1. [R12] 5miles 3/5 · US Meh...it's ok for what it is: Starting with the good...when scrolling thru posts, you get to see the price before having to click on the listing. This saves time & energy. The bad, ADS! Trying to search for something and game ads hijack the experience. I don't have time for that. I get it though...free to use isn't free....the developers need to make money. But I probably would prefer a banner to
2. [R34] 5miles 1/5 · US As sellers, we’d love to see stronger promotion and visibility for the 5miles app.: Many listings show little to no views, which makes the marketplace feel quiet, even though there are active buyers and quality products available. Some ideas that could help: • More marketing to bring in new buyers • Increased in-app promotion for active sellers • Better discovery for new or updated listings • Clear
3. [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
4. [R91] 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.
5. [R6] 5miles 3/5 · US Glitch: Idk why but everytime I try to post something on here it won’t let me choose the condition for some reason and I can’t post my product. If you can please fix it asap it would be so helpful
6. [R46] 5miles 1/5 · US Needs a lot of improvement: I’ve been an active user for years but the last year or two not as much due to the errors. I can’t even publish a listing anymore. I do the work to fill everything out like normal and then it just freezes when you push publish. Nothing happens. Even tried it online instead of the app and it’s the same issue.
7. [R78] 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
8. [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.
9. [R10] 5miles 1/5 · US Waste of time.: As a seller, it’s pretty much a waste of time. The app is chock full of scam accounts. There are even fake 5miles customer service accounts that have been active all month. They won’t even shut those down. At least they took the counterfeit goods auctions off the home page. I’m sure that chased away a lot of legit buyers. Used to be a great app. Those days are long gone.
10. [R20] 5miles 1/5 · US Complete scam: Ordered an item almost 3 months ago, still haven’t got anything in the mail and customer service won’t ever respond to you. If you like getting ripped off, wasting your time waiting for nothing and being ignored this is the app for you
11. [R103] Nextdoor 1/5 · US Blocked: I was blocked by Nextdoor Neighborhood app because of my opinion on politics. I didn’t direct my opinion to anyone in particular. I learned the hard way that is best to keep your opinions to yourself. How can I appeal? I can’t get on the app at all.
12. [R15] 5miles 3/5 · US Sales: I wish i could make more sales on here and also list my items without using coins to boost my items. But other than that 5miles is great .
13. [R63] Nextdoor 3/5 · US Value: Rarely anything of value on this app
14. [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.
15. [R19] 5miles 5/5 · US Customer service is top notch for business.: As many of my colleagues know it’s a tough world out there and all it takes is one unhappy or fraudulent customer to try and ruin. Your reputation and business on this platform. I must commend 5 Mile for I have maintained above a 93% rating since 2016 and generate revenue off of here because the platform rewards performance and also protects you by re
16. [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
17. [R105] Nextdoor 3/5 · GB Suspended for no applicable reason....: I gave this application a shot and after several months of having it I was issued with a suspension which was uncalled for, I committed nothing that went against the guidelines. I then emailed Nextdoor and all they said was that they got "you're account was suspicious as you didn't posted anything on your profile so therefore we cannot retrieve your account
18. [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
19. [R92] Nextdoor 5/5 · US Nextdoor: I like this site because it keeps my neighborhood update and if there’s anything going on, I look for it here lost pets lost kids lost whatever
