NEXTDOOR is the best way to communicate with my neighbors. We use NEXTDOOR several times a month and find our neighbors appreciate this method of communication..
Nextdoor is what our neighborhood is about. Our children, our pets and our shopping experiences and our emergencies. Mercifully it is not abused with controversy or politics and religion.
It's a great way to connect with neighbors. Could improve ability to add photos and PDFs, and to block weirdos, but overall a great idea tool.
I love the idea of Nextdoor and being able to interact with neighbors about local discussions. My only frustration is not being able to manage the notifications better. I would prefer not to get a notification for every "Thank" and it would be great to be able to turn that feature off.
I love using Nextdoor to help with lost animals and being up to date on Crime and Safety. I do have trouble sometimes with internet signal but I think that's just the Cove
I enjoy getting the notices daily, and find a great deal of useful information. The "Heads Up" notices are particularly nice because they alert me to what could become a problem (scam, etc.).
I enjoy the Nextdoor site. I can get great advice and recommendations from people that know the area. It is nice to be able to help others with their questions. Perfect way to sell or gift items.
I think that Next Door' is a good way to keep up with what is happening in the neighborhood, both positive and negative. Just like life, there are the occasional jerks and inappropriate people and comments but like all forms of social networking, you can just scroll past or engage as you wish. As a means of helping crime prevention, I think it is a very good message board. I encourage all of my neighbors to join.
As someone who has a primary residence and a vacation home, both neighborhoods in which I am a nextdoor member, it is REALLY inconvenient to have to use separate emails or logins to jump between the two different accounts I was forced to set up. If there's a way to link all memberships to one email/login, that would be a big plus.
I do not care for the new format of your daily emails. They are hard to follow and not nearly as easy as the previous format
I ALWAYS FIND A TRUSTED LOCAL CONTRACTOR CLOSE TO HOME AT A REASONABLE PRICE! FOR EXAMPLE I FOUND A GREAT LANDSCAPER LAST YEAR WHO PLANTED NEW GRASS AND IT LOOKS GREAT.
I have used Nextdoor for a while and my feelings were mixed because a friend of mine who also uses the platform responded about a subject and really didn't say anything wrong but they pulled his post and canceled hi membership at 3 Am in the morning.
What now has me concerned is the new policy updates which normally are given in advance so people can make a decision to stay or go in this case the update to policy was less then 24 hours and should. Be read and reread by each person who uses the site. From what I read is that they will give your private information to 3 rd party venders and that includes your personal, private, and even financial information and they have no problem telling you it's the right if the company to do what they want with that information. I sent an email to them asking about this and that asked me point blank if I don't agree which apparently I don't then am I submitting my request to cancel my membership. This is very wrong what that are doing with ur private Information this is exactly what Facebook did and was scolded for by Congress. My membership is being canceled now because I told them I was writing this review and within a few hours I was pulled and denied access. Read it for yourself. You should have received an email with the policy updates. Any privacy update that takes hours to read through should raise a red flag
I love the Nextdoor site. It provides so much useful information and an overall great reference when looking for services.
On each opening page, including any posting, the reader should be able to click on a link to a list of contents e.g. items for sale, previously posted vendors, etc.
Some of the information is useful; however, there tends to be overload! Hard to determine what needs to be eliminated. I'm sure it's important to the individuals posting it.
This group keeps me updated on all the local things going on good or bad. I can also search to find local events and activities in my community or communities near me.
Good way to keep up with the neighbor's, community and city. Like announcements from city departments as well as events happening. Lost and found, items for sale and reccomdations are great.
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.
