  • NextDoor Connects You With Your Neighborhood

    Reviewed by Jimbo

    NextDoor opens up the world of your neighborhood in a way that makes it easy to make the most of where you live.

    Designed to be your neighborhood hub, NextDoor lets you easily discover what’s going on in your neighborhood, connect with your neighbors and also be a platform for buying and selling goods locally.

    Features:

    NextDoor by NextDoor.com Inc. brings your neighborhood to you in a way that lets you be as connected as you like.

    Specifically, you can use NextDoor to help you locate nearby events, services, stores and even people. You can put stuff up for sale or find things that other locals are looking to get rid of, often for free.

    How about local yard sales or a dog walker or a babysitter? Think of one part of it as a community newsletter with ads for local products and services.

    If you want to get more involved in your community you can even use NextDoor to help you set up a neighborhood watch.

    It’s frequently the case that when you move into a new neighborhood it takes quite awhile to get to know your neighbors and even longer to figure out what’s going on and who’s doing what. NextDoor is a great way to short-circuit that process, get to know folks, and generally feel more comfortable.

    Appearance and Layout:

    NextDoor iPhone App

    This is a simply designed app and that’s exactly what you want. Clear navigational labels make it easy to find your way around. The in-app color scheme is impressively clean cut as well.

    NextDoor’s designers did a good job of creating an app that is pleasantly colorful, but not overdone.

    Features are logically organized, making it easy to find whatever you may be looking for. Be it items for sale, crime & safety info, or events going on nearby.

    While NextDoor doesn’t have graphics that are anything to write home about, what’s more important is that the app has a cleanly designed layout that makes it easy to navigate while being very aesthetically pleasing.

    Value: [Rating4.5/5]

    Overall we’d have to say that NextDoor should be on your phone whether you’re new to the neighborhood or a long time resident.

    As testament to our high opinion of this app, it was included in our 2019 roundup entitled “39 Great Apps For Your New iPhone“.

    Plus, even if you’re about to move out and you’re just finding out about this app, don’t wait. It’s a great way to get rid of all that stuff you’d really rather not move to your new digs.

    NextDoor requires iOS 11.4 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

  • David’s Disposable is Lots of Fun but Light on Function

    Reviewed by Jimbo

    If you’re into taking pictures with your iPhone, and who isn’t, you’ve probably downloaded one or another of the many apps that offer enhanced capabilities beyond what Apple provides.

    Between filters that change or add to the picture you’re taking, and apps that offer amazing customizations after the fact, there are no shortage of ways to jazz it up.

    But emulating a disposable camera? Is that too retro to be fun?

    David’s Disposable app does retro like few other apps do, so let’s take a look and see.

    Concept and Functionality:

    David’s Disposable, an app by David Dobrik, certainly isn’t a new idea as far as photography goes. After all, cardboard box disposable cameras were pretty popular in the ’80s.

    So what’s the point of turning your iPhone’s photographic wonder into something that used a fixed focus lens and who’s only purpose was to be a cheap thowaway?

    As strange as it may seem, David’s Disposable is an incredibly fun app even though we’re challenged to explain why.

    The interface is one of my favorite aspects of David’s Disposable. When you fire it up it takes the form of the back of a disposable 35mm box camera complete with flash indicator, view finder, film advance wheel and shutter button. All in all very clean and easy to navigate.

    Touching the shutter button takes a photo and provides a nice old-school shutter sound. The flash is on by default and so if you left it on your picture was taken with a flash. No “auto” mode here, the flash is either on or off. Keep in mind, though, that there’s no “selfie” option, like its physical counterpart, you can only use the rear-facing camera.

    After you take your shot it lets you know that your picture will be ready to view at 9am the next morning. By turning on notifications for the app, it will let you know when they’re available. At at exactly 9am you will be notified that your photos are ready.

    At that point you can view the photos, share them, or have them printed and sent to you.

    One thing that surprised me about David’s Disposable is the lack of fancy features. It emulates an disposable box camera, which basically just took pictures with or without a flash. Period.

    If you like what you see in the viewfinder you snap a picture. That’s it. No fancy effects or zooming or video.

    If you touch the icon of photos in the lower left corner you will see 35mm film rolls for the shots that aren’t ready yet, as well as the shots that have been developed and are viewable.

    This is a nice touch and totally in keeping with the retro theme of this app.

    If you like you can also turn off ads for $0.99.

    One thing we’re not happy about is that the minimum order for prints is 25. That’s a lot of photos and too many in our view.

    Value:

    David’s Disposable can be downloaded from the App Store for free and is designed for iPhone.

    When it comes to price, no cost means there’s no price barrier to download the app and check out what it has to offer.

    Overall, David’s Disposable is a great old school photo app that allows you to quickly and easily take simple no-frills photos.

    It offers a faithful disposable box camera simulation that users will enjoy and no doubt have some fun with. How long the novelty will last is something else.

    David’s Disposable requires iOS 13.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
