This is one of the best sites I have. It's great to connect with neighbors and find out whats happening in our neighborhoods. The recommendation and referrals are great. Hopefully this site stays up a long time.
I like Nextdoor because it covers a variety of topics that are always useful. All the neighborhoods are nearby.
Love Nextdoor because it is an easy way to connect with so many neighbors in our area, ask questions, and find excellent vendors! Super helpful on safety tips, selling items, and repair individuals. Excellent website!
Love it when it first started but I knew free for life would be too good to be true. The ads can be annoying but would still recommend. Along with postcards and flyers, I wish there was a sign template we could use create to stick in people's yards. I've gotten a lot of folks to sign up but not 100% of neighbors
Kind of keeps me aware of what's going on in the area but too many people are still allowed to be opinionated instead of being required to just post facts.
I have enjoyed using Nextdoor immensely since I heard about it back in 2013. It keeps getting better as groups are added that help to inform each neighborhood what is going on close by. It has helped bring neighbors together who may never have connected. It gives you a feeling of security as you can reach out to all your neighbors if you need help. I look forward to the future growth and where it will take us.
Nextdoor has helped me connect with neighbors, find cheap furniture, and stay informed with what's happening in my neck of the woods. There are crazies, sure, but that's a reflection of our society, not the app. As long as you understand that, you're golden.
The primary reason that I joined Next Door is to take advantage of the experience of my neighborhood consumers with so many types of vendors. I have benefited from some excellent service reps, techs, etc. And I have tried to provide referrals when others are seeking experience in an area with which I'm familiar.
I think we can do without the political opinions. And I get concerned for people who are continually losing their pets, but I guess that's a big help for those folks. Overall, I think it is a very helpful service.
I use ND all the time to check on yard sales, local recommendations and safety info. I've met such great neighbors when I've gone to pick up fresh eggs, honey and all sorts of free stuff. Probably most dear to my heart is how ND helped me get my dog back 2 days after workers accidentally let him out. Thanks NextDoor!
Some information on Nextdoor is senseless and useless. It takes up space for some other better information.
I have enjoyed reading the items on Nextdoor. A lot seems to be negative things. I would like to see more people use it to post Garage Sales, Bake Sales and other things going on in the Northend.
Nice way to get to know some of your neighbors and find out what's going on...
I read it most days, or parts of it anyway...
I feel strongly about the lost animals that are reunited with their families
NextDoor.com is a great value-added resource for our neighborhood. At first, you tend to look at it as Facebook for neighborhoods, but it is much more. Unlike 30 years ago, people don't come outside and visit much. Nextdoor is a way of getting to know who lives locally. Also, Nextdoor is a valuable source of info for contractors and services that others have used and have good experiences with.
I am frustrated with the number of folks asking for suggestions on who to hire for various jobs who have apparently not yet checked the Classified section of Nextdoor to see who has already been suggested and reviewed. Other than that, I think this is a valuable service to the neighborhoods!
Love having access to what's happening in my community, it's important to know one's own surroundings
Nextdoor will put you in nextdoor jail for any topic that anyone finds offensive. Regardless of the actual content of the post.
At some point, we have to stop pandering to the lowest common denominator of what's offensive and be able to have some semblance of free speech.
I'm honestly becoming somewhat disturbed with how easily everyone is ok with rampant censorship in the name of PC culture.
As my title indicates... A lot of useful information runs through... Sometimes good and sometimes bad... but... always very interesting!
Way too many old posts recycled as new posts in Nextdoor Digest. Some things stay on for weeks, even past the date of an event.
I would like it to be easier for people who are not tech savvy. I find it hard to get more of the info i want and less of the information I am not interested in. And how to get to a spot on the site that will show me where to go to find out what to do to solve this
Hello. Placing a review here so perhaps I could get a response from a person who works at NextDoor. I have 2 homes and tried to set up 2 Nextdoors. The app really makes it difficult to set up more than 1 home location therefore I used my first name twice. Evidently this program verifies your legal name against your address and because they do not like my name I am removed from using the application. Is this discrimination? Next door please clean this up!
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.
