Nextdoor: Neighbor Marketplace 12+

Nextdoor App

I was recently told about this app and I instantly went on my play store and looked it up, read a few of the reviews and comments about the app, because I’m not one who just down loads just any app to my phone because there are some of these apps that are really just trash and there are usually a lot of those scammers on a lot of those apps like What’s App. I wouldn’t download that app to my phone if they paid me money to do it, just a bunch of scammers on the app, but anyway I am really enjoying this next door app. I have connected to a few of my neighbors that live around me and I also find the app very helpful in very many ways so I would definitely recommend this app to anyone else that’s looking for a app that connects you to other people who are interested in keeping their neighborhoods safe and it’s really good to see how people communicate with each other through the app. So I love it so far and I’m looking forward to meeting many more of my neighbors regardless of where they live. And another thing that I really find very great about this app, is that there are also so many people who are also interested in just helping other people out regardless of their ability to pay for the services or the items that they are offering. It’s a really great app for sure and it’s a really great way to help people out.

Options on the app

I love this app for so many reasons. I like knowing about car break ins, and things to be aware of for safety of my children at specific times in the day when people mention strange people in the neighborhood.
I love responses I get about experienced neighbors have had with specific out patient care like doctors, dentists, and other providers in the area. This app is great for new comers and very welcoming. We learn about good restaurants, outdoor activities, and good vendors etc.
The reason I gave this a low rating is because I would live the option to hide specific posts about animals on the lose, or families looking for their animals, and everyone letting each other know when their animals came home or when/where they were located.
There have been SO many posts that I wish that there could be a separate option within this app to view the “animals on the loose” posts. It would streamline pertinent information for those individuals who are looking for their animals, and if one was wandering ppl can post in this specific area and allow non-animal owners, or those of us who aren’t seeing lost animals, to streamline the information on the page.

Buggy, SLOOOOW, and where is everything??!

Nextdoor has become increasingly slower and buggier, and options that were easy to find before are now hidden and take several clicks to locate. You can swipe and swipe and swipe before the screen will actually scroll. Clicking on a post or image? Hurry up and wait, and half the time now the whole app freezes up. Even typing a comment is a monumental effort … I’ll have the entire sentence typed before it shows up on my screen. Then there’s the censors and moderation. I’m a neighborhood lead and have been for several years. I petitioned hard to become one. But then Nextdoor decided to dump a bunch of random people in as moderators. Many have absolutely NO idea what the rules regarding content even are! They’ll flag one word comments like, “Really?” as public humiliation. Because it was directed toward them or their pal. *true story* It’s frustrating to those of us who originally were tasked with this responsibility. Nextdoor’s auto-censor algorithms are utterly ridiculous too … flagging words like “stupid” or “jerk” and reminding us to be “nice.” 😐 Nextdoor: you have an awesome thing going here, great idea overall and content, but PLEASE bring back the earlier format! Speed things up, minimize the constant barrage of irrelevant ads, and go back to neighborhood leads only instead of all this random crap. I don’t expect a response to this review … Nextdoor isn’t real keen on that sort of thing either unfortunately.
