Other Comments
Nextdoor is a neighborhood based social network. You can find out from the nextdoor.com web site if your neighborhood is participating. As far as I know this is a U.S. based network. The web site seems reasonably accessible, but I do tend to resort to ZoomText when the screen reader doesn't cooperate, so I may be forgetting what problems I did run into. The process for creating a new neighborhood is reported to be inaccessible.

Reading Message Replies is broken in latest version of NextDoor
With the most recent update to NextDoor, reading message replies is no longer possible. I am running IOS 8.4 on an iPhone 6+. I have contacted the developer. The rep who emailed me back acknowledges it's a bug. The problem is being referred to the appropriate department. Stay tuned.
