Description
Been playing Neighbors by Ring for a couple months now. It’s basically an app where you can get real-time alerts about crime and safety stuff happening in your neighborhood. Lots of people are already using it, so it’s cool to see what’s going on around where you live.
The main thing you do is check out posts from your neighbors about suspicious activity, emergencies, that kind of thing. And there’s also a map view that shows where incidents are happening. It’s got some handy features like the ability to share your own alerts and see what the local police are reporting.
Look, if you’re into neighborhood safety apps, you’ll probably like this one. It’s not perfect – the alerts can get a little repetitive after a while – but overall it does a pretty solid job of keeping you informed about what’s going on around your area. Worth checking out for sure.
Editor Opinion
I've tested a bunch of neighborhood watch and safety apps, and Neighbors by Ring is one of the better ones in my experience. It's got a good mix of useful features like real-time alerts and community engagement without being too complicated. The interface is clean and easy to use, and I like how you can see what the local law enforcement is reporting as well. On the downside, the constant stream of alerts can get a little overwhelming at times, and the app doesn't really offer much beyond the basics. But if you're looking for a simple way to stay informed about your neighborhood, Neighbors is a pretty reliable option.

There's been an ongoing glitch. I cannot see what I'm typing when leaving comments. The keyboard covers everything I'm typing.
Amazing app for community awareness, safety, security, unity. I just wish they would ease back the privacy invasions. I can't even get in on my old phone because they updated...
