Out of the currently 123 reviews of Nextdoor.com on Site Jabber, 99 give it one star out of five. Here are some of the most notable, good and bad:
Every person "who looks out of place" walking on the sidewalk gets called out on the app. God help you if you're black and knocking on doors in our neighborhood.----
I signed up for this service because it was recommended by the city that we live in for traffic alerts, street closings, etc. I signed up for the service, began to browse for vital information in my city, and only then found out that this website publishes your entire personal information for everyone in the community to see without divulging this to users before the sign up. Considering we pay for a non-published phone number and address, I was pretty upset to find all of my private information listed. I deactivated my account, and only then did I look for complaints about the company. Boy was I surprised to see the complaints on here.---
The best thing is I feel cool after expressing my opinion there, about environment and things. That's why I don't read free local paper any more.---
The app sends "push notifications" for urgent alerts tagged as "Crime & Safety". This means that every bored, stupid Desperate Housewife who gins up a fantasy of danger now has the ability to push her stupid blather straight to your cell phone.---
I highly recommend this medium, it is a great resource to share emergency news (ie.: missing pets, bears in the neighborhood, theft alerts, odd jobs, yard sales, free stuff, block parties, etc.). A neighborhood is safer when its residents care and keep an active neighborhood watch.---
home to politically correct extremists...---
Continue to be re-registered by either the company or site lead. Have unsubscribed and quit the stupid site three different times only find NEW bat-$#*! crazy posts from "neighbors" I don't know. Ironically, it keeps signing me up for neighborhood I don't even live in. There must be some sort of con / grift going on whereby the company is trying to pump up its user numbers.

If you like trying to communicate with brain dead idiots this is the website for you.---
This organization sounds like it is run like a Junior High popularity club.---
Nothing has caused more hard feelings between neighbors in my community than Nextdoor.---
This works beautifully. Obviously it depends on the type of neighbors you have, but I have found NextDoor to be a life saver many times.---
I've found this site to be used only to judge and provide nasty comments about neighbors, and not helpful at all.---
I also love it because the Police Department can post urgent messages to those neighborhoods under their jurisdiction.---
Complete scam. How do I know ? Postal mail has return addresses of non-existent people in our own neighborhood saying we are "invited" to join. Getting them weekly now with fake return addresses claiming to be from neighbors. So folks, nothing free is any good. They are up to something. Pretty sure it will end badly for the investors....---
I feel that in this day and age if you need an app to communicate with your neighbors, instead of going and rining their doorbell, then maybe you should just stay inside.---
What it is is simply a means to locally share information and get to know your neighbors. As with all things that involve people, things can go wrong quickly if people aren't respecting each other and treating each other with kindness and understanding.---
if you are a upscale tight ass this site is for you.
