As a very early user of Nextdoor, I found the service to be useful for neighborhoods. However I've found some unilateral change decisions to be poor for my use and my neighborhood, and web site bugs I've reported have been prioritized low and never corrected. And over the last year or two I've found an increase in focus for ads or other non-neighborhood-specific content, which certainly might make Nextdoor some money, but does no real good for the neighborhood.
Enjoy checking in every day. Love the neighbor recommendations and news. Why does this have to be 100 characters?
Well all was fine, but now I have no emails or anything; it just stopped. I thought I was taken off for some reason. I have tried to fix my settings but no good.
Nextdoor is an excellent way to communicate with the people in our area. Pets have been found and returned to their family, and much helpful information is provided. Some of the City of Ballwin Ordinances have been shared when people don't understand what is legal and acceptable.
Whether helping to find lost pets or sharing excellent workers for specific jobs, Nextdoor has given my neighborhood the right tools to communicate with each other! This online experience has also made us feel much safer and knowledgeable about events occurring around us1
I believe the site was originally set up for reporting suspicious things going on in a neighborhood and to let others be aware. That happens rarely on the site now. I do like that plus 'lost and found pets' and being able to contact neighbors you don't see on a regular basis. I just delete the messages that don't pertain to my area. So so far it's been good.
I had nothing but positive experiences on the site good to find out what's going on and to ask for recommendation.
I have used Nextdoor a multitude of times looking for recommendations of various services. I find it to be a wonderful tool in many facets. I visit Nextdoor on an average of 2/3 times daily. I stay informed about things going on in our area whether good or bad.
This is my favorite website. Team work and makes me feel safer. Love all the posts about animal sightings.
I stopped reading and posting on a regular basis on my local Nextdoor because there is too much negativity and bashing of neighbors. It has reached a point where I feel that the posters are online bullies.
I have put comments out about some of roads that were horrible and others agreed and some knew when repairs would be done. Like any site you will have those that like to down grade what your rant might be, but I have learned when that has happened to just take my post down and ignore them. I also like that when someone does a job that isn't their responsibility and someone puts a post on here about it. You find out who did it and you can give them a thank you.
I love the Nextdoor app for various reasons. It would be nice if people would learn how to use it a little better. Remove items that are sold, one posting for multiple items and be kind to one another. It is a great tool to keep in touch and get advice as well as being able to get rid of some stuff!
Generally a useful website/app but there are some strange posts. Also, users are too sensitive and flag light humor. Maybe limit flagging? Not sure but it is a useful service.
Nextdoor is a terrific app to get to know your neighbors and you community at large. There are ways to connect, ask questions, get information, and sell stuff if you want. I like the usability of the app and how you can send invitations to those that have not connected yet.
Biggest problem is nuisance of password protection...
Eliminate passwords and go to Touch ID instead..
I like Next Door, but I don't care for the recent change in the layout of the messages. Also, it seems like there are a lot more ads now. I'm still using it, but not as much as I once did.
So far, my postings have been unsuccessful, but am hopeful that will change. Look forward to enjoying Nextdoor for the future.
I enjoy that Nextdoor keeps me informed as to what is going on in my neighborhood in addition to advice on services and sales in the area. Very helpful
I've found Nextdoor to be both a pleasant and helpful experience. There have been times when I've had questions about local matters that I've found the same things were on others' minds.
I love being able to see what is happening in the moment in our neighborhoods. I also appreciate great recommendations for services
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.
