to MA.
If a company has to lie to get business it's pretty pathetic. This company mails out marketing material pretending to be someone who lives in your neighbourhood and telling you that most of your neighbours are already using the application. All LIES.
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.
