1. [R1] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Do better: It’s ridiculous how whoever in charged pick and choose what post to removed. It’s becoming worst than TikTok
2. [R8] Nextdoor 5/5 · US Review: I was put in read only mode and wasn’t given the reason?
3. [R10] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Nothing but bad experiences: **Review of Nextdoor Moderation Practices** Nextdoor, designed as a community platform for neighbors to connect, buy, and sell, has a significant flaw in its moderation system that leaves users vulnerable to arbitrary account deactivation. The app relies on volunteer moderators, fellow users, who have the power to shut down accounts without clear guidelines or consisten
4. [R16] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Bullying and not helpful: I joined when this app first opened my family and I have a construction company that’s well known in the neighborhood. Every time I would let people know about our services other contractors in the neighborhood felt threatened and started complaining, even though at the time it was allowed to offer services I have found that the app allows a person in the neighborhood to
5. [R6] Nextdoor 3/5 · US Notifications don’t stop even when you disable them: There is no reason I should still be getting notifications about posts with comments I reacted to. I am ready to delete this app because the notifications and emails are relentless no matter how much I adjust my settings.
6. [R7] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Email notifications spam: It should be illegal to have so many email notifications enabled by default. Terrible
7. [R12] Nextdoor 3/5 · US Clutters all of my email addresses: Difficult to use it is like an overgrowth of ivy, it spreads into every one of my email accounts. I cant find replies to my posts about items I am selling or giving away. No useful help. I found a message from some administrator that I had 3 accounts and the message disappeared before I could reply and correct it. No help desk, no user instructions. This app is
8. [R3] Nextdoor 3/5 · US Value: Rarely anything of value on this app
9. [R19] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Awful app: The app is filled with nothing but people complaining about EVERYTHING. Not a great use of time.
10. [R20] Nextdoor 5/5 · US Nextdoor: Enjoy this app. Was a bit more about taking care of the neighbors and neighborhood. Now it's turning into a facebook type of format. Now More of rants and comments about everything .
11. [R25] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Too many ads: My community is very small and yet there are more ads than local posts. Too many for me to continue.
12. [R13] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Clicking on the ap: Why do I have-to enter a code. Number to get into the app ??
13. [R15] Nextdoor 3/5 · GB Too buggy: Your app is so buggy you need to fix a lot of things, buttons don’t work, links take ages to open, etc. good app for for connecting with neighbours but please fix it
14. [R22] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Signing in: Most of the time I have to sign almost every day so I just exit out
15. [R33] Nextdoor 3/5 · GB Full of bugs: UPDATE FINALLY ONE THING HAS BEEN CORRECTED I CAN NOW ACCESS ALL MY ACTIVITY AND HOPE THAT OTHERS CAN TOO I have complained for weeks now about not being able to see my activity and other people have the same problem. This is a main tool for navigating previously accessed posts to which I have responded. I get notified about posts that are days old. I am seeing posts that are mil
16. [R4] Nextdoor 1/5 · US PROBLEMS: - won't let you delete a business page - automatically sells sensitive data which you have to manually turn off if you don't want them to do - doesn't let you pick profile/background photos from an album and makes you scroll all the way through
17. [R18] Nextdoor 3/5 · GB Privacy: I’m not sure how this website works. I am not happy to have my address and name appear. Thank you.
18. [R9] Nextdoor 3/5 · US Too many bots scamming: No photos that day there interested in buying items but don’t respond new profile made also
19. [R31] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Low Community Engagement: It’s heavily censored and bias. Seems like content is 80% ads, 15% news and 5% community participation which mostly consists of rehoming pets, lost pets, and business recommendations half of which are scammers. Lack of community engagement, severe censorship, illogical posts order makes the apps usefulness very poor.
20. [R51] NewsBreak 1/5 · US Terrible source for news.: The headlines are always over the top and misleading. Usually notifications are for stories that are either old or irrelevant.
21. [R52] NewsBreak 5/5 · US It’s like the reader’s digest: Short articles and you can scroll headlines.. Love it..
22. [R53] NewsBreak 3/5 · US Frustrated: Too many advertisements. I keep seeing sources i don’t want to see
23. [R54] NewsBreak 1/5 · US Chock full of AI, Trumpsters & Basic Features No Longer Work: Title says it all. 99.99% of all videos on this app are made with AI and intended to deceive. Since their main audience is senile Trumpster seniors, near everyone on the app is inherently incapable of differentiating between whats genuine/real and whats not. Moreover, these ppl will bet their first born child in order to defend these v
24. [R65] Neighbors by Ring 1/5 · US Doesn’t load anything: Trying to post about a lost pet which is pretty time sensitive and this app does not upload all the photos. It gives me the options to post 5 and after 30 tries of the upload failing it only posts 1 picture/video. I used on WiFi and 5G LTE and neither work. I have perfectly fine service. Very disappointed as important things need to be posted on here as it’s time sensitive m
25. [R66] Neighbors by Ring 5/5 · US Positive community and engagement: Helped find my Adorable Lost cat with the is incredible and useful community app
26. [R67] Neighbors by Ring 3/5 · US This app has made me an angry person: I’m very very annoyed at the content in the posts…. You add the tags so people can use them correctly and they don’t anyways. I’m sick and tired of seeing these stupid spam messages relating to Internet outages and loud banging noises. Maybe some additional settings need to be put in place. There’s no way others don’t agree… it’s beyond annoying. This is not a
27. [R68] Neighbors by Ring 2/5 · US Where’s the old preferences???: This app used to be good as it offered a legend at the top which you could click to see incidents, reports about your neighborhood, etc. you also used to be able to FILTER for the type of posts you wanted to see. Now they’ve taken away all of that, which makes this useless. Now it’s just not dog and cat app and there’s now no way to turn those posts off in your feed
28. [R79] 5miles 1/5 · US My Posts Get No Views. What Happened To This App?: I've used this app during the earlier days. It worked great! I had no issues posting ads, getting views, or selling. Then changes were made: auction, boosts, 5miles cash, fees, and so on throughout the years. Fine, developers need to generate revenue, I get it. However, this app seems to be a scam or is broken. None of my ads receive hits, v
29. [R80] 5miles 5/5 · US Awesome app!!!: Best app to buy and sell hands down!!!
30. [R81] 5miles 3/5 · US Needs to be updated: Used to get a lot’s of customers who would view my items, now I only get 1 view each time . Since 5miles doesn’t fix their many broken issues, they are loosing customers!
31. [R82] 5miles 1/5 · US Good app, low exposure: App is good but like one user noted there’s just not much traction. Creator needs to add more users using incentives. So much potential
32. [R93] Patch 2/5 · US Patch needs work: The patch app is too disorganized and the some of the stories are old ( like months old). The writing leaves a lot to be desired, the stories often lack the proper detail or they include details that really have nothing to do with the main story. This App could be really useful if it was organized and held pertinent information.
33. [R94] Patch 5/5 · US Awesome information: Thanks PATCH keep up the good work
34. [R95] Patch 3/5 · US Local News: I see the potential but unfortunately there isn’t much to read. It’s also kind of messy and all over the place. Very disorganized but again, I do see it’s potential if the right ppl fix this.
35. [R96] Patch 1/5 · US POLITICALLY WOKE TRASH RAG: If only there were any real journalist left who just wanted the truth. People, don’t go to college for journalism learn a trade and you’ll be OK because journalism is dead…
36. [R107] Karrot 1/5 · US Scammers: This app is full of people selling defective electronics without disclosing that information. Do your due diligence before buying anything.
37. [R108] Karrot 5/5 · US I love Karrot: Karrot is great and so easy to post an item and fast to sell thank you Karrot I love it
38. [R109] Karrot 5/5 · US Ray-ban eye glasses: People always say there no Angel walking on earth. Well l met an Angel on West 28 street. She didn’t share her name but we met to exchange money for eye glasses. This Angel didn’t share her name but she shared her kindness and instead of taken the agreed price for her and her partner Ray-ban prescription eyeglasses. She said Merry Christmas. I thought l would have to wait for
39. [R110] Karrot 5/5 · US Es divertido: 🙃
40. [R37] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Rules are Unequally Policed Based Upon Political/Social Beliefs; Censorship: People with political opinions, which Nextdoor agrees with are allowed to say whatever they want without the risk of ban or moderation. Censorship is massive on this site.
41. [R35] Nextdoor 4/5 · US For Sale items: Please make it more obvious on how to post an item for sale. Neighbors are flooding the general feed with For Sale items. Reviewers are slow or won’t vote to remove. Add AI to move a post into the For Sale area when content says ‘for sale’ or ‘I’m selling’
