Very annoying, this app should be invisible when not in use Very annoying, this app should be invisible when not in use. It kept telling me that internet connection not available *every few seconds*, making it difficult to use phone's virtual keyboard with this *in your face* dialog message overshadowing the keyboard. Instant uninstall...

Great _ get on board Great idea.. Facebook like app but for your suburb and surrounds. Local community building system i think is much needed in Australia. Has a lot of promise. Real names and no trash talking trolls.

Session expired What's with the constant sign outs?

Privacy invasion Too many validations. Good idea but too invasive didn't feel welcome having to continually verify myself...uninstalled now

Privacy Too creepy. will use website instead.
Elke K
Why? Why does this app need to know my phone Id and phone details of person I'm calling? Uninstalling my app, nabo sounds good on paper but I've had 0% success giving away free eggs or kefir, and no response on unwanted crafty things

Hi Elke, the reason we ask to access that is so if you want to invite your friends to join Nabo you can do so through your contacts. Your details are secure when using our app and are never given out to advertisers or third parties. Thanks. Uninstalled No justification provided for new permission so assuming privacy violation and uninstalling.
Even more sticky beaking now? Before you try to get my passport number and all banking details,too, I'll make a run for it. Uninstalling now.

Hi Ian, the reason we ask to access that is so if you want to invite your friends to join Nabo you can do so through your contacts. Your details are secure when using our app and are never given out to advertisers or third parties. Thanks. A few bugs Want to add a my face photo profile (Im a hansome devil) but it will not let me...apart from that its seems ok...similar to facebook but LOCAL !
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hey Peter try again now with our latest update. The pic will upload and your handsome face will be on display for all your neighbours to see! Cant add profile pic....workaround!! It seems ok except cant add a profile pic....couldnt find one that toned down my awesomeness enough when i signed up ;-)....edit just found you can via the website....prob with the Android app.
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hey Rod. It's hard to tone down the awesomeness sometimes, glad to hear you managed to find a pic that did (which we're sure was a challenge!). We have recently updated the app and you'll find that you can upload pics and let that awesomeness shine through! Thanks :) Nabo App Won't let me access my suburb feed. Throws up error message then goes blank.
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hey Jane sorry that you were having this issue. Please know that we have since updated the app and you should now be able to access your suburb feed. Thanks! :) Couldn't even sign up Before putting an add in Men's Health, perhaps make sure all the bugs are ironed out or your full page ad is a waste.
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hi Eliza, please be assured that we our development team is working continuously to address bugs and issues. Thanks. Absolute piece of crap! Had it for half an hour and it crashed twice. Won't update anything. I have literally NEVER had an app that has made me want to smash my phone this hard!
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hi Renee hope your phone is still in tact! Please know that we have since updated the app and it is now loading and uploading :) Utterly useless Nothing works. Also requires too many accesses. I'd like an explanation of why each access is needed.
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hi Steven we have since reduced the accesses that we require. You'll notice this with our latest update. Thanks! Horrible Local feed won't load and the app freezes. Totally useless
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hi Kristine the app has now been updated and we have addressed the issues we were previously having. You will find the local feed will now load. Thanks! Asks for too many personal details while signing up. Only one reason you want to know my email and that is for spam.
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hi Darryl the reason we ask for your details is so that when you connect with your neighbours on Nabo you know exactly who you’re talking to. You never have to worry about your privacy; personal information is not shared with advertisers or third parties, and you can tailor your profile settings to manage the level of visibility of your details. Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hi Ankur the app has now been updated and we have addressed the issues we were previously having. Thanks! Nah...seen it before on Facebook The last post in our area was like a month ago...no one is using it
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hi Daz more and more people are using Nabo now. Perhaps check in and see if anyone has posted lately. You can always try and get the convo started and see who replies. Thanks! Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hey Oliver we've updated the app and you'll find now that everything is loading. Thanks! Won't let me sign up My full address is in, and it's still not letting me press Next. Have tried over and over. Also - I don't like putting my house number in. Your app shouldn't need that. That has stopped me using your app. You're logo in the app store has a typo in it; it says "you" instead of "your". This doesn't make me trust you with my home address. Does this app give my name and address to thieves? Maybe. Maybe they'll use it to Google where I work, and find out when I'm not home.
Useless.. Fix it please?! It doesn't let you upload a profile pic or comment on posts or msg anyone.. they're the only things I've tried to do on it so I'm sure other things wouldn't be working either!
I like this I don't understand why people think they're going to get robbed using this. Makes no sense. People can get your address by using the phone book or following you home.
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Thanks Emma! You're right we never compromise your privacy and your details are never given to any third parties. Glad you're enjoying Nabo! Needs some upgrades/fixes Great idea. I also don't lik and putting my full house details in - invitation to thieves! I also can't change details in my profile if I make a typo. I can't eve and upload a photo. Agree with lots of other users. If many of these bugs can be fixed the app would be usable.
Useless Can't create an account with this app, it needs to sync with Facebook or something instead, doesn't seem to want to process my address at all so can't get past Page 2 of the sign up process. Shame the Facebook like Page made it look promising.
Doesnt know my phone number and cant recognise my location See above
Nabo This is like facebook on a small scale, its started on the 1st of December 2014 this also reminds me of the sims, what the sim now can do with the mobile phone is like nabo now
Don't bother Couldn't verify my address with geolocation, described my age bracket as "invalid".
Thank you for developing the app, its been awesome connecting with my extended neighbours on Nabo and seeing local, announcements from the City of Wannaroo and other organisations..... Great work :)
Great app, look forward to using it to connect with the people in my local area.
Dont like it. I like the anonimity of privacy. Its nobodies business where i live or how old i am unless i want to tell them. Too invasive. Forget it. I dont appreciate you taking my details and putting them on display for god knows who to find. There also needs to be a delete button so i can delete my personal details. Fail!
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 26 September 2016
Hi Sun Shine on Nabo you never have to worry about your privacy; personal information is not shared with advertisers or third parties, and you can tailor your profile settings to manage the level of visibility of your details. So you can show only as much as you want to show. Thanks. Worst app I have ever installed. Freezes continually, has absolutely no real value. It requires a complete recoding. Way to much personal info needed for this type of application and questionable needs for all this personal info and no security policy. Don't bother installing it. Complete rubbish
Nabo Community Pty Ltd 7 July 2016
Hi Dareth, please know that we have updated our app and our team is always working on improving and fixing any issues. We have a security policy which you can check out here:https://help.nabo.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/204995345-Safety-Security Thanks. Locating Why so set on knowing not only my personal info but verifying my home location exactly via my phone because me telling you isn't enough. Get stuffed. Either you have info on my SUBURB or not.
