Nextdoor: Neighborhood Network 12+

Nextdoor Family

I want to thank this incredible platform; it not only keeps our community together on different topics, but also gives us the opportunity to make ourselves visible by offering our services. This app gave me the opportunity to work for myself again, being visible in different neighborhoods in Miami. Building a client portfolio takes time and dedication and Nextdoor gave me the opportunity to be seen by thousands of families at the same time. I started using it when that pandemic 😷 that paralyzed the entire world. I quit my job as Chief Engineer for 4 buildings in North Miami, so I went all in and won 💪. In 2008 when Real Estate fell, I was working independently as a Handyman and I was doing well, but that economic disaster in 2008 made me have to be a Chief Engineer for hotels and then those four buildings. I had already given up on going back to work for myself, but I found Nextdoor and I decided to leave everything and go back to work for myself and Nextdoor gave me my life back. Today, 4 years later, I can say that I feel very proud of all the effort I put into each job and for being recognized by my clients, highlighted in the more than 530 reviews from neighbors on my profile. Something incredible and very difficult to achieve 530 reviews; More than any other contractor in all of Miami? in 4 years working with Nextdoor, and this is why I love ❤️ this platform. Thank you, thank you 🙏 and a thousand more thanks, for giving me back my work freedom.

Helping each other out like neighbors use to do

So far I like this app I like how people are advertising for their businesses and I’ve seen a few people post about other people’s products and if you were looking for something specific you could look at it in a different store. It’s got that neighborhood watch feel cause I’ve already seen one person post about a package that didn’t look like it belonged at the house in the picture that was taken by the delivery company putting a claim to a house but giving it the proper attention I’ve always been taught that if it doesn’t match then it’s not the right one. It’s nice to have an app you can go to when there are so many and you can look for someone to clean your house and some who just is there to help make sure that you’re day is going well for the day and that if not they might have a site for you to go look at for a smile to help you for that brief moment or you can just count on that one person in your neighborhood to watch out for your packages and just the people in your neighborhood and you never knew that they were there doing that kind of stuff but since you have joined this app that’s all it took. It’s a wonderful thing that you can do one small thing and you can get big rewards that were there the only thing you need to do was just press a button on your phone

Pretty darn ok

Love the organization on the app, love that you can have a personal and business page at the same time. The reporting system is great and you can see the changes the developers are making for the better. People are putting up job postings and offering their home goods and services. It’s a great platform.
Overall I would definitely use the app regularly aside from a couple things. For one it feels like a less official Facebook, people rant and post tons of stuff that has almost nothing to do with the actual neighborhood communities. There are also SO MANY lost pets posts, I think it would be a great idea to have a section specifically for lost pets and a way to mark them as found. I think it would also be great to have a more clear run down of what the platform will support or not, this could be complete user error but I saw lots of people complain about being “censored” and having posts taken down for the content.
I think overall people are just using it as a second Facebook and not as a neighborhood community app and it’s messing with the way the app flows. People will be people and talk about what they like of course, but I’d rather the outlines and regulations be made clear to avoid more rage rants about how the platform is silencing people, funnily for things the platform will not support or allow.
