NextdoorReviews 3,043

I joined Nextdoor in the hope of helping my apartment community and surrounding neighbors where I work as I am an employee and I also have lived in the building for 4 years. I had someone bring to Nextdoor's attention that I no longer LIVE in the building and therefore can no longer help the residents in the building EVEN THOUGH I work in the building full time and am always looking for help those I can. Nextdoor emailed me and said that because I no longer reside in the building that my account has to be deactivated. I explained that I grew up in the neighborhood and also work full time in the neighborhood so I still felt that I could be of value to those that need it. They emailed me back and said that it doesn't matter that I grew up in the neighborhood and work in it, it's not where I currently LIVE so I have to change my account or they have to delete it. I'm very disappointed with this. I'm sad that Nextdoor wasn't willing to allow me to help those in my work neighborhood. I work at an apartment complex so it would have been really nice to try and find people homes here that may have been looking or if they need anything else.

This is one useless little site. If you want biased (from friends and relatives) recommendations for local businesses, if you want to know all about the lost/found cats and dogs in the neighborhood or hear the constant whining about off-leash dogs and irresponsible dog owners that dont pick their dogs poop, if you want to provoke the ire of your neighbors by posting about issues of substance or exhibiting a sense of humor, then this is the site for you. Otherwise stay away because what will happen if you do post something thought-provoking is that you get reported by your good neighbors (that were never taught as children that tattletaling is bad) and you will get censored and banned from further posting. This is a site for little people that only care about little things, everyone else gets silenced pretty fast.

The Nextdoor for my neighborhood is full of fear mongering nonsense. Everyone walking down the street is a potential home invader or robber that gets an URGENT ALERT or warning posted in the CRIME SECTION. So and so must be on drugs, stay away. God help you if you have guests over and they knock on the wrong door, an URGENT ALERT will be out about your guests that "someone strange is knocking on my door and potentially casing my house!" Complaints to admin go unanswered. If you disagree with someone, you are called "dangerous" to the neighborhood. It's not good. The app was supposed to curb racial profiling, but I have yet to see that. If anything, it shows you who your neighbors really are. If your a runner or an avid walker, be careful what you post on the app and just know that your neighbors have cameras everywhere. Nothing is private anymore and if you thought it was legal to go door to door to communicate, your wrong. Not according to the friendly neighbors on Nextdoor. They will call the police on you in an instant.

I founded a community and was made a LEAD instantly. BUT, if you have anything good to post, anything to sell, anything that's worth mentioning in regards to donations or fund raisers or helping in any way for any cause, DON'T BOTHER BECOMING A MEMBER! CORPORATE NEXTDOOR will ALWAYS side with the ones who cause evil, who are instigators and trouble makers, and place blame COMPLETELY on the one who is doing good. I put up with a lot of BULL for over a year and nothing was ever resolved! After going back and forth with CORP ND, I finally had enough and left because they REFUSE to REMOVE PERMANENTLY those idiots who are so miserable and have no life and do nothing but sift through posts and report them because they are bored or don't agree with what's being posted.

My neighborhood uses Nextdoor and there is such an abuse of power by neighborhood LEAD's, they send bullying PM's to members when they disagree with them, they aren't helpful at all and our neighborhood LEAD has actually had the nerve to post that he will take down any post he doesn't like! He has bullied many people, men and women alike. He reports posts he doesn't agree with. This site is a joke and I for one plan to remove myself from it. It is not a neighborly site and frankly it's a waste of time to get all the junk that is emailed by our LEAD's. Our community is Sunset II in Littleton, CO and our LEAD is Simon Bogdansky. Watch out if your in our community, be wary of disagreeing with him or he'll report you & then send you nasty grams. Nextdoor actually sent me an email because I had posted about our LEAD. I had first tried to contact them, but their support email isn't good. Their email said I should go to my LEAD to discuss! Hahaha! Tried that route & got bullied. No thank you!

I am appalled that Streetlife was taken over they certainly know how to kill a really good local site, but been in USA they have not ideas how the BRITISH people are Streetlife was a success web site, BRING IT BACK PROMTO! OR I AM LIKE MANY OTHERS WILL OR HAVE LEFT.
I ASK ONE QUESTION WHY TRY AND SPOIL A GOOD LOCAL WEBSITE?

This is so sad next door should perhaps be run much the same as streetlife was I have changed over to next door as I am not really worried about my location where I live I believed this is the main bugbear of the site people obviously thought this reason is too invasive to their thinking it is such a pity can your website be run like streetlife as it was such a more street neighbour friendly THIS IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION MEDIATORS before your site dies I don't want to stay away I just hope this site runs differently

I live in the UK and liked Streetlife. When it was going to be taken over by Nextdoor I read a lot of negative reviews and decided NOT to transfer. Before Streetlife ended I closed my account because I didn't want Nextdoor to have access to my contact details and gave this as reason for closing my account. Nevertheless, Nextdoor are now sending me emails and addressing me by name to try to persuade me to sign up. They have no right to access my contact details against my specific wish. Dodgy company which does not accept that no means NO.

I absolutely detest this website and the people who run it.

I was able to get a promotional discount for my neighborhood from Ring.com - $25 off.

Every time I posted they would take it down as spam.

I contacted the corporate office and explained that I was not in business and receiving no $ or product. I was trying to get more people to be able to afford a great security item that can be used to file a police report.

Instead of "looking into it" I was sent an e-mail telling me it was a very "spammy" sounding post and they did not want people to feel they were being spammed - BY 1 POST? Come on folks.

Worthless website filled with sniveling people with very small minds.
