Nextdoor is the place to be if you want to keep current on what is happening in your area. You can find great recommendations from your neighbors on things like home repairs, lawn care, day care, restaurants, etc. Local law enforcement and government agencies also post on the site which is helpful in keeping current on important developments. Love my Nextdoor community!
This is a great site for neighbors to network with each other. I would give it 5 stars, but they need to clarify their rules for posting because sometimes people try to boss and bully other users of the site by claiming they are not following rules of posting, especially as regards the new Nearby Neighbors feature.
I really enjoy being part of the Nextdoor online community. I think Nextdoor and its platform does a wonderful job of making our community feel more connected and informed. I also like that it doesn't have all that unnecessary stuff you see a lot on other social media platforms like Facebook. I'm really glad Nextdoor was created!
I love to go to Nextdoor to see what is going on in the community for safety issues. I also do animal rescue and it is an awesome place to report lost and found animals.
As a lead I do not like that my neighborhood does not seem to participate much. Any suggestions to get them inspired?!
I am a member of a community in Port St Lucie Fl and have benefitted many times from getting recommendations that I needed advice or information for. Maturity is the most important qualification for using this application.
Their real estate advertising is terrible. Nobody uses it and they removed the function to stop advertising. You will be paying for months of zero leads! Their youtube video on how to unsubscribe from paid advertising is wrong, following the directions does not work. They keep on charging me month by month with no phone number to call and talk to. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
This app promotes bullying and racist views. If you post honest information that other uses report as a violation, you will be banned, while users who promote false information remain unmitigated. I posted a picture of a man on my own private property in the early morning hours, trespassing, and did not note anything about his race and I was attacked by other users assuming his race and I got banned. I attempted to appeal my ban and I was ignored and permanently banned. This is not a community app, it is a biased and racist app. I had dozens of supporters and still got banned
I was stating facts about a dog and trying to understand this behavior that just all of a sudden appeared after days of being on the app. I was told i was mental, they then stated a slight comment about my parents, and the lead was a part of it. Nextdoor blocked me and did nothing about the bullies.
I even made a general post before being deleted about how nextdoor was allowing bullies.
There is no physical phone number to call just the email that they don't read but will reply with their guidelines WHICH not even they follow.
Screw nextdoor. Ill speak to whomever wants to hear it i have screenshots. If you ate a bully nd is for you, if you're not STAY AWAY.
ZERO STARS
Nextdoor was being used very successfully in our rural neighborhood until one lead, a neighbor with a history of problematic behavior, deleted a number of appropriate and civil posts while writing highly inflammatory posts herself and blocking others from commenting on them.
Three neighbors began correspondence with Nextdoor support asking that the lead in question be relieved of her duties. We provided clear examples of the leads transgressions and our correspondences were clear and polite.
We were told the lead was warned but shall remain as a lead. Nextdoor is not actively being used in our community anymore. Very, very unfortunate.
Nextdoor.com seemed like a good idea for people in the community to share events, concerns and fellowship. In the last few months, the site has become a political forum. Discussion will eventually become disagreements, which will result in a hostile community. I am discontinuing my membership before cliques and factions start to develop in my neighborhood.
Never needed it in the past, don't need it now. What ever happened to taking a walk in your community, to get to know your neighbors.
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.
