Cannot see/Read - teeny-tiny font font
The font in the neighbors app is teeny-tiny and impossible to read. You cannot stretch it, you cannot change font size, and upsizing font size in iOS does not pass any of the changes to the neighbors app. ALL other apps, games, phone, texts, etc are all reflecting a larger font size. ZERO changes in neighbors. This pretty much renders the app to be USELESS. Worse than the neighbors app are the replies. Not only are they even tinier… the font colored is uber light - poor contrast. There is no way to reach ANYONE to get help or suggest a fix. All chat responses are to upsize iOS. This does NOT fix or include changes to this app.

Don’t download if you want to see anything useful
There can be ten+ posts about fireworks etc on themed nights. But a post asking about what’s going on/if it’s safe to go out when there’s a handful of cop cars, a fire truck, ambulance and military police is not even allowed to be posted. Absolute joke.
What happened?
It looks like your team must be rejecting every video waiting to be posted because maybe the last month or so one maybe two videos and we do not live in a crime area.
It seems this app is very sporadic with updating. I don’t see videos no more ring videos from people in the neighborhood. What’s happening?

Extremely Frustrating and Inconsistent
I am extremely disappointed with the way Neighbors handles posts and content moderation. Every single one of my posts since May has been denied, despite the fact that I have made a conscious effort to follow the guidelines.
I have never used specific descriptions, names, addresses, identifying characteristics, or anything that would directly identify an individual. I have simply tried to make my neighbors aware of legitimate issues happening within our neighborhood.
What makes this even more frustrating is seeing other people’s posts discussing dead bodies, drugs, war, politics, and other highly sensitive or controversial subjects—yet somehow my posts about actual neighborhood disturbances are considered unacceptable.
When I try to post about a young man wandering around the neighborhood and harassing people, my post gets denied. When I try to bring attention to someone else’s car alarm repeatedly going off for hours at a time, during both the day and middle of the night, creating an ongoing disturbance for the surrounding residents, that gets denied too.
So what exactly is the purpose of this app if residents can’t communicate about legitimate safety concerns, disturbances, or ongoing neighborhood issues?
The moderation appears inconsistent, selective, and completely disconnected from what residents actually need this platform for. If posts can discuss dead bodies, drugs, war, and politics but residents can’t respectfully warn others about harassment or an excessive noise disturbance without having their posts rejected, then something is seriously wrong with the moderation process.
Do better, Neighbors. Residents should not have to wonder why legitimate concerns are being silenced while far more extreme content is allowed to remain on the platform.
