- [R2] Neighbors by Ring Positive community and engagement: Helped find my Adorable Lost cat with the is incredible and useful community app
- [R3] Neighbors by Ring 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
- [R4] Neighbors by Ring 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
- [R13] Neighbors by Ring App required to manage settings: I tend to use a web browser to access neighbors, due to all the data collected by this app. Now, Ring is forcing the use of this app by making it the only way to manage your neighborhood settings, as they crippled the website so that you're not allowed to manage settings without the app. The posts are pretty much 95% lost pets, "is your internet out too", and "i
- [R1] Neighbors by Ring 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

- [R6] Neighbors by Ring Moderators posting policy are really bad.: If you think you’re gonna be able to impost important information to the neighborhood, take a coin and flip it 50% of the time you will be moderated and not be able to post.

- [R15] Neighbors by Ring Posting is…: The app itself is good. I like that we can be aware of things going on. The only bad thing is when there’s relevant things you want to post, most of the time it gets denied. But you see irrelevant like your cat or something it gets accepted.

- [R79] TikTok Shop Seller Center Terrible customer service: As someone who sells full-time on TikTok shop, I can say with confidence that TikTok has the worst customer service that I’ve ever seen. This company relies so much on AI now that you can’t even communicate with a real person if you have an issue and trust me there’s a lot of issues. The amount of false violations and penalties I have received is beyond ridiculous and th
- [R97] TikTok Shop Seller Center Trash: Don’t help me at all take forever to respond to everything, I’ve been waiting 5 months to get my items on TikTok shop
