Microsoft To Do for Negative User Reviews

UpdatesI love this app, although would like to be able to order tasks in priority within a day without having to add times. Major issue though is that the recent update means I won’t be able to sync it across to my iPad anymore as the new update won’t run on anything less than iOS 13 and my iPad mini 3 won’t cope with that update. In an era of climate and ecological emergency where we are trying to minimise waste I find it infuriating that companies are updating software in a way that means you either have to scrap perfectly functioning hardware or accept things no longer work for minimal “improvements”. I expect it will not be long before my phone also requires replacement if I want any apps to work on it. This runs counter to everything we should be trying to achieve and in the context of the impacts in human health and the natural world we depend on is frankly criminal.Version: 2.58

Frustrated!I am so frustrated with Microsoft To Do! It has been extremely frustrating trying to import my lists to Microsoft To Do from Wunderlist. It will not store any of my image files within the app, but says I can import them onto my phone or computer as a file, which defeats the purpose of having a list for things that need files. For instance, I have a dietary food chart that I need to refer to frequently. The app does not allow for this due to the file size being too large. I enjoy making lists of gift ideas or future things I wish to order with a web site or image on my list. It will not allow for any of this, which has caused me to no longer have access to these lists. I did download these as a file but it is not in list form but just a mis mash list of images one after another. Also, another frustration is that when I simply wanted to invite my husband to share a grocery list with me, it ended up inviting a whole group of my contacts that were added automatically somehow. I miss the ease of Wunderlist and hope that Microsoft can update this app to make it at least as good as Wunderlist was..Version: 2.15

Gets Cluttered FastThis is like every other notepad app out there, meaning it does nothing helpful for how people put together real life task lists. I use my iPhone’s notepad with checkboxes, and manually update tasks for everything i do. Some are daily, some are long-term. So of course a real to do list app would be able to organize that right? And allow daily tasks to reoccur and be completed daily, alongside long-term ones. Well this app, like all the others, doesn’t. You can make tasks reoccur... but they won’t show up in ‘My Day’ by default. BUT after you complete one for the day (eg. Brush teeth), it’ll just reappear randomly in the list with subtext of ‘tomorrow’, which is beyond useless, beyond unintuitive or logical, and clutters the entire list. Then the whole ‘My Day’ feature gets pretty dumb if tasks can’t autopopulate there. All in all, giving Microsoft the responsibility to make something intuitive is always bound to fail, so this is really just like every other worthless, weakly supported, temporarily-named, overlapping functionality MS product out there. Win10’s, and to a lesser extent the Office suite is fine (necessary evils really, you can’t escape Windows or Office), but don’t let that fool you into thinking ANYTHING else they ever introduce in their ecosystem is useful or useable..Version: 2.6

Please make this more like WunderlistThis is a replacement for Wunderlist, made by the team from Wunderlist (I think). I wish that ALL of the features from Wunderlist were ported across to To Do. Then work on making it faster and less clunky as it runs. Feature I miss the most at the moment is lack of emailing reminders. I used that feature all the time in Wunderlist. I am missing reminders all the time now. Please make To Do like Wunderlist. Wunderlist wasn’t broken, so please don’t try and “fix it” with To Do. PLEASE ADD EMAILING REMINDERS!!!.Version: 2.86

Not User FriendlyI’ve had this problems with several Microsoft products as well as others. It automatically signs you out quite often. When you go to sign back in your info doesn’t work and you need to create a new password every time..Version: 2.66

It’s alright but incompleteNice and simple task manager and as the successor to Wunderlist it’s got the features you’d expect from this previous app. I won’t be using it however because two essential things are missing for me: 1. absence of list import 2. absence of list export This essentially means that your data is trapped in To Do without a chance to get it out, or get anything in, even if you’re changing from another app. I’m a world of open data this is a dealbreaker. My built-in iOS Notes app can do better..Version: 2.33

Microsoft bought Wunderlist and abandonded itTheres nothing new and most importantly BETTER about this app than any other todo, its a lite version of Wunderlist. its buggy, you cant attach files to tasks, you cant share tasks with another person..Version: 1.14

Not usefulI used Wunderlist without issue for 3 years. It shared lists between whom ever I added. I could add shopping items to the list while my husband was shopping and he would see the updates immediately. Microsoft To Do did not do any of the above in a timely or straightforward manner. Microsoft should’ve stuck with what Wunderlist had already perfected. Finding a new list app..Version: 2.17

Buggy stillA great start and I’m happy so far. I used to be an avid user of Astrid and Wunderlist, and have been pretty frustrated these good apps keep getting bought by mega corporations. (Yahoo and Microsoft) For this app, there are some bugs and quirky behaviors that are frustrating. I migrated from Wunderlist and these weren’t issues before. Some example below: - The weekly recurring tasks don’t work. Just try it. If I set it for Friday, it somehow labels it as “Thu, Fri”. Is it a time zone issue? I’m in ET. - The sorting doesn’t work well. As we could in Wunderlist or even Excel, a sort order should not lock the list. We should still be able to move items around. Imagine a use case, where I want the list to be first sorted by items in the order they were created...then I want to reorder some items to appear on top. Not possible right now. We just end up having a jumbled mess. - When you inadvertently check off an item, it’s almost impossible to find it to uncheck it if you had Completed Items hidden. In Wunderlist, when a task is completed, it gets sent to the bottom and they are sorted in the order which they were completed. Now not anymore. It’s jumbled elsewhere and due to the weird sorting behavior (mentioned above), I can’t find it. - No easy way to purge completed items? This should be a setting. I had hundreds maybe thousands in some lists, and I had to manually delete each one. (I had to because I felt the app was slow.).Version: 2.15

Disappointing. Inferior to Wunderlist despite earlier feedbackI've been reading reviews here going back for over a year. People like me who have been forced to upgrade because Microsoft are shutting down Wunderlist are not happy that the My Day view shows ALL your scheduled tasks not the ones due today. It is crazy. The TODAY view in Wunderlist is one of its best features and Microsoft are just not listening. The UI is okay but it is still not as slick to set up tasks, set a due date, set repeating tasks and set reminders. If Microsoft own the developers and the IP why are they being so pig-headed. They bought Wunderlist because it was popular. They are not prepared to emulate the features that made it popular and now are shutting it down..Version: 2.8.1

Poor replacement for Wunderlist!No possibility to reorganize items within a list. When sharing a list, one is not notified when their partner add an item to the list or check an item..Version: 2.22

Steps are headed in the right direction but…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..Version: 1.28

Fan of (the now defunct) WunderlistTo Do likes: • Import from Wunderlist worked • Theme/Background customisation of lists. • Can move ‘Step’ to make ‘Task’ (though too much press and holding actions involved). To Do dislikes: • Input field at bottom of screen feels unintuitive. • Too many steps involved in setting a custom reminder day & time. • Would be good to have a default reminder option in settings. • Can’t subscribe to calendar (task reminders sync with iOS calendar). • Too many steps to view completed tasks and they show up amongst incomplete tasks. • Moving a Step to the List has too many press-and-hold actions. Could add to the List when the List name flashes, instead of waiting til the List opens - which is fine for moving to other List). • Can’t move Task to make a Step. • Font styling on Main screen is awful (it’s nice within Lists). And can’t change theme/background. • Not much Smart List customisation in settings.Version: 2.18

Product only works with other Microsoft usersWe used to use wundelist and then Microsoft bought it and forced us to use this product. I can’t share lists with everyone so it doesn’t make it particularly useful.Version: 2.31

No batch on icon and ...No batch on icon and reminder notification doesn’t work If todo with reminder is added from else where and not right in the app but suddenly reminder notification pops up when the app is opened. It’s not my phone, I have tested on different iPhones..Version: 2.0.1

No widgetsCant believe this app has no widgets !!! App of this domain should must have a widget.Version: 2.60

Great... untilGreat app. I moved from wunderlist which was seamless and this had some great features that wunderlist lacked. 5 star in fact. Until the latest update that is. Why oh why doesn’t the completed tasks list sort??? It didn’t in wunderlist, my biggest issue with it, but this new app did until it updated today. One of the things I use it for is a weekly shopping list, completing the items as I buy them. When I add needed items to the list I was just uncompleting existing items. However the lack of sorting makes retaining the completed items a waste of time as it’s such a chore to go through them if you want to re-enable one. Having them list at the bottom is fine, but please allow them to sort like the uncompleted items..Version: 2.17

Not good at allFormer wunderlist user here. Though I knew Microsoft had bought wunderlist ages ago I waited until the last possible moment to move because the press on to do wasn’t good and I’ve always loved the experience in wunderlist. Finally pushed to the edge of the cliff with the shutdown of wunderlist, I made the move. From the moment I started using this app it has been frustrating. The option to port from wunderlist failed repeatedly and when it did work resulted in a lot of duplicated lists. My husband and I share a lot of lists so we had to go through to delete many lists and then manually invite on each individual list. The in app experience is also glitchy, keeps resurfacing my completed tasks even when I’ve switched this off and the synchronisation is super super bad. It has also appeared to suffer some critical failures where the app has just fallen over and died requiring a reopen. Also the default notifications are way over the top and just annoying. What was the point of taking a high performing well loved app and just ruining it? I just don’t get it. Why?.Version: 2.15

Significant synchronisation problemSo we moved to this from Wunderlist. We didn’t want to but we had to because they will be shunting it down and some times the items were not synced correctly. So I decided to migrate to Microsoft To-Do since they were build by the same team which in theory should be smooth and the synching problem should get better because presumably they would have spent more resource on this instead of Wunderlist. Oh my god I was wrong. First all my shared lists when imported became two copies in each account. We have about 20 of them. So we had to go into one account and invite the other account. And in the other account join the list and delete the list with the same name. So naturally we did this on a computer. Then it took days for my iPhone and iPad to be all in sync. Meanwhile my wife started using it already. But the items in our shared groceries list is like a week old. Then I tried to rejoin the list, deleting 5k completed items and rejoin the list to a point that the app would fail at joining the list and suggest me contacting customer support. At last we decided just to create a brand new list for groceries. We created it on my wife’s phone. Then I joined the list. Then my wife added a bunch of items and added a emoji to the name. That’s 3 hours ago. The list on my phone is still empty and no emojis. By the way, one the Mac, the deleted list is still there..Version: 2.7

Lacking Notification?When task is being shared with multiple users, there is no notification when the job is created or updated. Will be good to add this function in..Version: 2.16

Good app with nigglesEnjoying this app but the “completed” circle on the left hand edge is all too easy to inadvertently touch on my phone. I have to then scroll down and “uncomplete” the tasks. So annoying. Also, the limited amount of text in each task so I have to use the “Note” feature which can’t be accessed whilst setting up the task due to the keyboard, I have to finish the task and then edit it to finish the details. So … niggly app but still using it over my other tasking apps for now, for the novelty factor and my Microsoft subscription as I don’t use the other Office suite of apps these days except OneDrive for storage. Expensive!.Version: 2.55

Great App! Missing one thing though.....Missing categories found in outlook. If it had the ability to do that then this app would be 5 stars. It is very easy to add tasks and set reminders etc..Version: 1.60

Good but not greatHave been using Todo over a year and find it to be useful for keeping track of tasks while working from home. One aspect that lets this app down is the devs have not enabled home screen widgets for iOS14. Todo has a user interface to obtain feedback on user requests for future upgrades (which is a good idea), the widgets for iOS14 has over 10,000 votes. Despite saying the are working on it, they have not rolled it out yet (Feb 21). MS Outlook introduced widgets early on and Todoist has also introduced them. It would be good if this app could keep up with the market, otherwise users might shift way to alternatives that provide the features users want..Version: 2.36.1

Great but recent updates have made it too slowWas my favourite to do list app, but in recent months it has become so slow and laggy. I have an iPhone 13pro and have no issues with other apps, but this one takes so long to load and for any actions to be recognized, whether it be making a new list or changing the due date of something. Would love to keep using this, but the slowness is making it difficult when it ends up taking more time to put lists together than writing them by hand now! Please fix the app so we can continue using it at full functionality! Also a calendar view where we can select specific dates and see what is on our lists for that day (not just the whole upcoming week, or ‘later’ days in one big group) would be a great new feature too!.Version: 2.78

What’s happened to the alphabetic function?I was really pleased with this app until I checked my grocery listings today. Previously the alphabetic sorting function applied to both the “Completed” list and the new list I was making. Making up a new list was a simple matter of going into Completed items and scrolling down alphabetically to easily select what I needed. No longer however! Now, I can only sort my new list. The Completed items are all over the place so it becomes a time-consuming “hunt and peck” exercise to find what I want. Huge loss of efficiency and extremely frustrating when something that was working so well is changed, resulting in an inferior product. Change it back please!.Version: 2.17

Annoying ‘spacing’ bug in Microsoft To Do App!!I have had no previous major issues with this app, so have accumulated a large number of tasks (about 200 tasks). I currently have notes on about 21 active task lists on Microsoft To Do. Each time I want to update edit or save save one of the task lists, it adds blank lines between each item on the list and creates a massive gap between each item. Each time I try to edit the task, it becomes longer and longer due to the blank lines added. it is incredibly annoying and I don't know how to stop these blank lines appearing, I contacted support last week and was told that they were aware of the issue - this issue still hasn’t been resolved. How can allow this to still go on?? I will have to transfer to another app. God I miss Wunderlist..Version: 2.27

Completed task issue.Wunderlist did most things well when it came to list apps. Shared list were best. The to do app is very good, slick and pretty much what Wunderlist looked like. But I find the “completion” task treatment stupid. Wunderlist used to Mark an item completed and show it below competed lists. This was great as you could see the most recently completed tasks in order of completion. Unfortunately Microsoft have decided that the completed task just disappear and when you unhide the task, it reappears where it was on the list. Really annoying. I have not idea how this is even useful. But please at the very least let users have some control of how completed tasks are shown. I would prefer they move to a “completed” section as in Wunderlist. This is an essential feature of a list/to do app - don’t decide for me how I want to use it. Also. For Mac users, it would be great to integrate with the calendar..Version: 2.12

Needs Badge NotificationThis app is ok but desperately needs badge notifications for due tasks. This is almost essential for a task app and all the other apps I’ve used have this feature..Version: 2.2

GarbageDon’t waste your time. We used Wunderlist and recently Microsoft merged it with ‘to do’ and the new platform is complete garbage..Version: 2.17

Not Terrible but There’s IssuesSo I’m trying to wean myself off Wunderlist to the To Do app and while it’s not terrible there are issues. For one I’m not crazy about the Planned section at all. If anything it feels cluttered and unorganized. The earlier tab brings up tasks I’ve not set dates for and ironically haven’t used recently but the only way I can remove them is by marking them as complete and 100% eliminating them. So unless I want to continuously create a new shopping task rather than edit the preexisting one in my earlier tab I guess they’ll have to hang around uselessly in Planned. The other issue I have with Planned is how jumbled up the rest of the week looks when you’re trying to see what tasks are coming up. In Wunderlist your week was sectioned into days and your tasks were allotted to those days. Now the tasks are all piled together under one tab that accounts for most of the week and it just seems like unnecessary clutter. The other issues I came across was that “My Day” doesn’t auto populate which seems rather redundant and I preferred when the important tasks moved to the top of the lists. It would also be really awesome to move the tasks assigned to each day in an order of importance if that became available. I know To Do is still an app in progress but I do rely upon my planners a lot and hope it eventually becomes as successful as the beloved Wunderlist..Version: 2.12

Disappointing replacement for WunderlistAs with seemingly everything sold to Microsoft, this has gone from an extremely useful functional app to a bit of a disaster. Today’s hassles are to do with the typically dreadful Microsoft sign-in process: trying to accept a list invite leads to going in endless circles. Reminds me of why I ditched windows in favour of linux all those years ago..Version: 2.60

A disappointing replacement for WunderlistWorks fine providing you don’t want to share a list with someone. If you do, this rather bizarrely insists that you can’t do it unless they’re from the same organisation as you, or you both have exactly the same type of Microsoft account. So if, like me, you’ve been forced to switch to this app because Wunderlist doesn’t exist anymore, and you only ever used Wunderlist to share shopping lists with your partner, AND both of your Microsoft accounts are work-related when your Wunderlist ones weren’t, this app is pointless for you. It’s a very strange “feature” to adopt when that essentially cripples the potential user base for To Do. Even if you’re not switching from Wunderlist, which had no such restrictions and just worked, why would anyone want there to be a restriction on who they could use this with, when there’s no benefit to there being one? As such, this is a good app that is totally useless to me now and I’ll be looking to replace it, when I’d only ever gotten it to replace an app I was previously happy with..Version: 2.13

Rubbish!!!!!!This app is useless. You can’t even create an account without having a Microsoft account beforehand. If you want to open a new account it simply can’t be done via the app. If you click on the “don’t have an account” it takes you to a registration page that you can’t get past because of a cookie warning that covers the info you need to complete it and advance to sign up. If you do have an account, when you login, you are faced with an over complicated interface that is not intuitive in anyway whatsoever, and for all it’s complexity and awkwardness it is actually very feature poor! It simply doesn’t work! School kids could design and develop better software. This isn’t even in the same ball park as Wunderlist. If you used Wunderlist, keep on using it and if it does get shut down DO NOT TRY THIS ONE!!! Try Todoist or similar. Personally I am not too keen on the Todoist interface but it’s leagues ahead of this rubbish and at least it has the features you had with Wunderlist. Todo??? Or maybe “Not Todo” would be more accurate. Absolute joke!!!!!!.Version: 1.41

Great AppI like how it has simple features. Like reminders and whats important. But looking forward to see this app go bigger and better..Version: 2.10.1

Syncing is unreliableMake a few changes on the Windows app. Never appears on the iOS app. Frustrating..Version: 2.13

Double spacing bugFor some reason my lists are suddenly double spacing for no reason (and some lists have massive spacing issues (up to 20 lines) which makes it really hard to read long lists. This has only started happening recently and seems to be linked to when I have added a web address to a list, as the web address repeats itself multiple times. What’s going on?? If you could sort this I would give this app 5 stars..Version: 2.28

Not goodWhen you create a task and make an error, you cannot correct it without having to delete and rewrite it. Cannot add attachments. Even though you completed your tasks, it doesn’t automatically delete it, and you have to delete them one by one. No settings option to make adjustments. Now that I wrote these out, I’m downgrading my headline to terrible..Version: 2.35

Not bad can delete things by accidentCool and good to use but data can be lost.Version: 2.53

Useless! Bring back Wunderlist!After finding out Wunderlist is no more I thought I would give this a try and it failed at the first hurdle - importing my existing lists from Wunderlist. I have tried now 3 times and received the same message that there is nothing to import! Useless. Wunderlist was my most used app on iOS by a country mile and I am seriously disappointed to lose it. It was so useful for so many things and really made me more efficient in everyday life. I will not be persevering with Microsoft’s poor imitation of a replacement after this terrible initial experience and will be searching for another option..Version: 2.15

Utterly uselessWhat a total waste of time!! Spent half an hour just trying to get into the app even though I have an existing Microsoft account. When entering my details I get a prompt that these details don’t exist and I need to create an account. Then I get a message saying an account already exists with my email address. The app then opens a internet browser window in the app where I am able to log into my Microsoft account but then there is no way to get back to the app itself. The only thing is a cancel button top left which brings me right back to the very first sign in screen. I mean did they spend any time on testing at all? Literally could not get the first screen and I have worked in app testing so know what I’m doing. Complete waste of time. Proves again that Microsoft are simply useless! Stay away from this app unless you want to waste some precious time and leave feeling angry and frustrated..Version: 2.16

Not There YetWorking with Office 365 - I thought this would be the solution to bring my tasks & schedule under one application, rather than using Outlook, Teams and Wunderlist separately. Sadly, that’s not the case. Firstly (unlike Wunderlist) there is no dedicated desktop app available on the Mac. I was delighted to see the inbuilt “Task” feature in Outlook syncs your tasks under the same Microsoft account used with this App. However this feature is incredibly limited and presented so many discrepancies that I simply cannot afford to rely it. Further more - Microsoft To-Do, Wunderlist & Microsoft Teams all lack the ability to sync tasks to appear in your calendar! Deary me! - A To-Do list not in sync with your Calendar is as useful as a chocolate tea pot! I have no doubt Microsoft will eventually get there, but until then,I will continue to have separate windows open for Outlook, Teams & Wunderlist to best manage my time..Version: 1.54.1

Poor syncing abilities - use another appI have used this app for a long time 3+ years. Unfortunately it is broken most of the time and the syncing functionality seems to fail and delete data. I’ve reverted to taking screen shots to ensure I haven’t forgotten things. I have logged multiple requests to Microsoft for the sync issues to be resolved and they’ve failed to address it properly. Logging out fully and in again is not a fix. I will be moving to another app as Microsoft have clearly broken it since it was Wunderlist..Version: 2.83

Not great enoughIt’s a good app. In order to be great, it has to offer more like, calendar integration and cross communication with outlook and more..Version: 2.38.1

Wunderlist en beaucoup moins bienPourquoi racheter wunderlist et retirer des fonctionnalités? Plus de commentaires, plus possible d’avoir mes tâches faites en dessous dans un onglet ouvert/fermé, obligé de les masquer complètement et pour les afficher il faut faire beaucoup trop de push. De plus l’importation supprime les accès aux personnes invitées dans les notes partagées. Il faut les réinviter et encore la ça bug. Vraiment dommage. Wunderlist va me manquer..Version: 2.15

Frustrating quirksOn the whole it’s a good app, but has some frustrating quirks. It’s too easy to accidentally delete a task or mark as completed when all you’re trying to do is just swipe down the list or rearrange the list order. This is made even worse by the lack of any visible undo feature. It would be nice to be able to set new tasks to be added to the bottom of the list. Just now new tasks go to the top of the list. If you then want to move to the bottom of the list you can’t even do that. It won’t let you. You have to move it to 2nd bottom, then move the bottom one above it - crazy!.Version: 2.16

Not bad but not good eitherI am also a wunderlist fan trying to make the switch. The biggest frustration I have at the moment is when I’m making my grocery list. I always sorted on wunderlist with the importance or the star icon. And then I put the list in order from my routine in the store. I weekly shop for a family of 6 and it takes me about 45 mins with my list in order including driving time. However with this new app I can sort my list by importance but then they won’t let you reorder your items manually also. So when I cancel the sort list by importance it changes it to some other way of sorting. Instead of just leaving it in it’s previous sorted order but making it so I can make manual changes it changes the sorting order. I have no idea which order since I took off any kind of sorting. It’s very frustrating. So it looks like it’s impossible to put my shopping list in order of how I go through the store to make it quicker. Without first writing my list down and then transferring it to this app. When I don’t have my list in order my shopping trip takes quite a bit longer to complete. It’s so frustrating especially with this corona virus situation and me being in the high risk category as I’m expecting. Please update the app to make it more like wunderlist!!!!!!!.Version: 2.13

Works well - needs interface improvementGood app for basic task tracking and prioritizing. Would love the ability to drag and drop tasks on top of each other to create sub tasks. If you already have a Microsoft office subscription this is a good enough to do tracker..Version: 2.87

Lost all my lists for no reasonI have no idea how or when this happened, recently I noticed that To-Do wouldn’t let me open the app without logging into my Microsoft account. I didn’t think much of it and just figured I’d been timed out or something. When I logged in I’m fairly certain my lists were all still there (again this was last week, so it’s blurry), but today when I opened the app, it has me signed into my Microsoft account at the top (which looks different, I don’t remember the app showing me my profile picture, it’s possible that it’s a different Microsoft account, but I only have this one, so idk what account my lists may actually be under; when I first downloaded the app I logged into one but I can’t remember why it wouldn’t be the same as the one I signed into it with last week). But now the app has no lists, whereas I had quite a few Ive been using for school and other personal notes and tasks. I really hope it’s not all lost, and that this is just a rectifiable error on my part. And actually, now that I remember, I have had the To-Do widget on my home page, and just yesterday it was showing me my lists, now it says I have nothing planned. Again, not sure what the issue here is, but I hope it can be fixed and I can recover my data!.Version: 2.71

Missing featuresJust keep Wunderlist. It’s a great app.Version: 2.10.1

Half-BakedThis 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..Version: 1.25

Merely populates iPhone RemindersI’ll give this app 2-stars because it doesn’t crash ... but seriously, why would anyone WANT to quit using the superior Wunderlist for this half-effort? Any item you create is stored in the iPhone Reminders as a to-do, but neither scheduled nor shared with associates. Items are not entered by default with a due date, and even if you do add a due or reminder date, they’ll disappear from “today” and don’t carry over to tomorrow, so you must manually add any tasks from a single list of ALL tasks. If you mark an item with a star ... well that’s meaningless. And should you open your iPhone Reminders, you’ll find 100’s of stored there, thereby making simple reminders (like “go to bed”) lost amongst the work tasks that didn’t require being spammed through the Reminders app, not to mention now your to-do of “turn in report” has the same unimportant notification appearance, sound, and limited snooze options as “pick up kids from school”. Utterly worthless and a lesson for how to drive away millions of customers so an app exists solely to have O365 but without any of Wunderlist’s functionality. What a waste..Version: 2.17

Terrible version of WunderlistThis app is absolutely terrible. Significant issues sharing lists which is the main reason our family used Wunderlist which was bought by Microsoft. Too bad the product is significantly inferior. Would NOT recommend!.Version: 2.15

You just broke it! You changed the basic functionality from REPETITIVE list to ONE-OFFThe latest up(down?)date removed the ability to SHOW ALL items together and SORT the list while selecting items. This capability was a huge improvement over Wunderlist and was the only reason we switched. We use To Do for groceries. The list is over a hundred items because we buy the same stuff again and again. Using the completed list, we just find and uncheck what we are out of instead of tediously typing it in each time. Before this update, ‘Show Completed’ items mixed the two lists, in alpha order and we could quickly find items to add, stuff we forgot but need, and stuff added twice! The latest update ruined that functionality, and now it takes longer to make a list than just sending a text. The ‘Completed’ list is now randomly arranged, and can’t be sorted. Please restore the combined sort capability as an option for users who need a shareable list of REPETITIVE items, like grocery lists or household tasks or weekly agendas or repair parts........Version: 2.17

Was a great app but hate that you can’t sort completed tasksPrior to the upgrade you could order order all tasks completed and uncompleted in alphabetical order. Now you can only do this with uncompleted tasks. This is no help if you have lots of completed tasks that you like to use again and again as there is no way to find them any more as you can’t sort this list. Please either change back to the old way or make the completed tasks sortable as well!.Version: 2.17

6 clicks to set an alarm!Works ok and syncs across devices. But 6 clicks to set a simple alarm on a task or reminder is too much! This should be simplified and made easier..Version: 2.5

Could be betterA lot simpler and easier to use than OneNote for task, however I'd really like the option to hide "my day". I have zero interest in using it and would much rather have the mobile and desktop app's open into my first tab/ group. Please, it's always in the way and extremely annoying. Like OneNote, both apps need a trash can/ recently deleted, it's extremely careless for the developers not to include one as I've lost a few well-written notes over this non-including of an EXTREMELY important feature. Not even an undo option, issues with shake to undo, really??? At least To Do has an "are you sure you want to delete?", but it's not enough. Also can't figure out how to delete unintentional created groups in the mobile app, only on the desktop app... Okay? All around it's better then what's out there, just a few tedious important features missing for me to give it a complete five stars. also I don't know what your problem is, but if I take my time to drag and drop something it would be great if you didn't make it JUMP BACK TO THE END..Version: 2.7

Very disappointing and difficult compared to WunderlisrWe migrated to To-Do from Wunderlist and have found it frustrating and difficult to use. Every time I try to edit an item in a list it simply ticks it off and disappears it instead and it is impossible to find - completed items used to appear at the bottom if you did this, now you have to go ‘show completed tasks’ and they appear throughout your ENTIRE list, meaning the accidentally ticked item is impossible to find (and now lost forever). It also doesn’t keep list sorting throughout this process, meaning you have to go back and forth to sort the lists once you hide or unhide completed tasks. Basically a complete and utter frustrating mess and losing critical items is a massive problem..Version: 2.15

Please add a widget..Great app. I just wish there was a widget to compliment the app..Version: 2.42

Can’t loginI can login on my MacBook. But I can’t login on the app. It tells me to login with my Microsoft account using an email. So I do that. Then a pop up screen tells me to login with a Microsoft account. My options are to ‘create an account’ of dismiss the pop up. If I try and create an account it won’t let me because THIS EMAIL IS ALREADY USED FOR A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT!! I know!!!! That’s why I’m trying to use it to login!!!!!!!.Version: 2.25

BlehI was a Wunderlist user and I used it for very simple things - groceries, personal to-do’s, etc. Light, simple use. Loved Wunderlist. I’ve experienced Issues with this app that seem very basic to me, though. For example: - Synching is buggy. I share several lists with my wife and somehow we end up with lists that aren’t exactly the same sometimes. Just got home from the grocery store, wife’s list has hamburger buns, mine didn’t. Watched as we synched again and still not on my list. Of course additional trips to the grocery store are now not so routine. - when I toggle the app to show items crossed off a list, that works. When I toggle back to not showing them it freezes. Every. Single. Time. - it won’t let me move something to the very bottom of the list. Have to move it to second to last, then move the last item up one. - seems very easy to inadvertently cross something off when scrolling compared to Wunderlist. - the nesting feature seems nice in concept, but it’s very easy to accidentally nest something under another to-do item when moving things around on an iPhone, and for the life of me I can’t figure out how to un-nest it. So, stuck with deleting it and adding it again. I would expect some bugs from a fairly new app but seems like Microsoft should be able to do better than the average little app builder. So, we’re gonna use Wunderlist until we can’t then find something else..Version: 2.14

No Apple Watch appNeeds Apple Watch support!.Version: 1.58

Microsoft suspended my account for no reason. Leaving me without access to my list.Wunderlist shutdown, like 2 years ago? I couldn’t bring myself to switch to the new Microsoft todo app, and continued using wunderlist without sync access. Well finally yesterday I needed to sync with other people, so I gave in, installed the app, and created a dreaded Microsoft live account. I spent 3 hours transferring things over, organizing, and coming up with new tasks with my wife for our upcoming huge trip. Then today happened. I tried opening the app to add something to my list, and boom! No more account. It’s been suspended for TOS violations. Huh? It’s a brand new account which I just verified yesterday. I tried going through the recovery process. Nope. They don’t like any of the phone numbers I gave them to recover. I contacted support. Nope. They can’t do anything other than walk me through same thing as website. My todo list is gone. I can’t even access a local copy of it. F Microsoft. They ruin everything they touch. I uninstalled it and will now find an alternative…. Then waste another afternoon rebuilding everything..Version: 2.53

Weekly repeatsWhen I select every week on Sat, it will display Fri & Sat. Please fix, thanks..Version: 2.15

Requires loginAfter a recent update, it seems a MS account is now required to use the app. All of my existing lists have been deleted..Version: 2.30

Wunderlist on its way out 😒A bit clunkier and slower than Wunderlist, why did you did a perfectly good product.Version: 2.13

Nice but feels unfinished (unlike Wunderlist)TLDR: I think I can’t appreciate this app because I basically want it to be Wunderlist - and it’s not. Details: I’m another old Wunderlist user (since 2014) and I was forced to find a new app since Wunderlist is getting the real boot this year. I liked To do at first, but I’ve slowly grown to dislike it. It is not a smooth, solid app like Wunderlist. It glitches often - especially on the Mac. I couldn’t get used it’s “My Day” philosophy: having to pick tasks every day even though I’d set tasks for that day in the past. Just feels like an extra step, and I couldn’t quite get how it’s supposed to work with my tasks for which I’d set scheduled due dates. It has a “planned” view but it just doesn’t feel righ. And I cannot understand why they don’t have comments like Wunderlist did - that was very useful for track progress on tasks. So I’m going to have to find something else unfortunately. I really wanted to like this app, but it just doesn’t fill in the space left by Wunderlist..Version: 2.14

Not a fan of completed listWhy can the completed list not be sorted I alphabetical order? I am no a fan of this new feature as it seems a backward step. Having migrated fro wunderlist, I was delighted that unlike wunderlist, the Todo list enabled me to sort my entire list, including completed list in alphabetical order and now you have regressed this useful feature! Why do I need a completed list in alphabetical order. Here’s why. For my weekly groceries shop I relied on being able to simply re-select items from the previous week’s sorted item list, so that I can buy them again. Not having the feature to sort completed items makes the list pretty useless for me..Version: 2.17

AleForced to use this app Miss my Wunderlist:(.Version: 2.17

Not as Good as Wunderlist - Needs ImprovementI was a Wunderlist user for many, many years. When I upgraded to a new phone recently, I saw the notice that Wunderlist will be going away (sad face) and this will be its replacement. I was happy to be able to transfer all my lists easily to this new app. However, one of the biggest annoyances about this one is that I can’t manually rearrange my lists! It allows you to automatically arrange it by such things as alphabetically and importance (starred items). However, you can’t rearrange it further. For instance, if you have multiple items with stars, and you have the list sorted by importance, but you add a new starred item, it goes to the bottom of the starred items, and you can’t move it to the very top unless you change the entire order of all items (whether they are starred or not) by date of creation or something. But then, your starred items aren’t at the top anymore and are scattered throughout. This is sssooo annoying; it makes me not want to use this app at all. I want to be as loyal to this app as I was to Wunderlist. This is a big oversight in the design of this app. Until this is fixed, I can only give it 3 stars. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!.Version: 2.13

Wanting to like itI downloaded the app at the beginning when functionality was limited, I’m a Microsoft fan so was intrigued when I saw it. After downloading it I deleted it cause it was limited and followed it over time and tried it again and again to see how it improved. It’s come a long way and added a lot but still has issues. Flagged emails don’t come through in their entirety, badge numbers don’t work, it changes dates on the flagged emails that do come through and this has been on 2 different phones. I really want to like this app but just can’t..Version: 2.17

You would think MS could write a simple appAll I want is an idiot-proof app that pops reminders on my screen at an appointed time and show me a list of upcoming tasks in ascending date order. It does the former but not the latter. The date order option shows them in an almost random order, with an item for next May coming before something due in January. Edit: I’ve worked out what is the problem. It’s the Due Date. Why can’t the due date be the date of the task itself? This is a completely redundant data item for most uses and forces the user to go back into the record after saving it. Bizarre !.Version: 2.36.1

Not as good as WunderlistMissing the Wunderlist App. We can’t move items from one list to another. Very frustrating!!.Version: 2.22

BEWARE - it not sync between devicesDowngrading my review to 1 star. This is because the latest version of the app does not facilitate syncing between devices, despite the claim on the App Store. So, my phone, my iPad, the website and the web app will all show different actions. When I log out and log back in again, I have lost all changes and need to re-input - not ideal when you have a memory as bad as mine, which is why I need the app in the first place! This is absolutely crucial to fix. I have become so reliant on to-do, but now I need to look elsewhere. The app called Things has all the functionality but looks so ugly it jars. The new Google app looks perfect but is lean on functionality. I feel bereaved. Please Fix Microsoft!!!!.Version: 1.50

Reluctant Switch from WunderlistPreferred Wunderlist and was reluctant to move. Minor things that make a big difference: 1. Overdue tasks no longer have their date in red. I preferred the sense of urgency this created in Wunderlist and made it clear to me when something was urgent. 2. Reminder is not set automatically to the same date as the due date. This is annoying because it means now I have to manually set the date twice and just slows the process. 3. No week view. Having everything ticked off for my week was one of my biggest satisfactions and now it is gone. Instead now things appear on the ‘planned’ page when really it is far too early to put my mind on them, it is nice to get a break. 4. Formatting issues. Sometimes the to-dos cover the title at the top of the page which is wrong. This will get sorted out soon I know but never had this issue on Wunderlist. 5. Backgrounds are slow to change on the to-do list pages. Overall I am just very displeased with Microsoft. Wunderlist honestly became something so central to everything I do and now downgrades have been introduced to it. If Microsoft To-Do was really that good then it should have been able to convert Wunderlist users by itself and not forcefully. Really sad to say but really shame on Microsoft for not contributing to an advance in technology and instead really being a detriment to it in my opinion..Version: 2.17

Missing One Critical Feature!!I love the simple yet pretty layout of this app, and I love that I can create different categories (work, school, personal) while having a “My Day” area that shows me ALL tasks that I need to complete that day. Beautiful! HOWEVER, any task you put a due date on does NOT automatically show up in My Day once that day arrives! So even if I put a task as “due tomorrow”, once tomorrow comes it will not show up in My Day. So basically every single morning I have to go through my various lists and add tasks manually to My Day. The whole point of having a due date for me is to “set it and forget it”. It’s too exhausting to add each task manually every day. Doesn’t it make sense that if a task is DUE TODAY that it should appear in the MY DAY folder? Drives me crazy!! I also wish it would have a badge app icon showing me how many tasks are on My Day for the day, so I can have a quick glance just from the home screen of how many tasks I still have to complete that day..Version: 1.40

Poor imitation of WunderlistI’ve used Wunderlist for years, and whilst you can seamlessly sync your lists it’s just not as easy to navigate. Mainly because I can’t change the app out of Dark mode. You can only theme your lists....Version: 2.16

Why do I have to get a Microsoft account to use it?!I was happy using Wunderlist in peace until acquired by Microsoft and now I have to start an outlook account for it? Nonsense..Version: 2.10.1

Very averageWe changed from Wunderlist to this app and it is nowhere near as good. Selecting recurring dates doesn’t work easily, you have to do it several times before it saves the correct date and frequency. And then when you tick it off as done, it comes back on the same day, over and over again. I’ve had to delete and re-enter so many things because of this. And stopping notifications on just one list, haven’t figured out how to do that yet... only stopping them all..Version: 2.6

It’s good but not quite what I needI believe it’s a good app for noting down all the things you need to do. However, the reason I downloaded this app instead of simply putting it on my notes or writing it down was so that I would remember it easier. Being a student, there are lots of things going on and I often forget that I have something due. I found out that this app had notifications as well, so I thought it would be useful. However, the notifications are not easy to set. If you manage to set them, they only end up notifying you once or twice. I often procrastinate and so when I see these notifications, I remember to do them but I don’t actually do them. Something helpful would be to send additional notifications that ask whether or not the task has been done. If it has, then the task will be deleted (there will also be an option to keep it). If it hasn’t been done, then the task should be notified again and again..Version: 1.60

Missing the “PRINT LIST” feature! Frustrated...I am a Wunderlist user who (like many many others) was forced to migrate to Microsoft To Do. I had for years used Wunderlist’s “PRINT LIST” option which allows me to print about a dozen or so weekly cleaning and chore lists for around the house DIRECTLY from my iPhone via AirPrint and send all my checklists to my home printer wirelessly—complete with indented tasks, sub-tasks, task notes, page numbers, neatly organized checkboxes next to each item, and even a proper header and footer with the date my list was printed, etc.; however, this same option to print is NOT available in Microsoft To Do which is very frustrating since I have use this feature on a weekly basis for years now. I had spent a significant amount of time creating detailed lists for other things such as an “RV Checklist” and others. Now, since we are forced to move away from Wunderlist to the lessor Microsoft To Do app, I will have to spend time finding and migrating again over to another better app that allows me a simple option to directly print my lists from my iPhone via AirPrint straight to my networked home printer..Version: 2.13

Doesn’t work like wunderlistNeed to be able to share lists across different email domains....Version: 2.16

Notes function needs a lot of improvementThis app is ok but not as good as Wunderlist, which is what it was before it was bought by Microsoft. The notes function in particular is very poor - with no editing options such as the possibility to add bullet points or underline something - and recently it has developed an infuriating bug. Whenever you write a note and then close it, the app introduces blank spaces throughout your note - forcing you to scroll through lines and lines of blank space before finding what you wrote again... Please fix the bug and improve the notes function!! I would happily give the app an extra star if it wasn’t for that..Version: 2.27

A disasterI loved the To Do app. I used it first when it was just Wunderlist. Then one day it would not allow me to log in on my computer. I changed the password so that I could log in, but then it would not allow me to log in on my phone with the new password! I over a thousand lines of text in that app. I called Microsoft support to see if they could solve my problem, but they just told me that they had no such app and had never heard of it and that I had to call the developer. The way I finally solved the problem—if you could call it a solution—was to screenshot all 68 pages of lists for safe keeping. Then, since I had access only on my computer, I started copying every line to Reminders on my iPhone instead. It has been two months now, and I have only had time to transfer three or four lists to reminders. These lists included notes to myself about starting my own business, and it would be a tremendous loss to lose this information. I will never use a second party list app again! I wish I could give it a negative 5 stars..Version: 2.41

Still a shadow of what it was when it was WunderlistIt’s nice that in the latest version I am writing this review for you have an easier way to write features throughout the app,The only problem is they never listen to you, they might listen to you when they have a feature that they want to put in and you happen to mention it. But all the decent upgrades that Wunderlist had years ago before they change the name and rebranded it, I still haven’t reached yet such as duplicating tasks and projects on the desktop mobile apps. Links to the folders that they’re displaying that they are in when they are in calendar mode for instance, don’t link to the folders. I could go on but you get the gist. If you could get Wunderlist working and you compare them, this app still hasn’t caught up 3 to 4 years later. In fact the only things that make this app amazing Are in fact features of Wunderlist.Version: 2.58

Basic could be betterNeeds to have ability to go back and forward on days To have a calendar to plan ahead.Version: 2.69

Rabbit HoleThe app was great up until a couple of days ago where i couldn’t write anything unless resigning into my account when i was already signed in. i signed in with my account and then needed parental consent email even though i'm a 23 yr old uni student. so i sign in with my other emails and then it says i need parental consent to login with that email as well. so i keep doing my emails and it just keeps repeating itself..Version: 2.94

Wunderlist is betterStill not sure why they have shut Wunderlist down for this app. Wunderlist was superior, had a nicer interface, and didn’t require yet another account. Not a fan. Bring back Wunderlist..Version: 2.15

Some Suggestions for ImprovementI was a reluctant mover from Wunderlist, but haven’t found an alternative so stuck around and I am getting used to it, almost rating it highly. Some things that would make it better and earn it 4 off 5 stars. 1. Have the ability to have a weekly plan/oversight perhaps in the left hand margin. 2. The ability to move/sort tasks in My Day regardless of date/importance by simply moving them up and down so you can put tasks in a sensible order for achieving that day. 3. Showing overdue tasks in red in the task lists..Version: 2.38

Moves “Next Step” Items Into the Task List RandomlyWhen reordering “Next Step” items by drag and drop they randomly get moved to the main task list. I have yet to find a way of moving them back. This could be a useful feature if it was two way and predictable, as it is it’s a right PITA. I am currently trying alternatives. I have rated it with three stars as it does have some use, although limited. It would also be useful if dates could be added to the “Next Step” items. Just tried Wunderlist and only to find to my horror that Microsoft have taken it over. No doubt they will either ruin it or suppress it. At the moment you can only go to the Microsoft list. Edited on 14th April 2022. Microsoft have done their usual trick of suddenly requiring a login. Why do I need a Microsoft login for a simple todo list? I used it reasonably successfully for ages without, it’s a standalone app for goodness sake. Can’t be bothered with Microsoft bureaucracy so I am going to downgrade to one star and delete the app..Version: 2.67

Does what I want it to doReally great app and I would use it all the time if there where some additional features to make easier to view. - It would be great to be able to adjust the view (text size, content etc) similar to outlook to fit more to a page. It’s also kind of pointless and a waste of space to list listing every entry with task. What else would it be? - an option to have a drop down menu to see sub tasks instead of a quantity for ease of viewing would be great. - sharing lists between users would be a nifty feature as well.Version: 1.39.1

So buggy, terrible UXDrag and drop is quite awful. You can’t drag something to the end of the list. You have to do stupid hacks to move things to the 2nd last position twice. iOS autocorrect, as we all know, sucks, and when it corrects your grocery list item “tamari” to “Yamato” you need to tap like 3 times to edit it or you need to delete it and recreate it. Terrible UX. I thought I’d give it a try since I know Microsoft acquired Wunderlist but WL was a much better experience. Deleting..Version: 2.17

Improving, update by updateTo-Do has definitely improved from my first download a year ago, but there are still key features that keep me with Wunderlist (app/company was acquired by Microsoft and that team now works on To-Do). Pros of To-Do that have me looking forward to a move from Wunderlist: - Dropped the skeuomorphic design - Has Wunderlist import feature (some reviews say this is still a little buggy) - The font is clean and visually pleasing Features Wunderlist has that To-Do still needs: - Folders and nesting for lists: I prefer to break out different projects and responsibilities within my work list - Option for a scrolling calendar wheel, or the ability to have weeks start on Monday, not Sunday when setting task due dates. I’m fine with the “Pick a date” calendar option, but I would SO prefer the ability to have this calendar have Mondays to start weeks. I’ve been able to do this in Outlook, so I know you can add this feature 😊 - Ability to update profile photo: Currently cannot update the standard avatar - Variety of neutral backgrounds: With To-Do, the background of the “Important” list cannot be altered. For now it’s an uneditable purple space telescope theme. I tried to swap every list to be a plain neutral blue with no cartoon drawings. Some people may love the cartoons, but I need more neutral color options and just want to focus on my to dos, especially the ones I’ve noted are most important!.Version: 1.44

Life alteringly slowOver the last year or so it has been come incredibly slow. Maybe 30 secs to open the app - each time. Sluggish and unresponsive when using the app. Therefore it’s not for someone who wants capture a quick thought and move on with their lives. In that sense it’s not a ‘productivity’ tool. If you use this, you’ll be staring at your phone - a lot. That aside, before became life alteringly slow, it was a half decent app with good cross platform support. Some of the workflows are a bit clunky though. The reminders are a usability fail - almost without fail, every time I set the reminder for the wrong day. This is because it ignores the due date. Why? Surely it’s more common to set the reminder for the due date than it is to set it for ‘today’ - the task creation date?.Version: 2.27

Not yet ready for prime timeUpdate: I dropped Appigo ToDo since writing my original review and now use MS To Do exclusively due to its interoperability with MS Office Tasks. I still won’t increase my rating recommendation because MS has failed to improve features making it a real task manager. In addition to the shortcomings I’ve already mentioned there are bugs they just won’t fix. One such bug is that when completing a task the completion date (as seen in MS Office Tasks) is set to the day BEFORE the actual date. I reported this to MS but they don’t seem to care to fix it. For me, MS To Do is just not quite there. I have it installed on my phone and I’m glad to see MS is continuing to add basic features so I’m hoping it will progress to the usefulness I’m looking for. If one is looking for an app to just make check lists it would fine, but if one needs a real task manager it doesn’t do that very well like MS Office Tasks for desktop. Among other features, I want to be able to sort by multiple levels (e.g. due date, then priority, then subject) and similarly to be able to search and sort by categorized completed tasks for archival record keeping. Microsoft, keep improving and I’ll switch when you get there. In the meanwhile, I’ll use an old version of Appigo ToDo which does it all pretty well except they have dropped Syncing with Outlook from newer releases..Version: 2.93

Good but with a design flawI like the app overall but it does have one serious design flaw. If moving a step within a task up or down the list, if you inadvertently move it to the left or right it will delete that step, forcing you to enter it AGAIN. There is already a delete step option at the end of each step with an X placed there to do just that. That should be the ONLY way that a step gets deleted, not just because of some random direction change when moving a step..Version: 2.72

2 thingsTwo stars because there is a bug that when you have things set to remind you every week let’s say on a Friday, it will also add Thursday to the day of reminders. Not happy as I use this to keep me on track and now sometimes my days are filled with unnecessary items that are not supposed to be taken care of that day. Second can we also add a habit tracker of sorts with at least some analytics that would really make this an all around app. Also I think sticky notes should be integrated in to do rather than one note as one note is a form of taking notes while to do has no note second but in a specific task..Version: 2.14

Why not just rebadge Wunderlist? This app is a poor alternativeI had used Wunderlist for years and assumed once MS acquired the company it would be usefully linked with the MS family of productivity apps to address their lack of a task manager on mobile devices. For MS Office 365 subscribers this would have been a great way to improve cross platform computing options (given how well Wunderlist had achieved cross platform functionality), and also advertise MS as being more consumer friendly. Unfortunately this resulting MS taskmanager is a poor alternative. Many of the things which made Wunderlist great are missing. Having tried it briefly I have now switched with some reservations to Google keep. At least I can share tasks and add images to reminders/checklists As with MS Outlook and the acquisition of Sunrise calendars for iOS, the initial development looked promising, however the many requested features (via their in app feedback option) go unanswered - ultimately for years. Why is this the case when they have already acquired a product which has these features buit in?? Look elsewhere for an app with significant ongoing development..Version: 1.23

DisappointedI originally grabbed this app, as a/ it synched across multiple devices b/ it was simple, it did exactly what it said and little else. Now, what was once a useful tool because of it's dedication to one task - keeping a list of things to do synched across multiple devices - has now become another over-complicated, over-styled piece of software whose use in performing the task it replaced from the 'real world' is no longer more efficient than the original way of performing the task, and is actually less efficient the majority of the time. Technology should help improve our lives by freeing time, or allowing us to achieve things we might not be able to otherwise. It should NOT give us less time, or make it more difficult to achieve things. Microsoft mostly come down on the right side of this equation...but they seem to be blind to the times they don't. Sadly, the over-complication of what was a very useful, very simple app here, is an example of one of those times, in my opinion. The synch capability is useful, but you can find it in many apps now that would allow you to keep a to do list across all devices i.e. notes on Vivaldi browser, so there are plenty of less complicated ways of keeping the same info synched..Version: 2.77

Simple improvements neededAn okay to do list app that desperately needs some simple improvements: Items needed - geo location to do items (reminders based on location) - recurring tasks is allowed, but it doesn’t seem like the alarm/reminder is also repeated so you need to re set it if you want reminders - you can have an overall to do list for the day, but you have to physically move everything for that day on that day. Ie it doesn’t automatically take items you have previously scheduled for a certain date, and you can’t add items for your to do list the day before (I’d like to set my to do list for tomorrow so I can get going straight away, but I have to set up my to do list every morning instead of the night before)..Version: 2.60

This app does not replace wunderlistAs a previous wunderlist user we were directed to use to do. It was meant to be a replacement and better. It’s worse and does not allow personal users with gmail accounts to use it. We are very unhappy!!.Version: 2.13

Just not up to scratchI have tried to be positive about this app because I think it looks fresh and works well with other Microsoft apps but there are some fundamental flaws that can’t be ignored. Firstly, there are no badge notifications. So if you dismiss the banner notifications, you will no longer be aware of anything to do until you open the app. Pretty much every other to do app offers this. The deal breaker for me was when I tried syncing my shopping list with my wife. The items I added did not show up on her list at all. Then when I removed myself from the list and my wife re-added me, it wouldn’t join. Microsoft should just rebrand Wunderlist and be done. That is a solid service that works very well and receives positive reviews to this day. Why reinvent the wheel?.Version: 1.57

Can be frustrating to useI used Wunderlist to keep running meal plans and a grocery list. I switched over to To Do when they emailed us about phasing out the app. Since using to do, I have been annoyed with the “show completed tasks” feature. It’s easy to accidentally check off an item that you haven’t completed. In Wunderlist, I could quickly figure out what I clicked by accident, because it kept the crossed off item in the same location in the list (showed it in it’s original location with the uncompleted tasks still there). In to do, if you say to show completed tasks, it pulls them up in a totally different order... like a running list of completed to do’s. There is no way for me to figure out which one I just removed from my list by mistake. My app is also freezing up when I say “hide completed tasks”. It won’t go back to my list. I have to shut the app down and reopen it. When scrolling sometimes the app thinks I’ve selected a task and moves it... I understand the desire to rearrange items, but I would rather that be a separate menu or something. I make my grocery list in an order to begin with. I don’t want that order changed because I’m scrolling. Maybe include an edit option that allows you to move items, but make items stay put unless you specifically tap the dot to check them off. Too much happens by accident!.Version: 2.13

Not there yetI downloaded it with the intention of using it instead of wunderlist but it’s not ready yet. The lack of sub tasks is a biggy. I believe they’re building that functionality, but someone on a forum mentioned it 8 months ago, so why isn’t it done yet?! Also moving tasks between different lists is clunkier & less streamlined than wunderlist. I’ve gone back to Wunderlist for now but this already looks very similar as you’d expect. Just lacking some key functionality..Version: 1.20

Rubbish app/ shutting down Wunderlist was a mistakeThis To Do app is rubbish. Keeps logging off everyday automatically. No login saved for 15 days. Doesn't allow you to autosave login in IOS. Tried to login today for the 10th time, Microsoft message reading error, please go to live website? Stupid app. Wunderlist was an efficient app, without fuss. Transfering to Microsoft, and now have to deal with stupid flawed Microsoft sign in issues, which is very flawed, user unfriendly and overall enerving. Microsoft has a very bad login issue they couldn't sort out for the past 15 years. I despair. I'm a mac user and everything that i ask is easy login, user friendly and good privacy & security controls. Will have to delete this app and find another app..Version: 2.17

Bad programJust too hard to login. Doesn’t sync properly. Creates duplicate records. Outlook contacts and todo is a real mess. Very poor.Version: 2.66

Disappointing supportStarted with the Wunderlist which was annexed by Microsoft to become the new Microsoft To Do. Which would be ok if the support for older iPhones was still there. But no, one has to have at least IOS 13!! Mine is IOS 12.5.5 , it’s an iPhone 6. You really should support older IOS versions if your app demands to be updated. I would love to do this, but cannot at the moment. So, very disappointed and frustrated right now.Version: 2.58

Over designedI 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.Version: 1.31

I miss WunderlistJust not as user friendly as Wunderlist and still had bugs around syncing and refreshing. I do like the My Day list but I’m thinking of going to Todoist as ToDo is just not meeting my expectations. I’ll use it for work because I have to buy for my personal life I’m looking at ways to switch off ToDo. Wish I could be more positive but Microsoft just doesn’t have the focus on the product the way Wunderlist did..Version: 2.16

Just not as good as WunderlistFormer Wunderlist user here too, moved over due to necessity and currently not loving it. Syncing across devices takes way too long (I’m talking overnight). If I add something to my list via my iPad I can’t see it on my phone until many hours later despite re-syncing. Wunderlist was instant just pull down to re-sync and all the new items were there. If this is taking so long for me via my devices, how can I be sure if I add something to the grocery list while my husband is at the shops that he will actually receive it on his end????? I don’t know why you got rid of Wunderlist, it was the perfect task app!.Version: 2.17

Not loving it so far...We’ve just merged over from Wunderlist and I can’t see how we are supposed to use the ‘today’ functions that we used to use. Wunderlist used to separate each family members tasks and then put them in date order of outstanding tasks so you could easily see what you had to do and how long they were over due by. Making it so easy to find your own tasks within the family. Now all I can find is a planned function and it bundles them all together so they are impossible to organise or see at a glance which ones are your own. I seem to spend more time looking for my tasks now than actually doing them. Is this as good as it gets or is there a better way to use this app that we haven’t worked out yet? Want to find out before we go looking for a new one. Developer feed back would be appreciated.Version: 2.7

Please add in the ability to sort completed items the same as incomplete items.Can you please add the functionality to sort the completed items on a list? As an example, I create a shopping list that uses the first word to sort the items. E.g. Fridge - butter; fridge - cream; fridge - cheese; frozen - peas; frozen broccoli; Household - polish; household - washing up liquid. As I traipse around the store, I complete each item as it goes in my basket. Next time I want to generate my shopping list, I un-complete the items I want to buy. This is really easy if I can sort the list (alphabetical) as all the completed Fridge items are listed together, the household together, etc. Without the completes being sorted, it is far harder. Please can you add this functionality in please? It was there by default until this new version..Version: 2.17

No Synchronisation and No SupportI have been a user of Wunderlist for many years and begrudgingly moved to Microsoft To Do because Wunderlist will no longer be live. Whilst the transition from Wunderlist to Microsoft To Do was smooth sailing, we seem to have sailed into the Bermuda Triangle with Microsoft To Do. My partner and I rely on synchronised list every single day to manage all of our tasks and since transitioning to Microsoft To Do my partner has never been able to connect to my list. We contacted “support” through the App who fobbed us off with a suggestion equivalent to the IT Crowd, asking if our internet connection was perhaps the issue. Clearly it was not given I could use the list I was trying to synchronise so we sent another message and since then, nothing! I’m incredibly disappointed to say that I will not be using this App any longer and will actively recommend others to not use it..Version: 2.14
