HEAR WHAT NEIGHBORS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT NEXTDOOR
“Before Nextdoor, I didn’t know there were several qualified babysitters living nearby and looking for work. It was easy to feel comfortable hiring my neighbor’s daughter to watch my son after school.” – Patrick, Mission East
“This year for Spring Cleaning, we wanted to sell old appliances, tools, clothing and electronics on Nextdoor For Sale & Free. In no time, our neighbors stopped by to make a deal and take things off our hands. It was easier than anything else, and it feels good knowing our old stuff has found a new home in the neighborhood.” – Dan, Hayes Valley

California “”Do Not Sell My Information”” Notice: www.nextdoor.com/do_not_sell
I get emails and push notifications showing clips of various posts. This is fine. But sometimes, these post clips are interesting enough for me to click on it to see the rest of it. The problem is that when I click to see the post, I never takes me to the post. Ever. I then have to scroll past endless (and repetitive) ads and irrelevant content to get to what I want to see. If I click on something, TAKE ME TO THAT! Not the endless other junk people post that I have absolutely no interest in!
What happened to this app? It used to be helpful and easier to use, now it’s just disorganized and confusing! I can’t ever find what I’m looking for. The UI is not intuitive whatsoever. I went in to feed settings and changed it to show “most recent posts” first, then it says my selection expires in 60 days?! What is the purpose of that? Also when I click on a notification, it NEVER takes me to the post, just opens up the main feed and I have to try and search for it, which almost never works.
When notifications work, they’re usually to old posts where no one has commented in 24 hours… But 90% of the time, the notification doesn’t even open the post – just the app home page. And search is bad, so good luck finding what you wanted to see. People helped look for my cat once so I added a star for that (he came back on his own). Edit: I tried to contact, but the reply link takes me to a questions page w/ no relevant options. I’m not the one with the questions.
While useful, there is no rhyme or reason to how posts show up on the home feed. Posts from “friends” across the street might take days to show up, if at all. Some posts generate notification emails, some don’t. Sometimes, cannot even comment on city-wide posts even though my neighborhood is in the city limits. Frustrating to use, limited value, every second post is an ad.
This app is nothing like what it used to be. I recently reactivated my account from a few years ago and I had to double check to make sure this was the same app. It’s horrible! I see posts from neighborhoods several miles away. Posts are not in order by date, there’s no option to filter or sort. This app has went down hill considerably and it’s shown in all the recent reviews.
Sure to put functionality and the inability to have this moderated I’ll probably uninstall this app. The MOST infuriating aspect of this app is the fact that when zi click on a notification I want to read, it opens the app and DOESN’T take me to the notification! Then it’s no where to be found in the feed. Secondly, the filters don’t work! For instance… I used the ‘Most recent’ filter setting and a post from two days was above one from 15 minutes ago. Fix this!
This app is horrible. It’s like Facebook if the algorithms didn’t exist. It shows me posts from people far away, and I have a hard time finding stuff from the surrounding neighborhoods. Also, if you get a notification about a post, clicking it will open the app, but it won’t take you to the post. Instead, you have to hunt for it like everything else. Easily the least user-friendly social media app ever made.
App user beware! There is a feature within Nextdoor that allows it to send snail mail to your neighbors to join the app, and it will list your name and address if you dont turn it off. Go to your account, click on settings, and then privacy. At the very bottom of the page, you can toggle off the feature that allows Nextdoor to use your info to send invitation letters to neighbors. I do not like this feature, but other than that, the app is good. Contains ads.
ND used to be awesome! Recent changes have made it impossible to find what I’m looking for and it’s awful. Will uninstall unless they change back. It’s worthless in it’s current state. Update: I reinstalled to help look for a lost dog. Still impossible to find what you’re looking for and the most intrusive notifications I’ve ever seen from an app before. I finally was able to figure out how to disable the worst one through a reddit post. Nextdoor “help” is also useless.
I’ve really wanted this app to be the resource I feel it could be, but the sheer number & frequency of ads ruin the user-experience. It continues needing a major UI overhaul, and an ‘Ad-Free Subscription option needs to be offered. Otherwise, what could be a wonderful community sharing resource, remains a cluttered mess of way too many ads mixed in with a few posts dominated by busy-body, gossip types that create hostility & in-fighting. The UI has slowly improved, but still needs much work!
The invasiveness of next door is shocking. They can access your exact address and send you hundreds of emails and notifications, how is this legal. It took me 30 minutes to go through the notification menu and the next day I discovered I had a dozen emails. The first time I tried next door I found over a hundred emails within a week. If you don’t turn off every notification option they authorize emails form about ten agencies. They don’t allow you to delete the app easily.
Worst application ever! Everything is so DIFFICULT. 1. If you start typing a post, it refreshes out of nowhere and deletes everything you typed. Type posts somewhere else and paste it on app. 2. Notifications are a royal mess! You get them all meshed together and it’s hard to tell which are which. Like if you are trying to find the ones from your post. The worst! 3. Search for a post subject if it has 2 words, results separate the words. And the list keeps going!
I want to love this app but there are so many negatives. 1. When you set your feed preference, it only lasts for 60 days and then reset it! What a pain! 2. There is no way to select multiple private messages to delete at one time (like you can in email). Say you list an item for free and get 20 replies, you have to individually delete each message. 3. ND automatically remove posts THEY consider disinformation. Like the rest of the media, they are actively suppressing free speech based on bias.
The app is very confusing to navigate and find recent posts. I was trying to use this app for some business advertising but it seems like a few of the text boxes and buttons just don’t work. And switching between personal and buisness profiles is not at all intuitive to operate.
App mostly works, but search is horrible and they have starting forcing you to get notifications from all over the place (I assume to increase views for advertising). Don’t know how many times I’ve clicked on a post to find out it’s 900 miles away. Notifications are impossible to filter and even your feed automatically reverts back to default after 30 days.
This is a handy app to find Items or services to buy or sell in your area. Also handy for finding out what is going on locally. Unfortunately, IMO, the app is really just a scaled down, shittier version of disgusting FB. You can still form private groups, which are sometimes little hate groups, just like FB. I frequently have to Google to figure out how to do things on this app. Still cannot delete PMs and notifications that show up from all over the country. Very annoying.
I no longer post or reply to posts bc tapping anywhere on the right side of the message box sends the message as if you tapped the arrow itself. Then if you tap edit to continue your message the cursor it’s at the start of the message so I tapped after the last word to continue on but nope, it sent the message, 3 times this happened so I just deleted the message as with so many more ion the past. The entire right side of the message box is a send button. This app is only to read not reply. Junk
I’ve had nothing but issues with this app. I tried to post on the business page I created with my personal one. I try to post and it says I have too write something. When my picture speaks for itself. Or I write a few words and it says it’s too short. In addition to that I try too upload images and they never upload. Great concept poor execution.
Terrible, search is broken. If you search, “lost cat” it scrolls through several cat jewelry and figurine items for sale, then just before it gets to real lost cat posts, it refreshes the page automatically and repeats the top ads. I can’t scroll past the sale ads to see real posts on what’s happening locally. I’ve tried to post, but no idea how to post anything lost as there are only sale and general categories. I can read whatever is sent in email, but good luck trying to find that post again.
Newly update app now has a place to turn off notifications you might have missed. It does not work. Nothing has changed. I turned them off because I don’t want them. Quit sending me notifications to let me know about things I’ve turned notifications off for (notifications you might have missed… and don’t actually want to see!). I’d like to give a good rating but these stupid flaws prevent it.
Probably one of the worst UI designs in an app that I’ve ever used. I’ve been trying to write a post on my neighborhood page for 30 minutes but cannot find the buttons to do so. Also, Notifications are so nuanced you need to spend 45 minutes turning things off so your phone doesn’t explode from useless posts
Intuitive? Nope. Ads? Yup. Quite an unresponsive app, overall it feels pretty terrible to use. The default phone and email notifications are waaaaay too much. The in app popups are especially bad. As the saying goes, UI/UX is like a joke, if you have to explain it, it’s bad.
Tells me to update, but it has no option to update. Nextdoor reached out and asked for a recording of malfunction, however, when I attempted to send a video file, the link they provided does not accept video files. Video was less than 15 seconds long. Please advise. Whenever I try to check group profile, Nextdoor states I need an updated version. When I click to update, it does not give me an option to update, just the “open” and “uninstall” on the Google play screen.
Maybe I write too much on posts, but editing as you’re typing is EXCRUCIATING! Hitting backspace lags every single time, and will delete whatever amount of letters even when pressing it a single time. I’ve been on this app for only 4 days and have had it crash twice, which completely got rid of everything I was writing! Even typing this now and being able to freely change things feels strange now😒
I would absolutely love if it would allow me to change my profile photo or even put one at all. But nope. Wanna change your photo? Not a viable option. Want to put a photo up for the first time? Not a viable option. You’re supposedly able to get more of a reach with a profile photo and yet it doesn’t want you to have one. Seriously? Oh and don’t think you can put any others up, or even the old one. Won’t work. App is bull. You can’t even submit your issue to the site they say to. Absolutely bull
I keep getting notifications for old posts about things that happened days ago. I get a notification about a power outage- that happened 2 days ago, I was there, never got a notification DURING the power outage. Same thing with lost/found pets, crime, etc, no notifications when your neighbors post, then a few days later when it’s old news Nextdoor decides to notify you.
I just LOVE how frequently it freezes, crashes, doesn’t respond, and, my favorite part, takes forever to load while I’m using it, if it loads at all. Everything I’m looking for in an app. I can’t STAND stable apps that load quickly and work flawlessly. That just makes using it unenjoyable if it actually works. Edit: You can sign up on Nextdoor with a phone number on a browser, but you CANNOT use it to sign in on the app! This app just keeps getting better and better with its lack of features 🥰
It’s a decent app but it’s slow to load pages and the way the app deletes notifications is not the ideal way. It should mimic the way Gmail deletes email messages. It should allow you to tap and hold to select multiple notifications that can be deleted all at one time. The current way of sliding left and tapping the trash can is not very user friendly as you can only delete one at a time. I get too many notifications daily for that kind of slow action. Might have to just get rid of the app.
The app messes with my phone’s brightness setting somehow! It should not have access to my system settings!! Hate the new interface! Hard to find a group you are a member in, hard to find anything. AND NOW, the app crashes when scrolling the home screen. Doesn’t crash anywhere else though. I have Uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled twice. It’s Just a completely useless app now!
Honestly the most obnoxious app in terms of notifications I have ever dealt with. 13 different notification section with 3 different notification options in each (in app, email, and push). Then there’s the public section that has EIGHTEEN subsections comprised of local, state, and utilities all with 3 notification options. Absolutely absurd and there needs to be an overall on off switch for each option to be able to trigger all in app, email, and push on or off. Devs dropped the ball hard.
I signed up, but after I entered my address, for some reason it changed my address at the last second and so it entered a wrong address, in an entirely different city. And then the app said I couldn’t change my address for a month. I started getting notifications for this random neighborhood, tried to turn those off, but kept getting some anyway. Waited a month, tried to change address, had to reset password, it didn’t change address, and when I tried again, it froze and then said too many tries
Basically a good app for neighbor info, i.e, during disasters like the freeze, crime and others emergencies. Could there be better settings i.e change from dark mode, chronological posts, filters, etc.? Thanks for providing a great app that’s free. Hope the ads make you money and don’t take advantage of us that start thinking there are too many. Thanks 👍
I’m super frustrated with this app! I keep getting notifications from places outside my neighborhood….usually outside of my STATE. I’ve tried going in and changing preferences. Today a post showed up for a garage sale, it was posted in my neighborhood for an unfamiliar street. I tried looking on Google maps and couldn’t find it. Eventually clicked on the person posting it….it was from a completely different state!!!! I’ve had it. Waste of my time!!!
I use this app, like most people, for important information about my neighborhood. Unfortunately, it’s a regular occurrence to receive email notifications days after something has occurred. All of my notifications are turned on in the app. This is unacceptable! I’ve missed information about power outages and safety issues due to not receiving notifications. What’s the point of the app if I am not notified of concerns or issues until days later?
Fix your app ASAP. I like the app at its core, but the persistent bug of continuous refreshing of my placement on the page that I’m currently on and losing all my progress and constantly scrolling back to where I was last reading and replying to is very infuriating and completely ruins the user experience. Also, I can’t load replies randomly?! What? People are right, this app is a buggy mess and you’re ruining it. Start it all over. One star. I expect a useless canned response as usual.
After delving down deeper, much of the functionality that is on the web is either not enabled on the app, or it flat out don’t work. Kind of amazing this company has been around since 2008 and have so many holes in the functionality. Not sure why you push “install the app” on the webpage if it don’t work. 1 map won’t load neighborhood land claims. 2 many screens just load forever. 3 events in another neighborhood I’m next to / joined don’t show on my feed. 4 hard to find accepted friends…
Constant bombardment from other neighborhoods on the other side of the country. I tried changing my notifications and feed to not receive anything out of my area and it did not work. I am constantly getting emails and notifications that I don’t care about and aren’t anywhere near me, and I cannot stop it. It makes the app completely useless because I feel too harassed to use it.
Only issue’s I have is that you can’t fully block anyone, atleast I can’t seem to figure it out. Second, when I got to select a photo out of my gallery, I go to choose the album, and press all the photos, and it doesn’t save them… it just says upload later. Those two things being fixed would make this app perfect
Nice idea, but bad execution. It is 90% “sponser” posts, and 10% stale content that doesn’t sort with any rhyme or reason (and your personal settings expire…you have to keep resetting them). It’s also full of self-promoting crooks, so be wary. They recently opened up the main feed to ‘local ads and self promotion’, so the app is now 99.99999% spam. See no reason to continue using it.
If you need any assistance dealing with bugs in their program (theres many), There’s a good chance your business pages and profile will be deleted or reset in some way. You’ll end up with duplicate accounts can’t navigate to the one that you want, and their solution to fixing it is to delete everything on you . I built up 2 business pages on this app just for some bugs to get in the way, and then the pages were next door’s method of fixing it
