Used wunderlist for so many years, it made my life easier both in work and personal related tasks. In the last years the mobile application became really unstable and we had to migrate to Microsoft TODO
Very easy to use, create multiple lists and add tasks inside the list. You can share your lists with other team members and assign tasks to them. You will get reminders when a task is due.
The software is a great task list software but not a fully developed project management tool, it lacks collaboration tools and you can’t create a timeline.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft To Do
Wunderlist is very easy to use and had a very user-friendly mobile application. I used it for many years but was frustrated a bit when the mobile app didn't work well. Made the switch to Microsoft Todo

I use To Do to manage my own to-dos, including those assigned to me in any of the various Planner Plans I am part of.
Within the To Do pane, I can manage my own lists as well as Planner tasks that have been assigned to me. It’s a more flexible interface than Planner, and provides a lighter, more mobile-friendly task experience. Further, To Do’s My Day planning approach is simple but brilliant: start every day with a blank slate.
To Do doesn’t do much natural language processing. The web app has been slow and difficult to use for years. To Do doesn’t bring many high-bore features, such as Gantt charting, but it doesn’t need to.
Reason for choosing Microsoft To Do
Wrike and Freedcamp were, in their own ways, more complicated and less integrated than To Do.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft To Do
I love Teamwork! But it cost more than the (free) To Do, and it didn't integrate with Planner, a tool that we were beginning to adopt in the org.

Although it’s quite an elegant solution overall (Microsoft has partnered with Wunderlist, so they must have seen something in it), it has a bit too many quirks and design flaws for my taste. All the basic functionality is there, the synchronization works seamlessly, and the app is visually appealing, but I wouldn’t describe the whole experience with the interface as very smooth or extremely intuitive.
It’s clean and simple, syncs quite well across devices (web interface and apps available, with widgets and even a browser add-on), and has some basic GTD functionality (though far from a complete solution).
Editing tasks is a bit of a nuisance because you have to double click on a task to access its data. Even editing a task name is a bit of a faff. Also, dragging tasks is not hassle-free, e.g. you have to grab the left edge of the task strip (which is not indicated visually except by a “hand” once you’re actually hovering on the edge), but when you are in the Today list, although the hand appears as well, the tasks are not draggable for some reason (I struggled quite a lot with this, thinking this was a bug, but apparently it’s by design – albeit very poor design, in my view). What I also find very annoying is that when I type in a link in a task description, it is converted to an actual link that works only until you click it, after which (once the target url is opened) it becomes just text and you have to click in some blank area to make it clickable again. It’s all a bit inconsistent: you can drag tasks to other lists, but you can’t drag a list to another folder; you have to right-click and “move to”. All in all, it doesn’t make for a very smooth experience.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft To Do
It's hard to find a good implementation of GTD (Getting Things Done), or just a good todo/productivity app that is intuitive, has all the essential features, and has fully synced versions for all platforms and devices.

Overall, I would urge anyone whose life could be improved by a to do list to try out Microsoft To Do. Especially if they are already in the Microsoft Ecosystem where the app works seamlessly with other Microsoft products.
– I have been using Microsoft To Do since late 2021 to manage my to do list. I the kind of person who likes structure and being organized, so I cannot live without a to do list solution. Microsoft To Do is great to be honest. It does most of what a to do list is supposed to do. For example, it has a powerful reminder system that will remind you both on your phone and your desktop machine on what you are suppose to do at the time you had set you will do the task. It’s hard to miss out on doing a task after such a reminder. In addition to the reminder functionality, there is an option to snooze the reminder – the same way you snooze an alarm clock. – Some of the other notable functionalities of Microsoft To Do that are worth mentioning include the ‘My Day’ feature which gives you a summary of what you are supposed to do on that particular day. I also like the functionality of making a task recurring on your preferred frequency. You can also create different types of lists and have tasks under them. You can also share the to do list with others incase you are collaborating with others on some particular tasks.- The interface of Microsoft To Do is simple and straight forward. – I Like that that due dates of tasks can easily to be input through a smart functionality of the app. For example, if you type ‘Call mom today at 6pm’, the app will automatically set a reminder for the task for today at 6pm. It saves you time of having to put in the reminder manually.
I wish there was a voice functionality that would work with the application to help you easily input tasks into the app. Like a way to use voice to enter tasks into the app instead of you having to manually type out tasks into the app, which you are likely to forget to do sometimes.
