I have watched our city become connected through Nextdoor. Lost animals are reconnected with their owners quicker, questions regarding city services are answered the same day. Residents voice their dislikes and concerns without fear of reprisal. This has been very positive for our city.
Most of the activity is very good to excellent. I don't like it when a post devolves into a political discussion. There are plenty of other places to do THAT. Some of the "free" stuff posted by people is absolutely atrocious in appearance --- instead of giving what truly is JUNK to an unsuspecting "neighbor," the poster ought to take it to our local bulk trash centers operated by the county.
I like when people network together on community events, resources, personal needs, government issues, etc. I don't like when people get into verbal fights, use bad language, dump their feelings, etc. Let's keep it positive, constructive, uplifting and user-friendly.
I truly appreciate the input of my neighbors. I find it more trustworthy and useable than other platforms. It's my go to resource for a wide range of needs (restaurants, home improvement, health care, car maintenance, etc, etc).
Nextdoor is the quickest way to get information that is pertinent to your neighborhood and surrounding area.
Other than the few People that use this Site as a Political Platform or a place to be Angry and Argumentative, we enjoy reading the Neighborhood News and using the site for Helpful purposes.
This app can be very helpful in finding pets, recommendations on restaurants andbusiness.as well as an alert to nearby neighbors on suspicious activity, crime in progress. Also glad we have leads that can take action needed when there are individuals that are inappropriate
Great app that helps connect you to your neighbors, keeps you abreast of information and highlights the best and worst things about people. Overall, useful and the positives outweigh the negatives
When seeking information regarding housing area or local events I ask on Nextdoor. Answers are most often quick and helpful. If you are new to this area it is very helpful to have somewhere to ask questions.
You become knowledgeable of what's going around your neighborhood and who your neighbors are. Neighbors are willing to assist you if you are in an emergency.
I like reading thru the recommendations and experiences neighbors have posted. I also like how my neighborhood is so willing to help reunite lost pets and help strays. The one thing I do not like are the people who give nasty and unnecessary replies to other people's posts.
I have not had any problems with Nextdoor. Sometimes people do tend to get a little emotional when there is something posted i. E., the golf cart situation. I have found good recommendations on the sight often.
Nextdoor enlarges the area about which I have neighborly exchanges. My "back fence" goes much farther than it used to. Thanks.
Nextdoor keeps me updated on what is happening in my neighborhood. I have also found good referrals to local services. It is a good way to find neighbors who share your interests.
Very good tool when used properly. Some folks seem to have other ideas on their minds. Needs a bit more monitoring.
I can connect with my neighbors and get the scoop about what is happening. I appreciate the site. It's a great place to post for crime or suspicious people in the area and lost pets, plus services that people might need and have been referred here.
I love how it allows you to communicate with neighbors, be altered on something suspicious, notified on something upcoming that address the area and exchanging ideas.
I don't understand why the real estate side isn't accurate. Properties that have sold are still showing as pending and thus marketed.
NextDoor has been a great help for our neighborhood, but you have been slow to fix some problems. For example, I'm still getting a LOT of unwanted email from senders outside my neighborhood. I have unchecked all other neighborhoods and have no "interest" boxes checked. I'd also like to have a central location to post documents intended for continuing use by our neighborhood.
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.
