I wanted to download this app so I can see what was going on in my neighborhood. I get on the app and it wants me to verify my information, I verified my email everything was fine, go to verify my phone number it won't verify my phone number for some reason won't tell me why it just won't so I tried my landline it won't verify that because it's under my husband's name which I put in there that the billing is under my husband's name, still would not go through, still would not verify me. Now it wants me to wait for 2 weeks to be verified through the mail?!?! Yeah forget that s***! Just to see what's going on in my neighborhood. Ill choose another site or app that is user friendly is set up correctly

This site is the worst. It could be a good thing. It could be a neighborhood thing. However they have decided to only allow mass national marketing and nothing locally present in the neighborhood. Even when you post a local event that a Non-Profit is having for local business people they shut you down quickly. They block you, your business page and do not give you any recourse. Any neighborhood content for local businesses is immediately slashed unless they are connected to the moderators. It is a biased based media network with no real guidance on policy.

It's like a nasty facebook group where all the people are local and know your name and address. The so-called" Review team" are just other neighbors because Nextdoor is too cheap to hire actual employees.

The local neighborhood "Review Team" are more like Nazis with a deep leftist bias. You will get banned for simply saying that the homeless number is growing and is creating a nuisance and have factual information removed that the "Review Team" doesn't want anyone to see.Yet "some" people are allowed to create posts with titles like "Where are all the non-white people?" and then proceed to complain about the area having too many white people. I mean wouldn't that be racist if the post was complaining about a race other than white?

You will also get all your posts flagged and removed to saying that it's gross for a member of the Review team to post a video with swarming cockroaches with NO explanation. (See screen shot. Note Deshane had a reply to the comment complaining about his video and suddenly all my posts were flagged and removed for the most BS reasons imaginable.

The crowning glory was having one of these people actually commit defamation and call me a "bigoted racist", swear using the F word, and then proceed to tell me to get off "her post" and go "p*ss up someone else's post". That post was reported, but never removed. In short Next door is just a viper's den of crazy people run by a leftist company in San Francisco that probably has links to communist China if I had to take a guess.

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.

A salesman cyberbullied me and got his buddies to attack me. I'm a grandmother in my 60s. He's a young millennial. He was posting on Nextdoor that I am Mentally Ill and he's going to call the cops on me because I came to view his work after he invited me. I didn't like his product so he posted the color, and make of my car, totally violated my privacy while encouraging others to viciously attack me. I tried to notify Nextdoor, but there were more bullies and I was the only victim. There were more of them than me, and so Nextdoor banned me -- the woman who was the victim of the abusive men. All they require to ban the victim is that the bullies, in this case the salesmen, outnumber their victim, the woman.

The level of comment or alert is useful, but, on occasion, it is paranoid, abusively ignorant of life's issues, and almost anti-neighbor. Should you choose to point this out, regardless of the tone of your reply, hackles will raise, someone will become offended because you are not paranoid of some poor old man picking through the garbage cans out on the street and suggesting calling the police as they are but suggesting instead perhaps their attitude was unkind. Do that a time or two and it won't matter how many "Thank you"s you may have received over time, you're suspended and asked to provide a note asking for forgiveness by people named CLARK. I'm a groady old exMarine and craven behavior bothers me. But when those people want vindication for their induced fantasies and fears, I tend to nonspecifically point it out. I'm unreasonable to them because fear is more reasonable to them and the management AGREES. It's THEIR business but they may want to ponder the results of selecting out, as apparently they do from other comments here, the more interesting voices using their services to learn about and possibly help their neighbors. Again, I'm not abusive, but I am descriptive of behavior and its roots in personality, altruism, and sympathy, or lack thereof. In any case, it's Corporate Management's policies and their wallets. Good luck, guys, with what you wind up with.

It is helpful often times, but can be filled with unnecessary drama, like many social media sites. It isn't really regulated or monitored at all, so often times neighbors can just pick fights, disagree, and get ugly. But, there are some very helpful "neighborhood alerts" regarding some very important issues. Many, many, lost cat and dog posts, coyote postings, etc. I like the "curb alert" feature, where people put free stuff out. Yard sale posts are nice. Police and crime posts are the ones I look at a lot. Once the local police departments start getting involved, it can help a lot with preventing and dealing with crimes.

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.

You cannot even walk through your neighborhood without someone thinking they are going to be robbed or you look suspicious. There is a woman that people are sure is certified crazy, but she is not. She walks with a limp because she had a tumor removed from her leg, is currently going through chemo and just wants to have the sun on her for a few minutes a day by talking a walk. They are saying she doesn't look well and be careful of her because they are sure she is nuts. THIS IS A HATEFUL PLACE FOR PEOPLE WITH NO LIVES TO PICK ON PEOPLE. If people would take the time to get to know people (we all have a story and struggles) instead of prejudging them based on color, age, what they are wearing, if they don't look well etc... maybe they are going through something like that woman. I cancelled right away. Mean place. Wasn't it just world kindness day? I can't believe they let these people get away with these posts.

Repeatedly, I reported inappropriate online conduct to Next Door, and contacted leads. The lead, "Rodney Stringer" when I insisted that he discipline and remove a member who caused gang threat to me in public chat forum, wrote"do not contact me again". I told the abusers of the Ap that I would be reporting the threats to police. I was ssuspended from the Ap, and the unlawful activity continued. I emailed a letter to Sarah, the Ap creator, and she did not take responsibility nor respond. This Ap, with the leaders who currently presided over my neighbors safety is unsafe, illogical, and full of potential for good, but instead it is full of corrupt, likely drug addicts and corrupt people. Be careful.

Highly biased website. Additionally, nextdoor.com wants too much personal information and indiscriminately censors those with differing opinions than their own. They censored one of my posts to Vote YES on Proposition 6, citing "Political Content" All the while they were accepting advertising dollars from the Vote YES on 6 campaign. So they can advertise it, but its members cannot post about it. I was then accused of "Discrimination," which to me is a very serious accusation and made no sense. Anyone whose agenda differs from yours can complain and get you kicked off the site. They practice censorship in the worst way and definitely interfere with freedom of speech.

If you want to meet your neighbors, do it in person and exchange emails. In this age of cyber stalking a site like this shouldn't exist. Nextdoor also wants to commandeer your contact list from your email. Don't make the mistake I did, if you have to join, set up a separate email for this. If you want to sell your junk online, they do offer the opportunity... probably the same level of safety as any other online market. And if you are online shopping, nd will give you tons of popups for stuff listed on their site.

The site is certainly a good idea. But whoever is managing it should hire someone that actually knows management. Or, simply it is a scam site looking to get your personal information. I have been trying to change my address for a month now, and the site throws one obstacle after another. And it comes down to asking me to enter my debit/credit card number... NO THANKS!

I am now thinking of collectively starting a better site myself... Anybody else interested?

While our Board tries to create community harmony (and is doing an excellent job), the self appointed Lead continues to allude to the fact that there are shady dealings going on. This woman, (who has since sold and moved), appointed a close cohort to be lead but she still remains as lead as well. Despite numerous emails (and not just from me) to those in charge of Nextdoor, nothing is done and she continues to reign supreme over our neighborhood. She never attends community events or HOA meetings. I have been deactivated twice now and won't return since I find the site useless. (We get email blasts from our Board to keep us updated). Question? How can we get Nextdoor to shut down?

Nextdoor will only allow comments that they like and will not allow any controversy. They have censored people from putting up salaries of certain individuals in our area because it might be a safety issue?! They will not allow anyone to say negative regarding POA issues. Not worth being on Nextdoor if you can not constructively voice opinion yet if you are with the POA they can bad mouth and make snide remarks! Shame on you Nextdoor Team of Hippocrits!
