What it looks like

Screens from the app. Nothing here is a mockup.

New in 4.0 Ask in two quick steps (tap one of this month’s ideas and it’s filled in), edit a request after posting, and every request ends clearly: pick someone else if a helper goes quiet, say “Not done yet”, or say it’s all done yourself. Updates is a to-do list, notifications are calmer, you can say thanks with stickers and a shareable thank-you card, “Our street” lights a window for every favour done nearby, and there’s a fresh, playful look with a night-time dark mode.

Neighbr’s Nearby screen: “Who needs a hand?”, a little street showing 11 favours done nearby, then requests with prices like Jump-start my car ($15) and a grocery run ($20) — Nearby

Offers on a request: three neighbours offered, each with their rating, how often they’ve helped, a short note and a price, and a button to pick them — Offers

Saying thanks: five stars and thank-you stickers like Lifesaver, Super kind, Right on time, Strong arms, Handy and Green thumb — Say thanks

Our street: a little street where a window lights up for each favour done nearby, 11 this month, then the Top helpers — Our street

Updates as a to-do list: one row per request with the next step on it, like Confirm when a helper says it’s done or Pick a new offer — Updates

The map: neighbours who need a hand, shown as faces in rough areas, never addresses — Map

A private chat with the picked neighbour about mounting a TV, a reminder to keep it in the app until you’ve met, and suggested replies like Works for me! — Chat

Neighbr in a cool blue look: seasonal themes, plus a night-time dark mode — Your look

Before you meet: meet somewhere public, tell a friend where you’ll be, trust your gut, never share card or bank details, a Share my plans with a friend button, and “In an emergency, call 911” — Safer meet-ups

Neighbr widgets on the iPhone Home Screen: a request’s progress, “Frank says it’s done” and a Confirm it’s done button — Widgets
