SAN DIEGO, California – Climbing Mount Everest, seeing pandas, diving the Great Barrier Reef – all of this is done by people in the Bucket app.
“The coolest part of it was the reaction,” said Trent Wann, Bucket CEO.
He said the social media platform has grown steadily every month since it was founded in January.
When and some other San Diego State University alumni and students thought, “Why not make your bucket list social?”
“When you create your bucket list, it is shared with the community so everyone in the app can see it and what you add and what you finish,” said Wann.
There is also a feature that you can use to ask for help ticking off your list or offer help to others.
“Someone can say, ‘Hey, I want to learn to climb’ and if you know how, you can offer your help,” explained Wann.
Wann said the launch of Bucket during the pandemic actually worked in their favor because so many people planned what to do when they finally could.
“It’s about connecting with the things you haven’t done yet, and during the pandemic we had that and had a lot of people planned,” he said.
So far, over 70,000 bucket list items have been created and counted.
Wann says that the app definitely lives up to its slogan:
“Because social media should connect us through what we want to do, not just what we’ve done.”
“To hear that they are actively using it and it brings them value,” he said. “And that they use it to enjoy life to the fullest is really rewarding.”
