### "Great for Neighbors - not great for marketing tracking"

June 6, 2025

4.0

As a marketer, I find Nextdoor to be okay overall, but the reporting tools are frustrating. The biggest drawback is the inability to access data beyond 30 days, which makes it difficult to track long-term performance or compare campaigns over time. I value the local reach of the platform, but the lack of flexible reporting makes optimization more of a hassle than it should be.

Pros

From a marketing standpoint, it’s valuable because people trust the posts—they’re not just seeing ads; they’re seeing real conversations and referrals.

Cons

From a Marketing standpoint, you can only view stuff for your neighborhood if you are registered. As a marketer, I can not see neighborhood posts unless they tag the company name.

### "I Hope it Fails"

September 20, 2025

1.0

I used to enjoy the app in the city of Henderson,NV the Inspirada Neighborhood. I had no problems with the moderators. In the city of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina I'm on my 5th Suspension. I believe there is one moderator with HER radar on me, and swinging her rent a cop stick for all to feel. I've asked each time for feedback to get info on what I'm doing to break the rules, I get nothing. My hope fo not r this app is that it fails soon as it seems it won't take suggestions to improve.

Pros

Easy of Use Ability to Conn e ct with Neighbors Ability to Sell Items Read Reviews of Local Products and Services

Cons

The Rent a Cop attitude of the local moderator that has singled me out The lack of feedback after being suspended to take corrective action The decision not to take feedbsck for improvement

### "Great way to connect with your community!"

January 10, 2026

4.0

I’ve been a user for quite some time and will continue to utilize the program going forward. I haven’t seen a ton of advancement with the program. My biggest concern is those who use and abuse the platform, which is no different than any other type of social media platform.

Pros

I use this product in two different formats. Personally, I like that I can stay connected to events and announcements within my own neighborhood. On the work side, I am able to broadcast messages and announcements out to a specific geographical area.

Cons

1) The general search capabilities. At times, it is impossible to locate older entries, even after viewing them minutes before. 2) The users of Nextdoor can be quite ridiculous. Leaving responses open on posts can be quite the headache.

### "Poor moderators "

June 22, 2024

5.0

I enjoyed helping all my neighbors ,until you have to walk on eggshells talking to anyone.

Pros

Talking and helping neighbors. Local up to date entertainment and news.

Cons

Bias and judgemental moderators and guidelines. Suspends your account without any type of warning that you HURT someones feelings!

To much drama. Nextdoor isn't much different, to many people get their feelings hurt over simple things.

### "NEXTDOOR REVIEW"

January 14, 2026

5.0

I love my experience. It really helped me when I was out of town find contractors and talk to neighbors about what was happening on the local level.

Pros

I love Nextdoor because it keeps me connected to all of my neighbors. I know what's happening in my area, and it's great for contractor recommendations, and just keeping the community in the loop.

Cons

Seeing all the missing animals. I think it would be great if NEXTDOOR created something in the app to help with the missing animals. I know people post links, but so many people are looking for their fur babies it would be nice to have a centralized place for people to communicate.

### "LIBERAL MOB MENTALITY INCLUDING MODERATORS"

June 14, 2025

1.0

There is a mob mentality against any slight bit conservative view on this app. The moderators are out of control in Western Massachusetts. If you are a liberal, then you will love this app because you will be part of the mob and be protected and supported by the moderators. If you you are independent or conservative then I highly recommend not using this app unless you want to constantly fight for almost every post or comment to stay up in the feed and be attacked by the mob. Let liberals stay in their little bubble or "safe space" they cannot handle the truth unless it agrees with their ideology. I've contacted support and the \[sensitive content hidden\] about this and sent many examples/screenshots and because of that, they banned my account again. It's crazy, so save yourself the migranes independents and conservatives...TRUST ME!

Pros

Local marketplace. Other then that, the hate is real if you do not agree with far left liberal ideology blatently displayed.

Cons

Liberal double-standard and biased actions displayed against conservative and independent views. The mob mentality is unconscionable against you if you do not agree with far left ideology.

Pros

I like how nextdoor allows me to see not just what is going on in my neighborhood, but in my surrounding areas.

Cons

My least favorite thing about next door, honestly i can't say i truly have one. I feel like the application is amazing.

### "Nextdoor for Your Neighborhood "

April 23, 2025

3.0

Overall, NextDoor is useful for reaching the local people around you, to share your products and services with them on a local level.

Pros

Nextdoor is a social media tool that allows you to connect with local neighbors and people around you. Think Facebook for your community or hometown. You can create posts as well as schedule ads.

Cons

Nextdoor does not allow you to schedule posts out for future dates, you have to schedule them to post automatically.

5.0

### "Easy and User friendly"

February 5, 2023

5.0

Very positive, I like all the features that Nextdoor has to offer

Pros

The thing I like most about Nextdoor is that it is Taylor’s to each individuals needs. Users put in their zip code and area that they live. Select the neighborhood and it’s all local information. There isn’t going to be people from states away advertising their business to you when you looked up one thing one time.

Cons

I have never had a negative experience using the Nextdoor App.

### "Nextdoor app can save a life! "

August 20, 2021

5.0

I have had great luck with this app! Ive been lucky with finding used furniture that I could use, I have met several new people I consider friends, I have been able to help others that needed it. I have learned things I did not know about my area and my neighborhood until now, trash pickup schedules, I have been able to get help from neighbors on the app and then come help me with running out of gas as well as locking keys in our truck. This app has been a life saver! It’s hard to make friends out there especially if you were to just go knocking on neighbors doors.

Pros

I love that neighbors/neighborhoods can connect on here, I know that a ton of areas have shut ins so this gives them the opportunity to make friends and be a part of conversation too. Great for newcomers who don’t know anyone around and who need advice on directions, schools, stores nearby, garbage schedule, if there is any danger nearby, etc

Cons

I can’t say there was much I did not like, but as I said it can easy to meet others, I just wish the algorithm was a little better, and that there were less ads on the app.

### "Nextdoor caters to discrimination "

February 20, 2024

1.0

Terrible experience with the worst humanity has produced.

Pros

The overt discrimination of local moderators destroys any pros the site might have.

Cons

The discrimination and overt racism of local moderators and the indifference of Nextdoor support to address the bias and bigotry of the moderators.

### "Nextdoor brings neighborhood communities together"

July 13, 2021

5.0

I have found it especially useful to share news about the pets we all have -- and especially those who are missing or found by neighbors seeking their owners. It's great to be able to post pics and locations.

Pros

I was education about this software/app by a neighbor/friend. What a wonderful way to get to know your community! I have explored this software several times when in need or wanting to share. It is a great way to get to know your city, your town, your community, your neighborhood. Connecting with those who have like minds and exploring differences, isn't that what life is about? Everyone should join their local Nextdoor community.

Cons

Sometimes some comments can be very negative. But that's not the software, that's the members :). I'm glad that the postings are viewed and edited.

### "The Best place to Connect to your community"

October 4, 2023

5.0

its easy and the best network I can use to communicate to the community.

Pros

its easy to use, informational, the notifications were vague enough to draw me in to see what the post was.

Cons

there wasn't really anything that i didn't like about it

### "Great resource that connects neighbors and commuinty"

July 22, 2021

4.0

I really loved it and found it very helpful way to connect to my neighbors however obviously the reach is limited to only the people who want to use it so it's only effective as who's actually using it.

Pros

What I like most is that it's a tool that can connect a community and neighbors. It allows us to talk and communicate and spread what's most important in the community what resources are available. It is a tool to allow to discuss concerns people may have. I don't believe there's anything that does the same thing out there.

Cons

The only thing I don't like is when people get off topic and start ranting and general comments become politicized. So it's not really a comment on the next door it's more on the users that I miss using it.

### "serves its purpose "

April 15, 2021

5.0

overall, this app is ideal for me to keep in touch with the neighborhood. FB and all the others are global - but I like the close focus of ND. Safety, concerts, concerns, needs, help needed things

Pros

this app is exactly what I need it to be - it links neighbors for safety, local events, items for sale, local issues

Cons

some posts get inadvertently taken over by political garbage, the reviewers seem to be left leaning and remove conservative items most often

Reason for choosing Nextdoor

I view ND nightly, but I don't bother with FB, IG, Twitter etc - too much time wasted on nonsense and we have busy lives

### "Nextdoor is an Awesome App"

May 3, 2021

5.0

I personally don't have any issues with Nextdoor. I really enjoy using the app and am glad to have been invited in.

Pros

There are many things I enjoy about Nextdoor. The 1st is that is similar to social media sites and apps without so much influence. Parameters that are determined by your home address; ranging not farther than 5 or 10 miles. So it keeps online traffic out, it really helps with the crime and safety and you feel the community presents that cares.

Cons

Video upload i think needs to be easier for others to understand how to upload. I feel a lot of the community has video footage, cell phone, security cameras, or RING; they mention they have a video feed of an event but don't upload the content. Maybe the user can't figure out how? Maybe a step-by-step or something similar to get them to follow a procedure on how to upload video.

May 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like the most about Nextdoor is the ability to find your immediate neighborhood. You can interact, socialize and ask for help from your community. You can see all posts on your News Feed. It is safe and secure virtual space to be!

Cons

I like everything what Nextdoor offers for the community.

August 17, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with Nextdoor is great. You connect to your neighbors in ways you never thought possible. Its helps get news around the neighborhood, lost/found pets back home, yard sales or other fun events taking place right in your neighborhood so interactive & easy to find what you need.

Pros

The interactions with neighbors is what I like most about the Nextdoor app. Its a great way to welcome your new neighbors.

Cons

The spam/advertisements that appear in between every interactions/post is what I like least about the Nextdoor appl

### "Great intent but user issues"

October 13, 2020

5.0

Helpful but also upsetting. Its is not the fault of the app but the fault of our current national culture (ive used this app in two different parts of our country so the abuse issue is not local)

Pros

I love that app for its intent...to connect community members. The app has been informative during issues within our neighborhood, allowing streamline communication with updates (electrical outages, police activity, etc.).

Cons

User abuse of the app has allowed negative feeds to take shape and explode...discouraging me from using the app more frequently. There are plenty of social media platforms for trolls and attacks....I wish there was more stringent protocol in regards to what is and isn't allowed.

### "Good Information, but Clumsy"

March 2, 2022

4.0

Overall, a good product. Be careful, some users are over the top and put way too much info/opinion into their posts.

Pros

There are lots of benefits of using Nextdoor, especially if you live in an active neighborhood. You can learn a lot about what is going on around you. Security updates about the neighborhood are helpful.

Cons

It can be clumsy to move around on the app. It is not as user friendly as it could be.
