Micros#@$ is a terrible company, I only use this because my employer loves them. Why I do not know. This app specifically constantly has date issues. If I add or change a task, it will set a different date, typically a day forward or backward. How could this company not fix this when 8ts a blatant issue?

I am a physician and a scientist who requires a good to-do app to keep everything straight on a daily basis. Wunderlist was really the perfect tool for this, allowing me to organize and share tasks with lab members and clinical colleagues. When I learned it would eventually replace wunderlist, I decided to give To-Do a solid try. I imported all my lists from wunderlist, familiarized myself with all of To-Do’s features, and used it in place of Wunderlist for a good week. Unfortunately, a year after it’s unveiling, To-Do still needs a lot of work. The lack of a way to group related lists and the inability to automatically place tasks that are due today into the “my day” folder are critical deficiencies. Sure you can click the lightbulb in the “my day” folder and select all the upcoming tasks with the help of “suggestions,” but many (like me) cant remember to do that on a daily basis. The point of a to-do app is to make remembering all of your daily tasks unnecessary. I had so many issues with missing things (I literally have a hundred tasks some days) that I had to switch back to Wunderlist within a week. I know that the Microsoft team is working hard on To-Do behind the scenes. I plan to keep checking in and switch to to-do once it truly integrates all the features of wunderlist.

The app is has a huge potential to become a best to do app but it have small issue : When I set a task "daily" and I check it , this task is showing again with Tomorrow date and this is so annoying it'll be better if task for tomorrow will show Tomorrow Please, Microsoft fix it

This app and its web counterpart need a lot more work. It would be great if they combined it with Outlook Tasks and Planner into a single task management system, akin to Todoist. The app needs natural language support, a desktop Mac client, tie-ins with Teams to create tasks and projects directly from Teams, and tasks dated for today need to be automatically added to My Day so everything due in a given day is all in one place, rather than looking from list to list. It would also be great if it had a general Inbox to add tasks to as they come to mind and then organize later, like GTD prescribes. List sharing would be another big boost, especially for businesses if it’s linked to Teams, so that projects could be organized through ToDo and tasks managed. Apps like TickTick or Todoist show how powerful task management systems can also be easy to use and good for both individuals and businesses. Hopefully this app will follow in their footsteps and replace the myriad Microsoft task and project management options that currently exist (Outlook Tasks, Planner, To-Do), like Microsoft is doing consolidating Lync, Skype, and Teams.

UPDATE : Wks ago you said dark theme was coming. Where is it? It's on desktop app but not android. Where is dark theme option? Too many other apps offer it for this to not have it. Good start tho

With the addition of steps/subtasks, we’re definitely getting closer to this app replicating the full functionality Wunderlist (need folders and shared notes support to make it complete). But there’s a weird glitch in the app and the steps keep disappearing/reappearing. Sometimes they show, sometimes they don’t. The first time I reopened the app after creating some steps on one of my to-dos I thought they didn’t take, so I added them again, then they vanished again on another reload, so I added them again. Turns out, when I opened the To-Do web client, the original steps I added and ALL the duplicate entries saved to the cloud like they were supposed to but don’t always populate on screen on the phone. What a productivity nightmare. Add a new step? They all appear again. Rearrange the to-dos? Disappear. If this bug can be squashed I’ll give the app a fourth star. I’ll be screenshotting any to-dos with steps in the meantime so I can be sure I can reference them when I’m on the go.

Developed by the people at Wunderlist. Is a good start, but needs some improvements. Would like to see tasks set to important in sub lists end up on the My Day page.

I like the improvement I have seen in the past few months. I think Todo is heading the right direction. There are a few features such as assign to someone and attach photos to a note that are still missing. And it doesn’t do a good job integrating with other Microsoft services such as Outlook and Flow. But I hope these will be added along the way. One thing I strongly dislike about this app is it’s unnecessary big visual background that takes up 1/3 of the screen. Even though it goes away after scrolling its uneconomical use of limited real estate on the phone makes me hate it. A todo app should focus on what the user tries to accomplish and reduce every possible noise. I love the Things app for its simple design. It’s just so beautiful. You can feel that everything shown on the screen is intentional with a purpose. The original Wunderlist design was also really good for the same reason. Please offer the option to remove the annoying title background. I hate it! Thanks

Need more upgrade

(There is now iPad support!) I have loved Wunderlist, and Microsoft aims to replace it. The features in To Do are remarkably similar and familiar to Wunderlist users with simplicity and minimalism at its core. With a slimmed-down UI, there's less to distract you and with the flawlessly smooth and responsive controls, you feel like you have a firm grasp on your system. Everything is intuitive and inviting. In addition, I'm from Seattle, so I appreciate the themes. Right now the only things missing for my own workflow is the ability to have folders and sublists. This is my last reservation for using this app and once this is complete (both are planned), I can officially utilize this as a Wunderlist replacement. Once I use this in my workflow, I will be most excited about the "My Day" feature. I can use that in tandem with my office' implementation of Kanban to help me see what I committed to getting done today. I can see this being useful for O365 organizations as well, since it can replace the Outlook tasks, pull assigned tasks from Planner, have inputs with Teams (i.e. Right click a message and select "Create Task") I'm excited to see where this goes as I wait patiently for the product to bake. Until then, three stars is about where it's at as of now--little more than a college student's obligatory first app.

Good Start, would like to join beta reviewer if beta version exists

Since this app was apparently built by Wunderlist developers, I shouldn’t be surprised that there’s sync issues, namely between iOS and desktop website. If I edited items on my phone then checked the list on a desktop browser, not only would it not update on the browser, when I go back to the mobile app, it changes things back to before I made the edits. This app seems to have a hard time telling which edits are the most recent and what to change/not change when syncing. Then there’s the minor but still annoying issues such as the whole list moving up and down too much when you try to re order an item (not sure if it’s a bug or a “feature” but please get rid of it) Some functionality suggestions: It’d be nice if items with due dates of “today” can be/are automatically added to My Day because that’s it seems convoluting to have something due today but not have it in “My Day” Also, it’d be very helpful if there’s a way to quick see items past due. Right now you have to check each and every one of lists to look for things you missed and it can get frustrating and time-consuming Changed to 3 stars because although right now it’s half-baked, I really want this app to work.

Amount of features are perfect for me. UI is simple to learn with a nice design.

I love where this is headed! I’ve been waiting to get to my Outlook/Exchange Tasks for quite awhile from iOS! The interface looks good and I love being able to change Due Dates on numerous tasks at once, etc. One big problem for those of us who have been using Outlook Tasks for 20+ years and have been using Views in Outlook to hide the fact that we’ve not done a good job of dosing or deleting old Tasks...Put some sort of config that will filter To-Do Tasks to the next month and the trailing month (next 30 days and trailing 30 days would be even better!). Reason being: Current To-Do App was working great until it started becoming unresponsive and then seems to flat out crash once it hits 1799 Tasks! So, it’s unusable for me unless I spend a bunch of time cleaning up my Tasks!!!

Almost perfect. Adding sync with calendar features would be awesome.

It’s easy to create, order, and customize my lists just how I want. My lists automatically sync on my Windows 10 App, in any browser, and in my iPhone app just by logging into my Microsoft account on each. My favorite part about the App is that it’s the perfect balance between simple and customizable. Each of my list looks unique and beautiful, without making me make too many decisions. It offers just the right amount of colors, icons, and backgrounds to choose from for my lists without making me overthink anything, so I can focus on getting stuff done without anxiety. If you’re looking for a complicated todo app, look elsewhere.

Thanks Microsoft Team

I really like the look of the app, adding emojis to list titles for quick reference. and the ability to make many lists. I would love to see improvements particularly regarding recurring tasks. While, after quite a bit of hunting, I found how to get repeat reminders for tasks, it’s bothersome that there is not a way to have tasks already populated for each day on the daily task list or set for a specific day. This is the one feature I really miss from Todoist. I’m not that person that thinks clearly before 10am. I need to have my daily list ready the evening before so I have it to follow before my brain really wakes up. I know I can see them in Outlook - just wish I could see my todo’s for the day without having to turn on the laptop and go there.

Simplest Todo app ever.

Over the last few weeks some of my biggest issues have been addressed. - they finally allowed you to hide completed tasks from myday - they added the star function from wunderlist These few additions have made the app usable enough for me as a long term wunderlist user, to finally see the possibility of switching over to this app if or when wunderlist is killed. A few more additions would bring it to parity with my wunderlist usage - Folders: (this is a no brainer and I’d be surprised if they don’t have it already testing internally) - Natural Language Processing: for due dates and reminders (I actually was surprised by how much I use this in wunderlist) - Google Calendar Integration: (I know it’s Microsoft todo....but realistically most of us are not going to switch from using google calendar when there are other todo apps that are close in functionality and support google calendar) - Add tasks via email: (I don’t think you can do this now, but I don’t use outlook email app so maybe you can do it from there)

It's light and quick

I like the design of the app. It is very simple and easy to use. The My Day feature is great to plan out what to do in a given day. (Would be neat to be able to plan upcoming days in a future update too perhaps.) My main issue with the app, however, is the unreliable syncing. Sometimes, when adding a task on one device (eg my phone), it will show up instantly on another device (eg my computer), which is great. But sometimes there is a significant delay before it shows up, and other times, tasks don’t sync at all. While I do enjoy using the app for its simplicity and My Day feature, I cannot be certain that when I plan my day in the morning on my computer, everything will show up later on my phone. And unfortunately, that’s kind of a deal breaker for now...

Thanks

Most of the time when a big company buys a smaller, useful studio, the product degrades. Look at Skype. But here, Wunderlist and a lot of its features have much improved in To-Do. This isn’t to say there aren’t any downsides. Here I’ll list some features I hope will be added soon. -Custom tasklist background -Dark mode or / Colored themes that replace the bright and glaring white theme set. -Being able to sort the My Day list, either showing incomplete up top and the ability to hide completed. This is the most useful feature of To-Do, so it’d be great to see it improved even more! -Checklists. The one feature useful in Wunderlist, but left out in To-Do. Please bring this in! -Add new to top. This is another Wunderlist feature that isn’t present here. Make it list specific. Have it so you can toggle per list, whether a new task will be added to the bottom or top of the pile. If you can make this a quick toggle ever present onscreen, then even better! Thanks Microsoft! I just hope this gets updated instead of killed off. :)

Awesome

While I love the simplicity, it’s not all there yet for me. I love that it syncs perfectly, for me, to outlook tasks as that’s my main source of task input and planning. I also love that I can see what the developers are working on through the app itself as I can see this will soon become a great companion to outlook and the Microsoft suite in general. I imagine jumping for joy if, once they’ve gotten this app all dialed in and fully developed, an update was made to outlook tasks to give a fresh perspective to a very useful but outdated piece of the puzzle. I’m excited for the prospect of giving this app a 5 star rating in the near future on my long endeavor for the perfect task manager suite.

This is a promising to-do app that I can actually use at work since it’s included in our O365 apps, but will not jump-in completely until it becomes more reliable. The interface is simple, easy to use and has just enough features to meet most of my needs without all the complexity of too many task managers these days. But after just starting to use it I am already seeing bugs like duplicate tasks that are apparently mirrors of each other because when I deleted one of the duplicates they both disappeared! Yikes! I like a simple task manager - but one I can trust!! I can’t trust this one yet. But will keep it on the phone for now and see if a few updates come through before I start trying to use it more.

This app had a lot of promise when first released. I was a heavy Wunderlist user that opted to give the app a chance, knowing it wasn't fully baked yet. Over a year later, I'm still waiting on feature parity and the ability to do relatively simple things like create sublists or share lists and tasks. Wunderlist hasn't been updated and now looks out of date. To-Do no longer looks as modern as when it was released and still lacks key features, which have been in planning forever. Now you have Planner, which looks promising. Unless something changes soon, I'll be looking for alternatives. Apps like Things 3 or Todoist have consistently improved over the years and look much better from a UI and feature perspective.

I love this app but the only thing making me want to delete it is how much it makes you login over and over again. Apps are not supposed to do that. It’s not a high security email account so there’s no worry. Please make it like every other app we use and let it stay logged in or I can’t handle it anymore. Also, suggestion- could you please make an option of tasks that are able to be set to repeat? If it’s something I need to be reminded of every day, weekly, or monthly I’d like to be able to set it on an auto repeat. With these two things, I’d be 100% in love with this app. Thanks!

I agree with the other reviewers - it’s insulting that Microsoft has even bothered to release this. It’s scarcely even 1/4 finished. It must be depressing to be one of the developers working on this (assuming they even have a full time dev working on this, which is a big assumption given the glacial rate of progress). No categories import from Outlook, minimal filtering options, etc... I would like to set this up to use Michael Linenberger’s MYN system, or even some other GTD system, but the app is too crippled to allow for that. Seriously how hard is all of this to re-implement? It’s been done many times before, and apparently they have (had?) the developers from the pretty decent 2Day app working on this via an acquihire. Get it together Microsoft. It’s been over a year and this app is still going nowhere.

1. Have pre-defined filtered views: Starred/flagged, Today, Week, overdue. The “My Day” function serves as a manual populated list which creates more work. Having the pre-defined filters will allow us to quickly glance at what we need to do. Remember, to-dos are for quick activities not fussing around with manually populating. Maybe rename the My Day to “flagged/starred” items. Week view should at least show the next 3-4 days. 2. Ability to “star/flag” items without having to open the task. In Wunderlist a star was next to the item. Why not create the same but with the “My Day” icon? 3. Add priorities (H/M/L/1/2/3...) 4. When setting up the Due Date for a task, selecting Next Week pushes to Sunday as opposed to one week from the original date. This should be an easy fix. 5. When adding a “Next Step”, have the cursor ready for another entry. For example, when I enter multiple “Steps”, I have to keep touching the “+ Next Step” for each entry. Just like the existing function of adding multiple To-Dos. Keep up the good work!

When the preview version of this app was released back in April 2017, it was off to a great start. The app was simple to use and the design was elegant. However, I wish the developers had continued to iterate on their strong start through releasing new features over this past year. They haven’t done much other than clean up bugs. I don’t understand what is taking so long given that this Microsoft To-Do app is the reincarnation of the Wunderlist app. Wunderlist had a broader menu of features than Microsoft To-Do. Why is it taking so long to recode these Wunderlist features into the new To-Do app?

This has been going on for a while and unfortunately, despite its beautiful, smooth user interface, makes me want to not use it. The problem occurs when you are using your Microsoft/Outlook account sync’ed to your iOS device. Your tasks are already sync’ed to iOS native Reminders app. When you try to change items in the To-Do app, it changes the times of scheduled items on your Reminders app. For example, if there is an alarm to an event set at a certain date 9:00 in the morning, To-Do app changes this to the previous day at 5:00 PM. Why? This simple issue makes the app unusable for me. Such a shame.

I really want to like this app but it’s not near what it should be. What I don’t like: -It lacks folders, sub tasks, task sharing, automation and integration -Synchronization has been an issue in the past -Smart lists are replaced by My Day, where you have to manually pick tasks to populate -There’s no color coding or star system to highlight important tasks. The nearest replacement is using My Day What I do like: -It works with Outlook tasks, which is a step in the right direction. -The suggestions for My Day could very easily replace smart lists if you could check them off straight from the suggestion window. (Right now you must still add them to My Day) -The UI is quite nice, despite some bugs still. -Due dates and Recurring tasks work well What I’d like to see: -Tighter integration with Outlook Tasks (assignments, progress, follow ups, color categories) -Automation (MS flow, email-to-task, Cortana) -List Folders -Subtasks (or even just a link to OneNote checklist) I really wish Microsoft would invest in this team because this could be the definitive productivity app

Needs folders, sub folders, list items (like Planner), calendar integration (task due dates populate in calendar), better OWA integration, starred items, and more themes. Once it has this, then I’ll make the switch from Todoist. I love the simple Ui and Ux - its so fast and responsive. Please try to make sure there are no more sync issues before releasing updates. If this is to become a real contender in the productivity space then reliability needs to be top priority. But so far so good. Looking forward to future updates. Great job, guys!!!

I’ve only used this app for about a month but I’m forced to find a different app because I’ve caught it dropping info. For example I’ll update a note on a todo item and the next day my note will be missing. Or in another case I added a sub-todo item and when I looked at it on a different device it was gone and than it was missing from the device where I created the item. I’m guessing the app is failing to update the cloud and so the next time it Syncs it’s replacing my lists with old data. Also experiencing Sync issues where I’ll do something on my phone and it takes an hour to show up on my iPad. Really wanted this to be my todo app but as great as the interface is this app can’t be trusted anymore.

This app has slick looks and completely ineffective functionality. You might like this app if you only ever used it on one phone. However, if you want to sync, it’s not rare for even the website to be out of date with your changes. “My Day” is an inspired feature that loses a lot of its shine when you pick it up on another device and it’s empty. I honestly can’t believe this is from Microsoft; I’ve used their cloud offerings like SkyDrive / OneDrive for years and have more issues with this in one day than I can remember on all their other services combined. (Good times?) As a Wunderlist user, I always feel compelled to check on this one, but I never last a full day on it.

I think this app has a lot of potential and I love that they gather user feedback and implement it. The only problem is that the development is extremely slow and when they finally put out a new feature, it’s buggy. This is especially sad since this is the app that is taking the place of Wunderlist and effectively killing its development. The new list Sharing is especially bad. There’s no way to share directly to other users within the app. You have to go through a link that you text or send them in whatever way. Then when I open the link for the shared list, it doesn’t list all the same items from the user who shared it. An essential feature that still isn’t there is folders. I would love the option to group my lists. There are other features that seem like low hanging fruit that should be developed, like recognizing human language for due dates.

To-do is not a replacement to Wunderlist. Not only is it missing sub-tasks and folders, but you cannot share task nor collaborate. I like the new interface, but without these features it is a dead tool. While I understand that this is a rebuild to tie it in with O365, this is another reason the Wunderlist user base will move to other apps. I cannot stand that you have to sign up for a Microsoft account to use it. Wunderlist was platform agnostic and worked for the users. Wunderlist will remain my go-to app for many reasons. Advise to Microsoft...Tying it to the MS ecosystem a bad idea. Keep Wunderlist as stand alone entity and rebuild the Microsoft platform that 20 years old and has a user base that will retire with it.

If you sold cheese, you wouldn't introduce a super boring cheese with less flavor and then tell everyone that eventually it would be as good as the cheese you were discontinuing. Why not make Microsoft To-Do (at least) as good as Wunderlist (functionally), first, and then release it? I don't understand? Then, and only then, officially announce the demise of Wunderlist. Things that are brilliant about Wunderlist: - Simplicity of user experience without being over simplified. - Visual space and UI is smartly organized. Edit actions in Wunderlist are within easy reach of where your thumbs already are at the bottom of the screen, not just at the top right. - Collaboration (a key feature) - Simple, intuitive, collapsing and expanding folder organization (a key feature) - Force touch edit capability and/or a drag and drop to move/edit a list items. To-Do pales in comparison to Wunderlist at moving and editing list items with extra steps to get a simple job done. I want a simple list app that delights and gets out of my way. Microsoft To-Do is not that.

I have tried todoist, wunderlist, etc., but this app beats them all. I know the team who designed and developed this app is the same same team that built wunderlist, but this app is much better in my opinion. I love the fact that I can create a to do and then create steps and also type notes on each todo. The due date feature, the reminder feature, everything is just perfect. Thanks Microsoft!

Really wanted to use this app with the hope of additional features in the near future. I was working around the basic nature of the app, until I found that iOS sync to my iPad and iPhone was totally broken. Each device had different task counts in each list or none at all. App delete and reinstall did not fix the issue, just another variation of wrong task counts. It looks like Microsoft has a lot of work to do for users with Microsoft work accounts. I guess I’ll continue to pay for Todoist until MS gets this app functional and add real new features, not just bug fixes.

I last looked at this and in April 2017. Now, some 8 months in December 2017, I return and...wow, not much has changed. The UI is still close to what I remember, however I'm not seeing much of any new features since then. What gives, guys? You had a heap of good features in Wunderlist and apparently you've decided to ignore most of them. This was my second (and potentially last) attempt at using this app. I'd hoped that 8 odd months of development would lead to a much more solid & feature driven, app. It appears I was wrong. Poor show Microsoft, poor show. Original review: (***) Early Days... On the plus side it looks clean, is relatively easy to use and has the ability to create custom repeat schedules (Yay! 😎) That said, the repeat cycle is based on the task date and not when the task was completed (Boo☹️) In addition, as of now, there's no way I can see that you can set priorities, start dates or assign tasks to others. Long ways to go, but it's an interesting beginning.

I’m extremely lazy at times so I got this to help me get things done lol. Unless it’s something I don’t understand about this— the process of making an account to use this simple app was long and annoying. I had to make a Microsoft account or something because I didn’t have one. Once I did that the app was nice though. The next day I went to use it and I was logged out and I went to sign back in with my same email and password, but it didn’t recognize it. Made a new account for the second day to use it, but 3rd day it kept logging me out. Idk what’s the deal with that

Pretty much essential if you’re in school. I always have assignments piling up and this app helps me keep track of them. The only thing I would ask for is the ability to set the “To Do” tab as default when opening the app. It’s a small thing, but when a teacher quickly mentions a new assignment and its due date, it helps to be able to quickly take note of it.

While MS may be on the way, and I certainly hope this is not the end of actually development, this app has a long way to go. By stating they are “replacing” Wunderlist with this app, they really need to try harder. This isn’t even in the same ballpark, the same city as Wunderlist. I sincerely hope that they did not buy Wunderlist for no other reason that to shut it down...that’s not like Microsoft at all, I know! (Wink!) Guys keep working! Seems like you could at least make this comparable with Wunderlist! Shared lists, assignment of list items, etc.

I have used this app as a replacement for Wunderlist for a while now. Some features are actually better, such as more visual customization of lists and more options for repeating reminders. However, this app has several issues. Most notably, some items only show up on certain platforms (like my PC but not my iPhone). Additionally, they are still missing the replacement for Wunderlist’s “Add to Wunderlist” add-on for Safari.

I absolutely love this app in the way it integrates with windows 10. My only minor complaint is that synchronization does not always work immediately in that tasks added on windows do not always push to this app until the app is open. In addition, this app does not yet support tags or any easy way to assign tasks to various contexts. Here’s hoping we see that in the future update.

App is simple and very efficient. Problem is that I can’t login most of the time. I use same email and password and it would occasionally allow me in and sometimes it won’t. After trying to reset password, I would get a message saying account info is missing and nothing I can do further. No option of going back or anything else. I have to close the app and then open it again and it works. It is very annoying. Using iPhone 8 iOS 11.2.1.

It has reminders, but it doesn't help much for multiple reasons. I have to check my phone for the notification because it makes no noise. I have to make a due date to make it repeat. Why can't I just set it to repeat monthly until I tell it to stop? It is capable of reminding you monthly or for any amount of time, if you remember to check your phone. I hope these problems get fixed or it can't help me remember to do stuff if I have to remember to have it remind me. It also doesn't have an alarm.

Have tried resetting password (which was changed successfully) and no matter what, cannot logon. Really irritating as I have office 365 E5 plus phone service and it all works fine. Seems like this just started very recently. Maybe one of the 37 iOS updates within the last month! ;) Or maybe it is all because of Net Neutrality... Would be 4 stars if they can get it working again. Someone at work mentioned Todoist, so giving that a try. No better way to lose out to your competition than to FUBAR your own app!

Surprisingly great app from Microsoft. I wish it synced a little faster. It takes a little long for even desktop app to sync. Other than that, looks nice, has dark mode (at least on desktop), doesn't have much bugs so far, and the design isn't bad either. Missing some features but it's a still pretty dang solid to-do app.

With Microsoft sunsetting Wunderlist, you would think that they'd at least have a suitable replacement. Unfortunately To-Do isn't it. Syncing between mobile and desktop works only sometimes, and there's no reliable way to force either app to sync. So you're stuck looking at two wrong versions of the same list until each client bothers to talk to the server. On top of that, even a single client can have trouble syncing. Sometimes I end up with 2-4 copies of a task that I added only once. And let's not even get started on feature parity or UX: still miles behind Wunderlist. Why acquire the company if you're not going to incorporate its IP into your products? The reason I call To-Do "frustratingly bad" is because I -know- they can do better. If they just re-skinned Wunderlist, they'd have a significantly better product without all of the development effort they're apparently spending on To-Do.

Leave it to Microsoft to ruin Wunderlist. Similar but missing several features I currently use. The UI is much better in Wunderlist in my opinion. Plus I don’t see where you can add images...a feature I use all the time. Granted I have just downloaded To Do so I need to investigate more but at first glance To Do has gone backwards. Wunderlist was the best and easiest checklist app I have ever found (and I have tried quite a few). If Wunderlist disappears - which I assume it will - I will look elsewhere. I was disappointed when I heard Microsoft acquired them - I knew this would happen.

No print function Doesn’t interface with other Microsoft programs like oOutlook and One note. Information should be able to be copied or linked,. Why shouldn’t a reminder be able to be put on a calendar in Outlook or an OneNote item be put into the note section of a reminder? Link a reminder to a specific Contact in Outlook so all of the pertinent information is available in one spot in the reminder.

I have had an amazing experience with this app. I can easily make a checklist, add things to do for that checklist, and even add steps on how to do the things I need to do to complete the checklist! I can also change the colors and designs of the backgrounds, so I can color-coordinate my lists. I am very happy with this app and I know I will use it a lot!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s hard to believe that Microsoft is going to retire Wunderlist in favor of this. There’s no comparison whatsoever. I’m not sure what the goal of this app is on iOS, as it offers no advanced functions over the very basic built-in reminders. There’s no groups (folders), no collaboration... it’s really nothing more than just a bland, basic task manager. They should have stuck with Wunderlist and just kept developing it. Even if they wanted to rebrand it like they did with Outlook for iOS. Good luck with this one Microsoft.

I’m a user of outlook and love the ability to set reoccurring tasks to reset based on completion date and not due date. One would think that this app by Microsoft (the same company who makes outlook) would include this functionality ... but no. When you sink a reoccurring task with outlook it shows the task as completed with no repeat date. Another words it messes up reoccurring tasks in outlook when you syncs between the two.

I was one of the first to try the beta and it was not much use. Fast forward one year and Microsoft Todo is my primary task manager. It’s simple to use, looks great and offers something FEW other apps do...an automatic review of tasks. This review will keep you focused and help you get stuff done. This app will get a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating when Outlook can send an email to Todo and make it a task.

This app is good because it can sync across al my devices. It could be improved by incorporating more colors for each list and a red dot on the app for notifications to let you know when something is due or overdue. I have to go into the app to find out what’s on my to-do list instead of knowing there’s a notification. Overall. It’s a decent app I use it to organize my college course and upcoming assignments.

I do not recommend Microsoft’s TO-DO for several reasons. 1) It does a terrible job of importing TO DO’s from Wunderlist. And, ever since iOS 11 came out it doesn’t import Wumderlist TO DO’s at all, even though it claims the import was successful. This is probably because Wunderlist (which Microsoft decided not to support) lost functionality under iOS 11. 2) Microsoft TO-DO on-line help is non responsive. 3) TO-DO does not sync well between the iPhone and iPAD. I’ve decided to use Apple’s Reminder because I know Apple will support it and update it whenever iOS changes. Reminder is a competent “TO DO” that syncs flawlessly between the iPhone and iPAD. It’s too bad Microsoft abandoned Wunderlist, an extremely reliable well thought out program. I depended on it. Now I must manually transfer over 100 To Do’s from Wunderlist to Apple’s Reminder. I am not a happy camper.

For years I used a number of plugins and 3rd party apps to access Outlook tasks on iOS devices. To-Do does a lot of that but with only very basic functionality and limited features. Major shortcomings include the inability to open multiple accounts (like Outlook iOS does) and limited UI customization. Microsoft, you’re 75% of the way there, I’m hoping for future enhancements.

I like the app in general and it syncs very well with the outlook desktop app, which is a huge plus. I hope Microsoft can add one more feature, a widget in iPhone widget interface to make access the app easier. It could be a list of items with functions of adding more to-do, something like that will be really helpful.

Update: I had to ultimately switch over to Todoist because sync’ing between tablet/phone/web was too inconsistent. Often I’d need to force restart the apps to pick up the changes from the other sources. Many times items would either get lost or get duplicated. I’ll try again in another 6-12 months. But for now this is definitely not ready for every day use. —— One thing I really miss from Wunderlist is the ability to drag a task up and drop it into another list. This is must quicker and intuitive than current situation where I have to edit the list, select the task, move it, then make my way back to the original list to move more tasks to other lists. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

I was very excited to find an app that syncs with the tasks I create in Outlook on my desktop. I was even more excited to discover that the app is extremely beautiful and marvelously simple. The “My Day” section is very helpful in organizing things day-by-day. Overall great app. Definitely recommend.

I cannot think of a reason why the developers would ever abandon a wonderfully designed app such as Wunderlist (other than a stupid business decision) and ditch all their hard work. This To-Do (another stupid decision changing the name to this) is nothing like the original. I do not like that I have to have a Microsoft account. No folders, and nothing of what made Wunderlist so great. Check the ratings of Wunderlist, and compare with this. Please please please do us all a favor and keep Wunderlist. Don’t ruin a great thing.

I noticed if you enable your outlook account in settings and make sure reminders is checked, your outlook reminders (and hence to-do reminders) show up in Apples reminders app in addition to the To-Do app. Why is this cool? Now you can add to-do reminders with Siri! Now, if they can add shared reminder lists I will really love the program.

Treat it like a personal backlog. Groom stories (To Dos) at start of the week. Size stories by hours per day. Get it done! If it doesn’t get done evaluate whether it’s important in your review. Works well with merging tasks in iPhone and Outlook. Group to do categories. Best productivity, simple, flexible and accessible!

I have tried many, but I love this app. Simple easy to use, and it’s part of my O365 subscription. I have been using it for about two weeks and I already feel better organized. Minimalist design at its finest!

Fixing things that are broken and improving the performance of the app is one thing but what you need to beer doing is getting some new features into this app. Start by adding some of the missing features that are currently in Wunderlist, like sharing a list. As a family this is our go to feature in Wonderlist and without it there is no way we would even consider using the app on its current state.

I love the simplicity of this app. It has exactly what I need, without all the bloat and excess features of some other programs like EverNote, and it seems more straightforward and easy to use than the Apple "Reminders" app.

The only thing good about this I can say is that it syncs and works with my tasks in Microsoft exchange/office 365. That’s it. None of the features or functionality or meta-data or filters or reporting from tasks is found on this app. Yes you can check things off, but that’s about it. Remarkably weak offering given Microsoft business focus and how office 365 is intended to facilitate real business work.

This is a to do list app. It performs that function simply and it performs it well. But I really hope this won't come to replace Wunderlist. Wunderlist does everything I want they way I want and this app falls just short of Wunderlists functionlity. If this app adopted the feature set of Wunderlist I would use it everyday.

I absolutely love this. The fact that it syncs with my computers makes it so much better. My one complaint is that sometimes it’s a little bit slow to sync between my devices. Overall, great product.

Great app, would love to see subcategories for lists, as well as adding images maybe or a calendar where you can make lists for specific days of the week, something like that.

Maybe one star is too harsh. Let me be clear, this app is good. Looks good, smells good, but doesn’t taste good. There are glaring issues: you can’t share lists or create subfolders. This app is supposed to be Wunderlist’s replacement, but If the aim is to replace wunderlist, you have to at least have the same features of the program you are replacing, which is shared lists & subfolders. Honestly, to not have shared lists when most other to-do apps do is downright irresponsible. Lazy even.

To-Do is a pretty terrific to-do app. The said it’s still missing features. Why in God’s name hasn’t integration with outlook calendar been implemented? Being able put tasks on the calendar and see them would make this a five star app. As it is it’s still pretty terrific if all you need is a clean tasks phone app.

This app has a lot of promise but it very rarely syncs between my phone and work computer. So when I set my to do list for the day in the morning then go to work I get to my computer with a black list. It's extremely frustrating because I would like to rely on this app for my daily tasks but can't when I can't trust it to work where I need it.

This app is beautiful and works well but is really missing simple features that make all the difference. With the addition of the Important smart list I am left wondering why tasks due today are not added to the my day list. Also, it seems small but for people on IOS not having badge count for either the My Day or Inbox tasks is a strange omission.

This app is a massive disappointment compared to the app it’s replacing. No subtasks, no folders, no sharing, no file attachments... They shouldn’t have released this app in its present form without feature parity with Wunderlist. I can’t think of a single productivity app I’ve ever tried that was so simplistic. Regular updates don’t ever add features, but change things that aren’t noticeable at all. Microsoft has a knack for buying companies with great software and destroying them. Good job Microsoft!

I like the design of the app but can you please add the ability to paste lists into this app in a multiple bullet format as you can do on the iPhone reminders app? When I pasted my list all of my 10 items were under one bullet instead of 10 separate ones. Also please add a countdown feature. Thanks!!

Thank you for the simple user interface. Not as bloated as other checklist apps. Easy to use and understand. More ties to other Microsoft products over time, but avoid too much bloat!

I've tried many to do list apps over the years and haven't been able to stick to any for a long period of time. The "My Day" feature has completely changed how I go about with to do's. Seriously, it is the best feature I've seen on a to do list app. The auto suggestions make it super easy to re add uncompleted tasks. The app is super simple to use but some more advanced features are available if you need them. Would rate it five stars if there was a Mac application and flagged emails from Outlook synced over.

I want and need Apple Watch support so bad because sometimes i forget my phone and have my Apple Watch on me and i need to finish tasks so please add Apple Watch support - 5 Stars for being the best app on my phone.

I used Wunderlist for years and ran 7 companies with it. A few things are missing on this new version -Being able to drag to dos to the top and drop them in other folders -being able to have a history of when people are doing things, commenting, or completing items -uploading images -being able to assign items to certain people Other than those 4 this app works great. Hopefully those will come back since they were on Wunderlist

This is a great simple app that makes managing lists of to do items easy. I love that it syncs to my desktop through O365. This is the most helpful app I have found in a very long time. Simple and clean is the key ! Thanks for a great useful app

There is no option to email the list to someone else, which limits my use when I send one of the kids to the grocery. Also, deleting items takes too many steps. When I’m in a grocery store, I just want to quickly “swipe” it off as I pick up items.

Simple to do list with a charming UI. It feels a bit unfinished, though, since it’s lacking a few basic features. There’s no manual sorting, and the “My Day” list, which you’d expect to be populated automatically, is empty unless you add the tasks yourself.

I love wunder list and can’t believe they can’t take some of the best of wonder list and put it into Microsoft to do There so many issues with to do but I’ll list some of my main problems 1. Biggest one is the snooze for a task from lock screen. you have no control over how long to snooze it. The snooze is only five minutes. Tick tick and wunderlist both have options to snooze for a day or even a few hours later which is way more useful 2. You can’t share lists 3. You can’t create sub tasks 4. There’s no version for Mac These are all basic functions in wunder list which makes me wonder why they can’t incorporate them into todo

This is a very lean/clean app and I would give it 5 stars if it had the ability to create sublists. Seems like an obvious feature that shouldn’t be hard to implement. You can enter notes for a to do, but having the ability to check off items related to the To Do would be great.

A relatively new app which makes Apples Reminders App amateurish. This app actually works. It uses a real calendar rather than the antiquated slot style date picker used by Apple. The note field works as expected also, unlike Apples product.

Why oh why do you tease us with dark theme on desktop?? Please push it here as well because come on... if you did desktop why not do mobile at the same time?? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Other than that amazing work and good job!

Very disappointed to see this app replace Wunderlist and then leave out the features that made Wunderlist stand out above the rest. No sub tasks?! No shared lists? I could go on but it’s not worth the effort. I hope to see massive improvements to this app in the future or I will quickly find an alternative.

Subcategories for to-do’s, please. For instance, a main to do within my shopping list entitled “Costco” for my planned purchases in Costco with my separatists Costco items underneath. And Sprouts and so forth. This can apply to “Personal” and “Professional” to-do’s being main to-do’s as well.

Microsoft always makes quality stuff. Having been thoroughly enjoying their "Word" app for IOS, and wanting a "To-do" app, I decided to give this a shot. Not sure what the 4-star rating is about, but from what I've seen there's no reason to not give it a 5-star. Simple and clean yet effective! Oh ya, and I love how I can use it on my computer browser, syncing everything back and forth. That's an important thing! Look forward to any future improvements!

I have been waiting for a good solution to manage all of my tasks and my daily to do list while keeping everything in sync with my tasks through Outlook. Thank you!

I give it five stars because it works. Could it do more, yes, BUT...don’t muck it up and add to much. Want to compete in the future? Make it work with Cortana, Alexa and maybe Siri and then make it shine. Shine a lot and user will be driven to Windows 10 ecosystem.

There is no support for Folders, which I turn made it easy to do lists inside of them with tasks and sub tasks. Wunderlist was intuitive, well thought out, and info you needed was no more than one or two taps away. To replace it with a SIMPLE app that is only good for lists (which EVERY productivity app can do) is laughable! This is no way near what Wunderlist was, and it’s a shame it is being replaced by this knock-off

And important features to be able to share a list. The simplicity of this app would greatly be enhanced would be ability to share. If I am overlooking it please let me know.

I really want to love this app, but I feel like it’s a critical feature, a widget. A large part of why I’m looking for a to-do app is to be able to track my items. Almost every other to do app that I tried had a pairing widget, but not Microsoft which is strange. I’ll change my rating if they implement a widget to track your ‘items’.

Sync seems to be fixed in most recent update, though I don’t actually see that in the release notes. Anyway the tool is a lot better now and seems to work.

I’m so into organizing my to-dos. So I tried so many different apps of this purpose but nothing like this. I been seeking for a very simplistic and easy to categorizing app and finally I found Microsoft’s To-Do. Five out of five. 👍🏻

Missing features: If I have multiple lists, I would like to be able to move a task from one list to another. Good for when I spin up a new list, and when I accidentally put a task on the wrong list. Lists should be marriable to different exchange accounts when I have more than one account. List should be marriable to office 365 projects, teams, and VSTS tasks. All in all though, I use this daily, and like it.

Microsoft really hit the nail on the head with this app. Takes all the great features of Wunderlist, without the bulk, and adding the My Day feature that actually makes me get tasks done effectively! Bravo!

To Do is a beautiful app, and easy to use. However, I miss the folders feature from Wunderlist, and the lack of subtasks is a complete deal-breaker. Add these features and maybe I'll give it another look, but if Wunderlist goes away before To Do gets these features, I'll be switching to one of your competitors.

I’ve searched for a simple to-do list that supports categories and prioritization, and this is the first one I’ve found that really meets my needs

When will you offer the option to edit a task to a different folder

The fact I can not sync this app with all my devices makes it lame. (Almost said useless). Specifaclly my desk top. I work in my office on my desk top for better productivity (old school).i am told the ability to sync with my desk top is coming soon. When will this happen.

Love it for it’s simplicity and the ability to cross op systems. From my Lenovo to my Surface to my IPhone - it’s always there and always up to date. I’m a fan of sub tasks - and this does not have it - but the ability to add notes is fine.

Not yet ready for use. Too difficult to manage daily list. It seems silly I need to set due dates and reminders as well as click it again just to put it into a view for the day. Notifications not working and app freezes and crashes. This is all after one day of use. Had to go back to Wunderlist for my sanity.

Very useful to keep my work tasks organized and on track. I would like an option to change the opening view from “My Day” which I don’t use, to “To Do” whichI do use.

I have had this for less than a week and it has kept me so organized. Only thing keeping me from giving the app 5 stars was that I cannot get this on a non iOS device.

You have to create an account with Microsoft in order to use this. That means giving Microsoft your phone number or email address. I don’t want to give Microsoft my phone number or email address. Why do I need to do that? Just work. I’m deleting this and finding an app that doesn’t make money by selling my phone number or email address.
