Thank you for the kind words! It's great to hear that Cobu helps you stay connected and informed about what's happening around you. Building stronger neighbor connections is at the heart of what we do, and we're grateful to play a small role in bringing communities together.

Great app for living!

I use Cobu at The Urby and it’s a great app that all 600 residents can use and keep in touch, list items on the marketplace, or participate in different groups like biking, sports, etc!

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that Cobu is helping residents connect with one another through groups, stay engaged with the community, and make use of the Marketplace to buy, sell, and share items locally. We love seeing neighbors come together around shared interests and build stronger connections along the way.

Deleting old messages is a problem

Can’t figure out how to delete old adds & posts and the site is cluttered with them.
