I have been able to get advice about washer and stove repairs, sprinkler repairs etc. And it is nice to be able to try to sell something and not be charged for it.

Log In Issues
May 9, 2019

I love to stay alert on neighborhood happenings. However, the log in has been troublesome. I use to have no issues... then suddenly every time I logged in it said I needed to "verify" my email (which had never changed) There was always a red bar at the top saying this. I would verify, etc.- go through the process and nothing changed. SO - it is a hassle, and I don't check it as often as I would like to due to his problem.

I am not very computer literate (older person), so I have not learned how
To really use the site. Need assistance on that. But have personally
Contacted people where pets are concerned whether lost, or needing a home,
Etc. (I run a dog rescue). Have found things to purchase, and some things were given to me! Good for information, contacts, and reaching out.

Overall, we all love Nextdoor. Some of our neighbors are challenged with technology, but we have held small group "training" sessions which was another opportunity for people to get together and connect. It's been great for service recommendations, buying and selling within our "neighborhoods" and posting communications and neighborhood breakfasts and luncheons. Support staff has been very responsive so far when we've needed help. Thank you!

Appreciate you
May 9, 2019

On the whole, I really enjoy Nextdoor. I especially like it to stay on top of area crime, lost animals, and recommendations. I think it does draw the neighbors together. I have a bit of a concern that it is over monitored where things are taken down if even a little edgy. I realize there are things that don't need to be expressed, but give us a little more credit. But thanks for providing ND.

I find the nextdoor experience helpful but naturally some use it and abuse it. I don't want to know your political leanings or your skills. I want to know recommendations and activities in my neighborhood to expand my abilities to be more active.

Purpose vs. Noise
May 9, 2019

Duality. Some good posting & and lots of noise. Vital few & and the trivial many.

I think people can use guidance on how to compose a noteworthy post, benefiting the greater good.

The Good and The Bad
May 9, 2019

I love the fact that you can get recommendations from people who actual experience the situation which is very helpful. To know about things going on in the neighborhood is also a plus. The only negative I fine is when some people think they know everything and start to pick every conversation apart.

Many benefits
May 9, 2019

Love the updates of what is going on around the area. I like being able to sell or give away items and connecting with my neighbors that I never meet.

I like my Nextdoor.
May 9, 2019

I like having access to information about my neighborhood.
It seems to be especially helpful locating pets who get lost and found.
It was very helpful to get information about a proposed multi-family apartment complex that would have impacted our neighborhood very negatively with excess traffic and put a strain on the resources of our wonderful Bear Lake community.

Nice Service
May 9, 2019

I like hearing updates on the area or recommending new restaurants and services. Being able to post items for sale is also a nice service. I could do without the bickering between members on certain subjects. Not sure why I haven't received any notifications in months...

I was receiving the emails for over a year and then they just stopped. I have tried repeatedly to re join without success. So I would say it failed me previously enjoyed being involved.

Keeps neigbors "in the know". From lost pets to worthwhile contractors. It's a good thing! It's easy and informative and so far people "play nice" on it.

I was able to obtain something i needed for craft storage and it was a simple process, quick, and i love the product i purchased. We have since moved and no longer have access to Nextdoor, which is a shame, because it's a good concept!

I enjoy Nextdoor for the most part. There are a few members that always seem to be involved in everything. I have read very long posts from one person who is a lead. She is very long winded and says many inappropriate things. She often seems confused and repeats herself about things. She calls people not really nice names. Everybody had the right to express themselves, but this is a neighborhood sight and people should be careful what they say and how they say it. This is not FB and should not be treated as such. I've seen many positive areas and have been able to get help that I needed from other members. I think Nextdoor is a positive thing. I hope in the future people will use it as intended and not their personal platform to constantly express their thoughts and views.
