Google’s app Neighbourly shut for lack of traction

BENGALURU: Google is shutting down its neighbourhood community app Neighbourly, nearly two years after its launch.

The firm said the app hasn't gained traction as they had hoped, due to which they will be closing it down on May 12, 2020 and users will be able to download their Neighbourly content until October 12 this year.

The shutdown of the service, which was initially rolled out in Mumbai and later extended to cities like Bengaluru, New Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad among others, comes at a time when India is under a 21-day nationwide lockdown.
