They are trying to move school districts even though I paid mello roos for the school they are now going to try to take away from my kid. I voiced that this is unfair and evidently that goes against the views of the communist owner of the company and I got banned.

You mention meneighbor.com as a possible alternative to NextDoor. Went online and read meneighbor. Coms privacy policy - They collect your personal information and monitor you just as NextDoor does. Its all scary turning over permission to any entity to invade ones contacts, email, personal information and activities. Why do they want it? To sell to anyone willing to pay is bad enough, but there could be even worse reasons. I will keep looking for an app that doesnt do these things, but it will probably will be a subscription/pay for service site, but thats ok. Nothing is free and Id rather pay for a neighborhood service that is not personally invasive and that isnt really in business to data mine my personal information and sell it - or worse.

First it hacked my email and could have stole all my contacts Facebook messages and God knows what else. Also if your not invited your not invited. If people really wanted to interact on a personal basis they would smile wave say hi. Things that normal humans do. Also makes community take a militant approach towards neighbors they have suspicions about. Acting more like the police department than normal people. Don't use it! They'll bypass permissions on your phone and hack your email if nothing else

Next door is useless
November 5, 2017

To give power of censorship and deleting comments to just anyone is useless. Leads, whom we dont ever know, have the ability to navigate their own ways with their own agenda, deleting peoples posts and comments. USELESS! You cant express a concern you have with neighbors and if you do, you get deleted. Nothing ever gets resolved on these sites when it comes to issues because the so called leads get their feelings hurt and delete posts and comments instead of letting people work out the issues. And who picks these leads? No one knows! I hate Facebook but I hate this site more. One star is too good of a review.

This app is fine for small, very friendly neighborhoods where everybody knows each other and behaves respectfully. However, this is rarely the case. Next-door expects their neighborhood leads, who have their own agendas, to monitor what goes on with in their neighborhood feeds. Often times, this is like asking the fox to guard the henhouse. Next-door needs to develop an algorithm such as what Facebook uses to weed out things such as hate speech, pornography, etc. Additionally, if they are going to continue to have neighborhood leads monitor the news feeds, there should be at least an online training for the leads and the leads should have their actions monitored somehow by Nextdoor. As it stands now, leads are running amok. They allow their friends to break the rules without consequences and they report people who are not breaking the rules on a regular basis. One last item The advertising is getting way out of control. Everyone knows they'll have to pay for the app somehow, but flooding in our neighborhood feed with highly paid advertisements is not going to maintain their membership.

This is my first experience with Servair, and I would recommend this company to my friends or anyone who asks me if I know of a good heat & air company. The service tech, Tony Adorante, was a real gem. He was courteous, knew his business, was efficient and offered suggestions. I'm a 72-year-old single woman and new to the area, so I didn't know who to call. Servair was recommended, and was assured that I could trust them to do a good job. After my experience, I now know why the company is talked about in such a positive manner.

I have found this company Nextdoor very intrusive with Ads and unreliable for oversight in content. It's too bad Nextdoor has been bought by corporations that pay advertisements rather than focus on small businesses and actual neighborhood run services.

Next Door should be shut down. This site, which should have been a great way for neighbors to interact on a polite, social basis has turned into a toxic vehicle allowing cyberbullying (against the law), uncivil and inflammatory discourse. Overposting is the norm. Some posters have hijacked the site so that anyone who disagrees and dares to post an opposite opinion, are met with a barrage of stinging, sometimes hateful counterattacks. The site should bear the warning, "USE WITH CAUTION".

This isn't web 1.0 - it's Orwell-style where people report each other if they dislike someone else's opinion. So all the interesting people have mysteriously vanished, and it's just full of biddies and people trying to sell their antique envelope collections. Plus their CEO sounds like a real p. O. s. What an utter failure of a website.

If your views are different than the leads/ admins in your area or they dislike you or you post a reply they dont like then you open yourself up for not just social media bullying but they also have your address and make threats. And there is no way to report them without them knowing. Very unsafe!

They tell you to sign up to find out what's going on in your neighborhood. They don't tell you that your personal info (name & address) is made available to not just people in your neighborhood, but people from every neighborhood! They don't even need your address to find out who you are. All they need to do is click on a house on the map and they'll be able to immediately see your name & address.

Another crock of crap is if you want to look at recent activity posts, good luck since all neighborhoods are grouped together. I don't care what's happening in a neighborhood miles away!

One of our neighborhood leads posted a warning about a "nazi" meeting in our neighborhood, and warned everyone to stay away. It turns out is was a "get out the vote" rally put on by a local conservative group. After alerting Nextdoor of the issue, I was told that post was not in violation of any of their policies. This disgusting, ANTIFA behavior has no place on a neighborhood website. Steer clear of NextDoor.com.

This site, like a trashy tabloid thrives on ugly mean spirited commentary, profiling and trashing people. They have a biasis toward Post that generate traffic and will delete basic information. They should be sued on a regular basis. Dont fall into this trap

Lying Liars
October 20, 2017

I am on our local political committee and have an address list for everyone in my township. There is NO "Neal Roberts" on my road. Glad I never took the last steps to sign up. BTW we have a Facebook group for our local area, where the admins can see who's who, and we know each other. This Nextdoor is a bogus site.

Biased and Unfair
October 17, 2017

This company has favorites among it's members. And will edit 'comments' to favor certain members. And to discriminate against others. Then they pull the 'comments' so that you don't have evidence against them to support their treatment of you. A TOTALLY biased site.

I read both positive and negative reviews, but I cannot comment on these.

I can comment on the site's "sign-up" process/policy, which was a miserable failure for me. It was WAY to personal and WAY over the line in the information they requested/demanded. In attempting to sign up {failed} I also found the "marketing" practices discouraging, out of date and NOT within the norm of on-line practices.

I was attempting to sign up to offer an extremely positive view of a tradesman I retained who is signed up with the site. But I as mentioned the sign up failed.

This is my review and as they say, "first impressions" are everything, in building expectations and establising image.

Misleading Mailer
October 12, 2017

My mailer says "... Neighbor". Really? And, then the mailer has a person's name from a street in my neighborhood as if that person knows me, which they don't, and as if that is enough to entice me to join!

This is not what my neighborhood needs.
