User Reviews

The Good Neighbour app offers a solid tool rental concept, enabling users to rent and lend tools conveniently, saving money and earning some income. While many appreciate its utility and developers' efforts to improve it, multiple reviews highlight issues with the user interface, difficult tool searches, notification annoyances, and occasional app performance problems. Some users faced sign-up verification troubles and confusion about regional availability. Overall, the app has potential but requires polish and marketing to expand its user base and usability.

Pros

Great concept for renting out tools and equipment, allowing users to save money and make extra cash.
Generally functional app experience with useful tool rental features and messaging history.
Helpful for people needing tools for short periods, like home projects or specialized tasks.
Developers are actively working on app improvements and updates.

Cons

App user interface and usability need improvement, especially in tool listing and searching.
Limited or inaccurate autocomplete and account sign-up issues affecting user verification.
Notifications can be annoying and lack customization options.
App appears geographically limited (Canada centric) leading to confusion for international users.
Some users experience app slowness, errors, or occasional hanging requiring restarts.

Recent 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.

4 years ago I was renting all sorts of tools on this app... in the past 2 years though, next to nothing... there are no inquiries. The app does not seem to work as well as it used to either .. Some marketing needs to be done I think.
