SEE WHERE FRIENDS ARE AND MEET UP
Mappen helps you plan your social life by showing you where friends are on a private map and what they're doing so you can get together.

WYD? STATUS UPDATES
Set an emoji status to show friends what you're doing and see what everyone else is up to. Statuses let friends know if they should hit you up, text you to meet up for food, or drop by while you're watching Netflix.

FRIENDS NEARBY!
We'll let you know when your best friends are nearby so you can meet up.

SAFE SHARING
Only friends you add can see you on the private map. Add friends you know IRL and you can stop sharing at any moment.

SEARCH & GO!
Search for any place on the private map and tap "GO" to tell your friends where you are heading. Friends can easily join in and "GO" too!

PRIVATE MESSAGING
Coordinate getting together in a private message or in a group message with your Mappen friends. Messages only last 24 hours and it is easy to mute groups that get too chatty.

TRENDING PLACES
When friends are getting together Mappen will show you places that are trending on the private map.

ADD PLACES TO YOUR PRIVATE MAP
Personalize your private map with all your favorite places and check out places your friends like to eat, hangout and play. Add a note to each place so friends know why you love it.

STATS
On your profile Mappen helps you track how much time you spend making personal connections. Mappen's goal is to help you maintain social wellness by spending time with friends in real life!

REACTIONS
Tap "React" on a friend and send one of 6 emoji reactions to your friend to let them know you're thinking about them.

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS SAFE
Friends should look out for each other. Check your private map after getting together to see that friends got home safe.

BATTERY PROTECTION
We put over 50 years of combined engineering experience into minimizing Mappen's battery usage.

GO INVISIBLE ANYTIME
Go “invisible” to hide your location when you need extra privacy. You can choose to hide from one friend or everybody depending on the situation.

VoIP CALLING FOR EASIER PLANNING
Our VoIP calling feature lets you call your friends to finalize plans. This works over Wi-Fi, even if you don’t have a cell connection.

Genre: Lifestyle
Release Date: May 23, 2013

Nextdoor is the free, private social network for your neighborhood. It is the best way for you and your neighbors to hear what’s happening in your local community.

Whether you’re looking to get to know the people on your street, hire a local babysitter, find garage sale deals, or sell your unwanted household items, Nextdoor makes it easy to talk with neighbors about what matters most to you.

People are using Nextdoor in over 180,000 neighborhoods around the world to:

• Track down a trustworthy babysitter
• Quickly get the word out about crime and safety
• Get a recommendation for a great deal on house painters
• Hire a pro to help walk your dog
• Share information during a natural disaster
• Sell an outgrown bicycle
• Finally call that nice man down the street by his first name

What neighbors are saying:

“Before Nextdoor, I didn’t know there were several qualified babysitters living nearby and looking for work. It was easy to feel comfortable hiring my neighbor’s daughter to watch my son after school.” – Patrick, Mission East

“This year for Spring Cleaning, we wanted to sell old appliances, tools, clothing, and electronics on Nextdoor’s For Sale & Free section. In no time, our neighbors stopped by to make a deal and take things off our hands. It was easier than anything else, and it feels good knowing our household items have found a new home in the neighborhood.” – Dan, Hayes Valley

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Nextdoor doesn't run GPS in the background unless you give us permission by turning on optional features that require it.
