Nextdoor is an innovative new mobile app that is designed to make it easier than ever for citizens of busy urban locales to connect with their neighbors.
The app is currently largely in use in the city of Providence, Rhode Island, where it is being used by residents to communicate very diverse kinds of information.
The problem with modern urban living is that neighbors often have a difficult time communicating safety information or even personal issues to their friends and neighbors. Ultimately, the app helps neighbors connect with each other in a manner that makes for improved security for everyone as well as an improved sense of camaraderie. The great thing about the app is that it caters to all age groups, ranging from young people and millennials to retired people and older families, who can use the app to help each other out.
