1. [R1] 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
2. [R4] 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
3. [R62] Nextdoor 5/5 · US Great Information: This has been so helpful to me!
4. [R71] Nextdoor 5/5 · US ND Rocks🎉🎉🎉🎉: I find that Next Door is truly one of the absolute best ways to communicate your needs observations with your community. Whether it is a fundraiser you hold to support certain cause, whether it's a dog that you saw and want to find someone, whether you lost your dog and needs your friends or Next Door to help you find your dog, whether it's a person in need in general, it is a really
5. [R7] Neighbors by Ring 2/5 · US Still not getting notifications: I’ve delete and download the app to see if that helped but I still get no notifications from this app, it’s been a while and nothing has been done to fix it
6. [R60] Neighbors by Ring 1/5 · US Inability to post: I use this app all the time to stay updated on things going on around town. The one time I find a dog and want to post it on there, I keep getting post failed and nothing will let me post it. At least make this app useful, isn’t posting like the point of this app?
7. [R66] 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.
8. [R72] 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
9. [R27] Neighbors by Ring 4/5 · US Not working: The app is not working today
10. [R70] 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
11. [R111] Nextdoor 3/5 · GB Buggy (if useful) app: A useful app that no other option does as well, worth the features. But it is incredibly buggy, often taking ages to load content , randomly glitching and shutting down in the middle of typing a post. Very annoying.
12. [R2] Neighbors by Ring 5/5 · US Positive community and engagement: Helped find my Adorable Lost cat with the is incredible and useful community app
13. [R11] Neighbors by Ring 5/5 · US Lost dog: Haven’t found my baby yet but so far they been good to me the neighbors by ring
14. [R64] 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
15. [R85] 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.
16. [R6] Neighbors by Ring 3/5 · US 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. The moderation makes no sense. Some people post the same things as other people‘s posts so I can honestly say there’s no consistency at all. The cameras and video for ring and blink a
17. [R24] Neighbors by Ring 1/5 · US Lots of potential: But the lack of moderation makes it completely unusable. You have the same people spamming fake or derogatory comments day after day. I understand the community can moderate but it’s unfortunately not enough. Ring team should require stricter categorization when a comment is made and look into at least using AI agents or something similar to ensure it stays on track. Otherwise t
18. [R61] 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
19. [R65] Nextdoor 5/5 · US Good people here: Support is from the community
