The most I like about the nextdoor software is that you know what's going on around you.

What I liked least about the nextdoor software is I wish there was a section for like stuff for sale.

Perfect software to connect with people in your neighborhood. You can ask for a recommendation for a plumber, ask if anyone else heard the loud noise or why traffic is backed up on a certain road. You can advise your neighborhood that someone is going around stealing packages or just thank your neighbors for helping out. It’s a great software that’s neighborhood specific so that people aren’t on it from the next city over and that helps greatly in passing information or getting local advice.

No specific cons for this software. You have to have a moderator, which you need on any public forum.

It is nice to know what is going on around the neighborhood, both good and bad. It's helpful to know sometimes if neighbors are going through some of the same things that we are. It's also helpful for people to share info that they have about various things, whether it be someone saw a loose dog...has an outage...sees suspicious activity, etc.

The app sometimes gets clogged up with much of the same information or stuff that seems to be spam.

In this world of back porches and social media, it's not as easy to connect with our neighbors. Nextdoor helps us do this. It's a fun way to catch up on what's going on in the neighborhood, swap items, help find lost pets, and encourage others.

When using Nextdoor on mobile, it's a little too easy to heart (like) a post accidentally. I have found myself doing this a few too many times for posts or comments I wasn't too keen on but was simply reading. I think, too, the developers might consider adding more categories to the site to make posting a bit more streamlined—maybe Events, Lost Pets, etc. Also, some folks such as myself are concerned with safety, so maybe Nextdoor could do a few more things to educate users on how to stay safe on such a platform that is full of strangers.
