Schemer is a little known app published by Google with just over 100,000 downloads. It is a bucket list kind of app with a nice UI and good support. But this app does lack a large user base. In my city of about 80,000 people there is only 1 other person who is posting things that they want to do, but I will get back to that in a second.
Schemer allows you to post a "Scheme" and then publish it for other people to look at and decide if they want to do it or not. It allows you to add other peoples Schemes onto your own list and accomplish them whenever you want.
The app gives you a couple of choices on how to search for Schemes. You can do a nearby search, which is great for large cities, or filter out by categories. If you choose a category you only see what activities have to do with that category.
Say you love being outside. Then you should select the category "outdoors" or maybe "natural wonders". If you select outdoors then you can further filter that down by keywords, locations, and even things that you can do at home. I went ahead and did "Anywhere" with no other filters on. I have a few things here that I would like to do, such as "Bicycle the Stevens Creek Bikeway" so I will click the green + sign next to it. But I also want to do something that isn't on the list. So I am going to add my own Scheme to this category. "Hide a new geocache" seems about right. Now if someone else wants to do that they can just click the plus sign next to mine and I will have "inspired" them to do that!
With just a little bit of time spent playing around with this app I already have several things that I want to do, I have also posted several that I think others will also like (although I haven't inspired anyone yet) This seems like a great app and I wish that it could get the popularity that it deserves.
