Don't bother using it
September 13, 2018

The community of next door is comprised of nothing but people
A. Complaining bout packages stolen
B. Complaining bout no parking
C. Complaining or wrongly identifying people who could be threats in the neighborhood.
Very few people positively contribute to it. Stay away

We have been fortunate to have great monitors so far. Our local law enforcement and city leaders use to answer questions, neighbors help each other by reporting suspicious activity in their area, leads have been gracious. We have helped each other diffuse angry neighbors by getting them information to help them out.
Sometimes there are stupid and mean statements but so far neighbors and city officials have managed to nip it in the bud.
SO far good. I hope it continues.

I just found out yesterday that at least 4 of my neighbors cars were broken into twice in the last 2 weeks. I would have never known about this without Nextdoor.

We are all too busy to talk with each other. We get home at night and want to stay in. This app helps the neighborhoods stay connected and allows us to know of problems.

This app is great to report missing and found pets.

Nextdoor lets us know what stores are being opened and what is being constructed in our neighborhood. It also allows us to network and find local people for our service needs.

I just found out that a road was completed that cuts 15 minutes off my travel time when I need to go in that direction.

Keep Connected
December 21, 2019

Next Door is a genius idea! It actually gives me comfort to know that my Neighbors stay connected... give honest opinions for recommendations requested & reminders of upcoming events such as "Hey. Tomorrow is recycle day!" or even send the cops to your house! Yup. My 2 year old Granddaughter got ahold of my phone & somehow posted a bunch of letters & symbols to Next Door. Well. My neighbors saw this. Thought something happened to me & sent the local police to my house for a well check! Just this showed me how invaluable this site is!

Biased and Unfair
October 17, 2017

This company has favorites among it's members. And will edit 'comments' to favor certain members. And to discriminate against others. Then they pull the 'comments' so that you don't have evidence against them to support their treatment of you. A TOTALLY biased site.

I am no longer using this app. I deactivated my account and do did the rest of my family. It is so full of rude people that attack you for no reason and the administration allows it. No matter how many flags and reports I send NOTHING is done. I will never recommend it to anyone, I will warn them not to join. It would be a great app if it were managed by people who didn't tolerate calling names, attacking people and defamation of character. It needs new management or it needs to be shut down.

Someone posted a picture of a cat that wandered onto their property. Did not respond to any neighbors inquiring for more information, suggestions for no-kill rescues, speculating that they may know the owner...

Silence of 24 hours. Then the jerk posted an update that "the issues was closed" because it was taken to the pound to the prior day and was to be euthanized within 24 hours.

I call the person out for being a "$#*!". I am banned.

The person that discards the lives of neighbor's pets without any due diligence? Valued member of the Nextdoor community.

Nextdoor connects me with my neighbors.
May 17, 2019

I appreciate Nextdoor because it connects me with my neighbors, and in touch with what is happening in my neighborhood. It's great to see when someone posts that they are in need of something, they can count on their neighbors to offer assistance.

I hired Cruz Tre Service to cut down a large tree and pruned three other trees. I'm very very satisfied with their work they were on time very professional they took caution with my property and very affordable. I found them at my neighbors house they took down a massive tree for them. I will be using this company in the up coming months to remove three granddaddy trees.

Sexist censorship
March 4, 2017

Two well-informed, highly observant and articulate women in the Leisure World of MD neighborhood group have either been removed altogether from the forum or in the case of one, removed as co-lead. The remaining co-lead (now sole leader) refuses to call this out as blatant sexism.

After a few years of being a member i wrote an article stating the fact that on Memorial Day I noticed the lack of American flags being flew and a great number of pride flags being displayed which i thought was sad because people are forgetting why they have the freedom to display them in the first place. This earned me a 3 day ban with no explanation. They seem to allow diragitory statements while mine was an observation

Nextdoor.com (Hilltop Heights) has very little value in our Caldwell, ID neighborhoods. Now all poster pages won't even allow me to "see more" and "view post". I can no longer log in to post a message to anyone. (I didn't post very often and have NOT ever been notified that I might have ben banned.) This is a recurring issue and Nextdoor.com won't solve it! The site is a worthless waste of time and effort, Sent it to the Junk File!

NextDoor is an unethical organization which censors posts if they are perceived to interfere with the objective of acquiring more members. They claim to be for neighborhoods but they are for themselves. It has been clearly exposed that they will eventually be selling advertising to businesses as their source of revenue. They get more money by selling the number of users they can reach. Do not be misled this is not a pure organization to support better neighborhoods they are playing a numbers game only.

Oh, if you have any questions about NextDoor's unethical behavior don't forget the founder was recently found guilty of a Felony Hit & Run. The founder sets the ethical mindset of the organization.

This app and Democratic platform censors users who are not in line with the Democratic agenda. Three groups I am in have each been shut down 2x as well as my personal account shut down 2x as well. Reasons are totally unknown. This last time my personal account was shut down after making 1 comment (which I rarely do) regarding being kind to each other because people on the original post were attacking others... I have now deleted ND for good. I'm so thankful I didn't sign up for their business advertising, 12 month contract at over $500/mo.
Good riddance ND.

Not for me
February 7, 2017

When told that streetlife was closing down and that it was merging with nextdoor I moved my account over. I was horrified to see so much information on the site about me, they published my full address with a map showing everyone on my neighbourhood where I lived. I did not ask for this information to be made public, what right do they have to show it. Sorry nextdoor but you are out for me, If I could give negative stars I would.

They completely ignore CCPA trying to use a loophole by saying they need to retain you data for "we are unable to comply with your request for deletion of your personal information, as it is necessary for us to maintain this information for reasons that may include maintaining the security of our platform, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, and/or exercising or defending legal claims." They are abusing this, are a horrible company that need to be sued out of existence.

Found that comments I had made related to local policing policy after a shooting on my street had mysteriously disappeared from the website. When I asked NextDoor why these comments had disappeared without any notification being given, their response was that they had received a report that the comments (which were extremely polite and essentially amounted to "we need better politicians that will prioritize reducing violent crime") were deemed to "violate their community standards" and were moderated by the "community lead".

They clearly do not care about free speech, do not care about fostering an open dialog in the community, and are essentially another digital forum for NIMBYs and grumpy retired folks to complain.

These community is actively making our neighborhood worse (maybe that's why the CEO moved away from my neighborhood?) and needs to go away.

Having to "Hide" posts only to have them keep popping up is Not Good! There is no monitoring or oversite!
I rejoined after deleting this app over a year ago, due to some inappropriate content. I only rejoined in the hopes of finding some local help.
It does not seem to be worth the time or energy and is just plain frustrating. It's too much like Facebook in the way people "react", which is useless! I HATE Facebook and so it looks like I will be leaving this one too. I tried to find a site to contact whoever is managing it, but even that was a pain in the behind!

Banned from Next Door?
February 19, 2018

I strongly opposed an opinion to a radical neighbor's post who wants all homeless people banned from the City we live in. My post took a rather sarcastic tone. In her post she called me "vile." She is not banned, but I am. I don't care for the fact that if a lead doesn't like my post, I'm banned just. Like. That... No warning, no communication. I used to enjoy NDN mostly to find out about garage sales and community news and events. Thanks a lot, NDN.
