Neighbourly is the free and private neighbourhood app for New Zealand that creates an easy way for neighbours to talk and share online. Members use Neighbourly to create free and private websites for their suburbs to exchange advice, find and make recommendations for local services, share events, sell or give away unwanted items, discuss local crime, locate lost pets and ultimately get to know one another. Join Neighbourly and help build a stronger, safer and friendlier place to call home. Safe and Secure Each member of Neighbourly must use their real name and verify their address so you can trust who you’re sharing information with. Neighbourly accounts are also password protected and encrypted. Information shared on Neighbourly will never show up in Google or other search engines - nor will it be shared with advertisers. You can use Neighbourly to: • Plan a street party • Alert your community to a spate of vehicle break-ins • Share a photo of a visiting dog to locate owner • Discuss what impact Local Council plans will have on the neighbourhood • Recommend a trustworthy local mechanic or a great plumber • Ask when the roadworks down by the local park will be complete • Grab the contact details of a good local babysitter • Find out which cafe in the area has the best Eggs Benny • Share sporting cancellations and updates • Sell an unused sofa • Let neighbours know mail has been stolen • Ask if anyone can loan a ladder • Organise a neighbourhood watch group • Ask for times of the walking school bus • Discuss local charities and how to get involved "Every tech product under the sun seems aimed at teenagers these days – it’s nice to see something for everyone else" - Henry Cooke, Sunday News "Neighbourly is a great tool for drawing the community together. I already knew I lived in a vibrant area and Neighbourly expresses this every day through every post." - Simon O'Connor, MP for Tamaki "Just a quick message to say that the iPhone app is superb. Brilliant styling and the look and feel is on the money. Very impressive." - Kelvin James, Auckland

Change ‘set price’ option
22 Feb

Thanks Sky
This is a great platform to connect however there are 2 issues that need to be addressed. First - the ‘set price’ option. I wasn’t able to set a lower number than $100. There is no decimal point made available when trying to add a lower price. Second - the ‘contact us’ option comes up with a 403 error message. This needs to be fixed.

Toxic platform that enables bully behaviour

I have been on Neighbourly for sometime but due to ‘grammar police’ and public posted offensive comments by individuals outside of my direct neighbourhood I have left. If you suggest remote diagnosis of conditions isn’t needed you yourself become a target where these individuals will read all your pre-edit posts to pick holes. Unsure whether influx of this behaviour is due to the Stuff publication ceasing Facebook links but Neighbourly do not monitor replies and behaviour on the platform in a valid manner. By the time a report of abuse is processed the damage is done. Simply not a ‘neighbourly’ or beneficial site to be involved in...more a journalism and advertising link that enables trolls. Simply toxic, damaging and not needed in its current state. Sadly active moderation needs implementing. Being linked to Stuff you also wave your right to privacy away as there is no way to state or select wishes of ‘NFP’ or not for publication. You need to write NFP on every reply or interaction. Cautious use is a must.

Privacy Concerns

Besides being primarily a media advertising and bias media comment gathering, look at the way they pose the questions when asking for opinion or experience on an article they are running on Stuff, but the biggest concern is when you sign up and have to enter your address it displays your full address for all verified nearby neighbours to see and are actually notified of when you first sign up. You actually have to change the settings in your profile to hide this information but by then it’s already been distributed. When this was raised previously a staff members replies to comments raising privacy concerns were phased in a way as if they were answering as a user and didn’t see a problem as it was only available to a restricted set of verified members. When identified identified them as a staff member they no longer engaged.

Folks I use the neighbourly market place function and have both bought And sold using the platform and find it very effective However one function seems to cause a little frustation is ads that stay on the site after they have been sold sometimes for many weeks I understand that there is a responsibility for the seller to remove the item once it is sold but this seems not to happen is there any practical fix for this ..? Thank you regards
