Wanting to finally explore the city a bit and need some good apps to notify me of anything bad/dicey happening. So far I have Citizen and Neighbors (by Ring). Not very impressed by Citizen, especially with the subscription thing. Neighbors has a bit more promise but I’m still unsure.

The closest I've got is something like Band. On Band you're able to create different chats (based on different neighborhood topics like security, supermarket updates, events, etc).

What do you guys think is the best "neighborhood" app? Some of them our there, like "Nextdoor" just kind of suck with the spamming and the ads ..…

I had a similar idea with a helper app that allows neighborhood kids to collect offers for thinks like taking out garbage bins for homes that can't move them and things like watering plants and had some traction with people who had time but just need to target at the right users and suppliers.

Next door isn’t my favorite app but it does this.

They recently made it so you need a free account, but if you’re looking at no-fee buildings cityrealty has always had the best index IMO: https://www.cityrealty.com/mobile/buildings-by-neighborhood-list?search=nofeerentals

I recently moved out of that gated society into a builder floor and already miss the nobrokerhood app community experience.

I cannot bear the level of hypocrisy in the Nextdoor app, their rules are only to control one side, The moderators allow one side of opinion to be presented, and if you oppose their opinion, your comment will be deleted.

I’m curious, I found this app and have been using it for a while. It lets you connect with your neighbors and post whatever. It’s like Instagram but…

I jump on and scroll for a few minutes in the evening after dinner or whatever. What I can say is the folks that do respond, whether it’s for actual work or just an estimate, so far have been pretty great to deal with. I think the idea of being in the same neighborhood adds a more personal touch to ...

The only app I can think of if neighbors app by Ring but you don't need a ring device to join. ... I'll pray for you! ... I see none of that on my Nextdoor. Sounds like you're living in the wrong neighborhood. ... I get not much religious stuff, but like waaaaayyyyyy more racist shit ...
r/boston
I'm looking for sites and apps where people post about neighborhood goings on. Any ideas? Archived post. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Share ... The good ones tend to be independently moderated listservs or Google groups. Not sure of Allston but that's what I'...

I love bunz and I find using it as strictly a trading app gets rid of some of the drama with the currency changes. It can require patience but my successful trades have made it worth the effort! ... Look up buy nothing on Facebook and see if you have a local group. I've had nothing but positive...
r/AskChicago
Hi - has anyone else had negative ... citizen app, it feels inaccurate, delayed, and intentionally anxiety provoking? Or has anyone have a positive experience?
