About this app

Neighbourly is the free and private neighbourhood app for New Zealand that creates an easy way for neighbours to talk and share online.

Members use Neighbourly to create free and private websites for their suburbs to exchange advice, find and make recommendations for local services, share events, sell or give away unwanted items, discuss local crime, locate lost pets and ultimately get to know one another. Join Neighbourly and help build a stronger, safer and friendlier place to call home.

"Every tech product under the sun seems aimed at teenagers these days – it’s nice to see something for everyone else" - Henry Cooke, Sunday News

Ratings and reviews

This app's performance for me has been abyssmal since the update in early March. The font has shrunk, it closes when I am checking notifications and moving between some screens, and now after spasmodic logging out, it has logged me out altogether. Help has been slow forthcoming unfortunately so just as well, as a Neighbourly Lead, I have a computer I can use but not convenient. Update: as of June 9th the problems still continue and other members have also noticed various problems.

Selling is now broken. Can't get past the screen for taking a photo, or choosing an existing photo. It processes the photo, and then stays on the camera. Tried restarting the app, or rebooting my phone, but no difference. PS the aspect ratio of the camera is also wrong and stretches the images in the camera.

I can't upload photos anymore. I used this app all the time for giving away free items and selling and now no longer can do that despite trying everything including the desktop version and contacting neighborly. I don't get notifications anymore despite all my settings set to receive them and there doesn't seem to be an obvious and easy way to delete messages from your inbox.
