The Good Neighbour

About this app

"The Good Neighbour" is a new and amazing app to help everyone save money on their household renos and projects! Absolutely free to download. It's based simply on neighbour to neighbour tool rentals. Log in and add all your tools to your "toolbox" that way your tools will come up when neighbours search. Need a tool? just search for it, watch all the results pop up near you. Use the tool for a fraction of the cost new.
A rating system is in place so you rest with ease knowing that your tools will be treated with care. The good neighbour keeps track of who has your tools and will make sure your tool comes back the way it left. All transactions are conducted through the app. Imagine a community where you can just walk down the street for a tool. instead of running to the hardware store and spending a fortune.

Ratings and reviews

Its a good app for a free one. Listing tools takes some getting used to either using one from their list or adding in the details yourself. The built in messaging can be a bit slow but its still functional and keeps history. If you try do too much at once it can hang and needs a restart but all in all its a decent app and great for renting out your gear or finding someone you need for a day.

Lots of potential, but still lots to improve. Searching for tools is difficult as the order of the words seem to be important ("impact wrench" and "wrench, Impact" yield different results). Also tool names are super specific instead of being generic and easy to search. A better categorization and filter system would be enormously helpful. Loading screen that flashes up and down briefly is annoying and unnecessary. User profile page w/ menu should be the first tab. UI could be improved lots.

Needed an extension ladder to put up my Christmas lights. Picked one up from a short distance away for a totally reasonable price. Awesome to have this cause it's hard to justify buying some tools you aren't going to use very often. I think the app worked well and I had a good experience.
