Very useful service
June 16, 2019

I like being able to know what is happening in my immediate neighborhood. Things get posted that do not make it into the local paper, but are still quite useful to know about.
My one complaint is that the boundaries for each "neighborhood" seem arbitrary. Why not allow members to choose where they belong? Have the boundaries be adjustable based on preference and local usefulness.

Good Place to Share
June 16, 2019

For the most part, a great place to share neighborhood information, get helpful hints, and stay in touch with neighbors. You get a grouchy comment every now and then, but for the most part good old fashioned neighborly chat.

4 maybe 3.5
June 16, 2019

Nextdoor is great for communication in our area. The increase presence of ads is Annoying! I wish there was a way to reward the businesses when they receive positive fair reviews such that they would actively pursue that praise. Users could rely on ratings; businesses receive word of mouth recommends and ND s volume grows.

June 16, 2019

I am very pleased with Nextdoor as it keeps me updated on what's going on in our neighborhoods. I acquired two delightful kittens because of Nextdoor. I hear about events that are coming up. Sometimes the posts are not pleasant (e.g., deaths, burglaries), but keeps us aware and safety conscious.

Mostly, I use Nextdoor to find events of interest in my neighborhood, or to keep on top of crime reports. Occasionally, things get heated, when politics or personal values clash. I wish there were a way to limit angry speech, but I realize people are only human. I don't like getting follow-up notices for every thread I've thanked or commented on; I wish you'd remove that feature.

Survey requested by Andi Ferraud
June 16, 2019

I'm not sure if you want my overall experience or a specific experience. I am a Lead & my overall experience is good, but
1) I do think that members should be allowed to post services & items they make for sale. I hear a lot of complaints about this not being allowed.
2) When I Report a member & receive a specific Reply from ND requesting more information, it would be helpful if ND would copy & paste my message with the member's name & neighborhood because I do not remember which report it is without that & your case numbers mean nothing to me.

Neighbors and Nextdoor
June 16, 2019

Nextdoor is a great concept. It unifies neighboring communities. I have gotten great references (some not so great) on many workmen, etc. It's good to know what's going on in the neighborhood, sometimes on an hourly basis, when you're at work. Alerts us to suspicious persons in the neighborhood.
Sometimes some people get into little spats and can get rather nasty. I wish there was a way to curb that behavior. Also, I'm not crazy about the new format. I liked the old one better. It was easier to skim through.

Love it.
June 16, 2019

I read next door nearly every day. I have taken classes from it. I have also bought and sold some things. I've also posted some local events.

Nextdoor experience in Calhoun
June 16, 2019

I moved here 2 and 1/2 years ago from the Atlanta area where I also had access to Nextdoor. I am a fan of Nextdoor and think that it could be utilized much more if members would just consider all of their options available to them through this medium! Maybe some way of communicating this would be helpful!

Nextdoor Very Useful

I find Nextdoor very useful and easy to use. My top uses are for Crime & Safety, Events and Vendor Recommendations. I like being able to avoid any politics and debates.

I love having a neighborhood page where you can get useful information, recommendations and local fun. Sometimes the posts get a little off topic and once in awhile you see some rude comments but overall I enjoy this page.

I like the local-ness of Nextdoor as a social app. It can be tailored for just your neighborhood or expanded to surrounding neighborhoods. Great method to communicate with local friends and neighbors with whats important to them.

Nextdoor Review
June 13, 2019

I have found nextdoor very helpful in a number of situations--saving kitten, recommendations, notifications of events (primarily criminal behavior to look out for), etc. I have experienced some snarkiness, but figure it's their (the snarker's) problem, not mine.

I think nextdoor is a great resource.

Excellent and I feel the website has really benefitted so many people providing a great venue for finding lost pets, posting garage sales, recommendations for service. Keep up the good work. One issue I see is when a community increases their boundary area - very difficult to complete the action. Our community has done this and I cannot incorporate the new 8 residents at all.

I have enjoyed the connectivity and real-time flow of information which Nextdoor enables. It is both of functional use (traffic, crime, power outages, etc.) as well as entertaining/touching (lost and found pets, animal rescues, etc.
