No proper moderation, Charity Platform

Reviewed 4 months ago

It's not the same as it was before. Now there's too many peddlers and beggars.

Pros

Being able to see notifications on safety issues in the neighbourhood

Cons

Too many people are now using the app to ask locals for money. There's no morderation. There's no ratings of the services.

A great way to welcome your new neighbors

Reviewed 3 years ago

My overall experience with Nextdoor is great. You connect to your neighbors in ways you never thought possible. Its helps get news around the neighborhood, lost/found pets back home, yard sales or other fun events taking place right in your neighborhood so interactive & easy to find what you need.

Pros

The interactions with neighbors is what I like most about the Nextdoor app. Its a great way to welcome your new neighbors.

Cons

The spam/advertisements that appear in between every interactions/post is what I like least about the Nextdoor appl

Great experience of receiving updates about my neighborhood

I use this app to get updates about my neighborhood. It’s also a great platform to receive alerts from MPD.

Cons

The app serves its purpose. Nothing really bad about it

Informative, entertaining app to be in the know in your neighborhood

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

The Nextdoor app is great for quickly and easily finding out what’s going on in your neighborhood. Mostly I really like the tried-and-true service recommendations. The app is intuitive and has a lot of different ways to communicate/participate and feel like you’re part of a community. The text alerts and email updates are my favorite features to always stay in the know.

Cons

A LOT of people enjoy complaining in the newsfeed section. If you’re able to get past that, there’s actually quite a bit useful information all in one place!

Great way to connect with people!

Reviewed 4 years ago

I find it a wonderful tool! It has more features than I thought when I first joined.

Pros

I love that the community is connected and can watch out for each other in this way. I have seen warnings about burglary and suspicious persons on it and was very appreciative to have had the heads up.

Cons

I think there could be some more categories for people to connect. For example, there could be a chess or book club category.

Easy to find new neighbors

Reviewed 3 years ago

It is very easy to start a conversation with people in your neighborhood about local issues. We have found the best deals on trash service, cable and internet through this app. It really is helpful to me.

Pros

I enjoy the "welcome" function. When someone new joins the neighborhood (and introduces themselves) it is simple to "welcome" them instead of writing out a comment. I feel like that makes people feel welcome without overwhelming them.

Cons

It is very difficult to find a post by searching keywords. And I would prefer to be able to block certain neighborhoods from my news feed, but I cannot do that. The emails that I get are not consistent or up-to-date.

Nextdoor app no good.

Reviewed 2 years ago

I got attacked by a troll and they took down my account for 3 days. Now I can't get through the verification process to log back on. I need to disable my acct.

Pros

Not much. Once in a while someone will post a video before it shows on the news. Rarely though.

Cons

The amount of rude people and trolls. The community attacks left and right wing depending on your status if it goes along with their narrative.

Great for communication

Reviewed 3 years ago

I love it and it is such a helpful app to post everything from lost and found to resources.

Pros

I love being able to keep up with my neighbors and communicate in a quick and efficient way! So nice!

Cons

The gossip like any social media can be frustrating but definitely not the next door apps fault there!

Facebook For Your Neighborhood

Reviewed 4 years ago

I think Nextdoor is a fine app, a front runner with the other social media apps. I do like how it's more relatable to my real life, because it is for the physical neighborhood in which I live.

Pros

I really like how this social media site has a feeling like Facebook. Mostly smooth with comparable features and functionality. One benefit to other social networking sites, is that Nextdoor is for my neighborhood specifically. It's an easy way to connect to my neighbors without the additional noise as on the other apps. I really like how there's a "lost and found" section and another for "sale and free items".

Cons

I did find this software to feel busy. There are a lot of options that do feel like a sort of overhead, and I don't think I would ever use. These are things like a map of my neighborhood, a business section, and real estate. Some may use them, but for me, it's just extra that I don't have the option hide. Overall, I don't feel the software is as intuitive as something like Facebook.

Glorified version of Facebook hyper-focused on your neighborhood

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

If you're looking for a social networking site that it specifically focused on your neighborhood, then Nextdoor is for you. I'm not a big social media person, nor am I terrible interested in interacting with my neighbors in this way, but I can see the value for some. I prefer face-to-face communication. The best thing is when people reach out for local help. That seems to be a huge benefit.

Cons

The biggest issue is that people like to be busy-bodies and the same things that creep into other forms of social media are present here, too.

Good Information, but Clumsy

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall, a good product. Be careful, some users are over the top and put way too much info/opinion into their posts.

Pros

There are lots of benefits of using Nextdoor, especially if you live in an active neighborhood. You can learn a lot about what is going on around you. Security updates about the neighborhood are helpful.

Cons

It can be clumsy to move around on the app. It is not as user friendly as it could be.

The most biased social app

Reviewed 9 months ago

Absolutely terrible. Biased and a waste of time

Pros

I liked neighbors sharing help advice and opiniona

Cons

Biased volunteers who over moderate and use person feeling to delete posts and comments. They can delete whatever they want regardless of the guidelines. No point in having a forum where people can’t express themselves.

Pros

It's a great way to communicate outside of Facebook for a community.

Cons

As a business, it is difficult to engage with the community and advertising is pricey for what you get.

Nextdoor is better than craigslist.

Reviewed 3 years ago

Nextdoor is a cool platform to connect with local residents, to read about local events and news.

Pros

Nextdoor has more real accounts of people in your local area. There is a close network of residents that you can connect with easily.

Cons

After spending a good amount of money on advertisements, we did not see successful results on the platform. I think people are more interested in connecting with local residents and buying used items.

Connect with your Neighbours!

Reviewed 3 years ago

A great start at creating better community in our neighbourhood.

Pros

Love that this is a way to get connected with my neighbourhood and stay aware of what's happening. Love the ability to ask for recommendations for quality companies for repair/household jobs. A great starting point to connect, that hopefully leads to lots more of saying hi to neighbours and a more community feel wherever you are.

Cons

It can feel a little spammy sometimes - I'm not always sure what the guidelines are, and some posts look like paid or sponsored posts, which makes it feel less community, and more like a flyer.

Nextdoor wastes my precious time

Reviewed 3 years ago

My overall experience after a week's worth of effort has been abysmal. Since others are reporting exactly the same issues, I'll likely just delete my profile and move on. Small business owners don't have time to mess around with software that doesn't function properly.

Pros

I can't get it to operate well enough to know what might be good about it. I set this up upon the encouragement of others in my local area.

Cons

I set this up a week ago and although I cannot get it to work even after visiting their Facebook page for advice, only to find that many others are having the same challenges, this still isn't functional. I can't see any activity in my community, the app fails and locks up. Meanwhile the emails keep pouring in encouraging me to pay for advertising on this site.
