"As a homeowner and parent, safety is my top priority. Nextdoor keeps me instantly informed about everything from power outages to safety alerts right on my street. I also found an incredible local plumber through a neighbor's recommendation. It truly makes our neighborhood feel like a tight-knit community where everyone looks out for each other."

"I love how easy it is to find local gems and give back to my community. I recently cleared out my garage using the 'Free & For Sale' section and joined a local pickleball group all in the same week! It is the best way to meet neighbors and stay connected with what is happening just a few blocks away."

Summary

This app receives predominantly negative feedback, with numerous users reporting widespread bugs such as issues with activity feeds, inconsistent notifications, and general performance problems including freezing and sluggish scrolling. A major point of contention is the app's moderation, which many describe as biased, politically motivated, and enabling of hateful content, leading to a toxic community environment and frequent censorship. While some users appreciate its utility for local connections, selling goods, or finding lost pets, the overall experience is marred by persistent privacy concerns, intrusive real-name policies, a deluge of advertisements and spam, and difficulties with account management.
