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..

The notifications are somewhat slow on the app. I wish i could opt out on the email motivations but keep the app notifications.

Part of the Routine of Living
May 23, 2019

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.

Good way to connect
May 23, 2019

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.

Very happy resident
May 23, 2019

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.

90 % good
May 23, 2019

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.

Next door member
May 23, 2019

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.

Obviously there is a lot I'm not interested. I tell people who are looking for things that always post on next-door

Go back to old format
May 23, 2019

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 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

Need For a More Usable Webite
May 22, 2019

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.

Experience with NextDoor
May 22, 2019

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.

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.
