Vetted Review
Verified User
As a small business owner also working a full-time career and managing a small family, it's hard to juggle all things at once without something slipping through. I use Microsoft To-Do to keep all of my tasks bucketed into their respective "families" you could say and make sure I don't miss deadlines for projects I'm working on. It also helps me see and plan far in the future. I use Groups in To-Do to manage lists for large-scope projects that could span over months or years. Before I used Microsoft To-Do, things were falling through the cracks, or a deadline would come up that I didn't park anywhere in a usable way, and it would be too late to act on it.
- Simple task management. Through lists and groups, you can assign tasks, organize them into groups, and add deadlines (or not) to each of them. You can also add micro-steps within each task if you want to break it down even further.
- Daily View - I know what's next, as well as what's coming up. I can turn on my laptop in the morning, open up Microsoft To-Do, and clearly see what needs to be done that day, what I may have missed from previous days, and what is coming up tomorrow.
- The ability to add detail to a task. You can add micro-steps, like mentioned above, but also reminders that ding in-app, a deadline, a repeating deadline (which I love for weekly or monthly tasks), a category, files, and notes.
- When adding a task with a repeating deadline, if the first deadline is set to a future date, the deadline will revert to "Today." This essentially has me set the deadline twice. If I remember this glitch, I'll set the repeating schedule first, then the deadline.

Miss Less and Do More with Microsoft To Do
Working with Microsoft Office 365 suite gets supercharged with Microsoft To Do.
Flagged emails? Auto suggested.
Assigned tasks from planner? Already on your to-do list.
Work mentions in emails and highlighted by Microsoft Viva? Added to the day of your reminder.
Thing is that Wunderlist was already very good and Microsoft has managed to keep it that way and integrated it into their app. Given that I work in a cross-functional capacity in my organization makes Microsoft To Do super useful.

- Suggestions.
- Assignments.
- Reminders.
- Overdue assignments/tasks can be managed better. Would love it if To Do reminded me of the things I'm behind without having to open Outlook.

A solid, basic to-do app
I use Microsoft To-Do for keeping track of personal tasks. I don't use it within the context of a team or for any major project management features, I'm focused on using it for more individual day-to-day tasks.
- Creating lists of things that need to get done
- Creating lists of other items that you want to sort by category
- Giving you a prioritized list of what you should try to accomplish in your day
- Easily assigning tasks to others: [I feel] it's confusing that some lists are shared and others are not and you can't move items between them
- Auto-detect of dates or tags for quick list creation
Every day I control my tasks/lists and their implementation. I plan my whole day. I form a list of tasks, I set their priority. We share lists with various colleagues.
- Very easy to manage tasks.
- Many clients for different platforms.
- Integration with Outlook.
- Integration with Alexa which I like.
- Notification if someone did not complete the task on time.
- I would like to be able to authorize through third-party services (like Google, Apple, or Linkedin).
- Also integration with other services and, for example, with my google calendar.
We started using Microsoft To Do to help our project management team stay up to date on tasks and keep a good working schedule that was easy to follow. We also wanted it to work with what we current[ly] are using, which was all Microsoft software. It appeared on the surface that it was going to allow our team to do a lot of work in one place. It did help but it felt limited.
- Giving priority to certain tasks.
- The scheduler did work well.
- Mobile app.
- The software felt limited.
- No budget features.
- Support was not great.

Best way to manage my day!
Each individual uses it as they need to. I use [it] to manage my daily workload so no important task falls through the cracks. It's important for me as I can manage tasks by urgency & have a visual overview of where I am at for the day.
- Manage tasks by urgency
- Manage tasks by day
- Very easy to use
- None that I can think of
If you work with projects or you are a person who needs to order his day to improve his productivity, you must use an organization tool and MS To-Do is one of them, it is simple to use, you keep everything in order and at a glance, it allows you to manage calendars, notes, assigned tasks and organize between those tasks that are more or less important.
MS To-Do helped me a lot in the organization of my projects for the team, as well as planning a better distribution of the hours, to be more productive, to be able to have time to perform my assigned tasks, and also to be able to dedicate time to my specialization studies
- Nice and simple UI.
- Easy to use.
- Everything that you need you could get it with one-click.
- Perfect Sync system.
- It is a simple software, so it does not have many other options like Evernote
- Set date-time is a little bit hard to set.
- Share you task with another is difficult.
I've used Microsoft To Do since it was Wunderlist. It's helpful for tracking work and personal tasks that need to get done for projects. It helps with managing small tasks and I like that I have a place to digitally jot down what's in my head that needs to get done. Helps with work-life balance!
- Auto-set due dates
- Can use the drag-and-drop function to move items up and down on a list
- Planned list helps me see what I need to do today
- Recurring tasks can be set at X days and not just weekly
- I really, really dislike that they removed Microsoft To Do (formerly Wunderlist)'s feature to keep lists alphabetized after I click to alphabetize sort. Makes it very hard to manage the list.
- Really need the ability to move a task/item from one list to another
- Would love the ability to print a flow of tasks in a graphic

Great Task management tool
It's an amazing to-do/task manager. I like how you can add dates, sub tasks/comments, etc. it's great for collaboration, too, as you can share the same list with other people for management. I use it for projects at work but I also use it on a personal level to help track or note other to-dos.
- Assignments (you can assign people to tasks and share to-do/task lists)
- Organization - the app is phenomenal with that
- Space for description, attachments , etc
- I wish it could integrate with outlook calendar

Have tasks to complete? Wunderlist is what you need!
Wunderlist is a fantastic way to keep track of tasks which need to be completed. As far as I am aware, it is used solely within my department. It is great because we can record a "backlog" of tasks to complete. We then mark with a star the tasks to be completed that day.
- The app has very low overhead, both in the desktop and on mobile devices.
- It is easy to categorize tasks by the assigned user.
- By commenting on tasks items, it is easy to communicate across an entire team.
- It would be great if Wunderlist synchronized with Outlook email and calendaring.
- Wunderlist should provide for allowing identifying lists with different colors.
- Wunderlist should allow marking lists with icons.

Really simple to use!
I use Wunderlist for myself. It is a fantastic app to use for project management for yourself or small teams. I love how much it can do while still being so simple.
- Document Mangagement
- Team Collaboration
- Project Management
- It may be too simple for some people. However, that is why I love it.
- No reporting
- No Gantt Charts

Easy to Use, Effortless Organization
Wunderlist is used across the whole organization. It is an easy way to share important tasks on different projects as well as check in on what has already been done/or that which has yet to be done. In this way, it addresses miscommunication across teams ensuring that everyone is on the same page and can see updates in real-time.
- It creates a wonderful structure for different unrelated tasks to be visible and accessible. This means it's easy to designate information into different areas and flows intuitively when you either have to input more tasks or find a past one.
- The ability to allocate tasks to other members of a team means that there can be updates in real-time on different lists which is a real godsend when trying to figure out where a project is at.
- The integration of different lists with due dates around similar times into one place [the Today List] is super helpful in giving you an overview of what needs to be done. This also ensures that a to-do doesn't get lost somewhere.
- An easier way to input time and dates when entering in information on the fly would be an appreciated additive.
- A more streamlined desk pop up of today tasks that comes up with the little 'add task pop up'. This would help focus in on daily tasks quicker than going into the application each time.
- The ability to customize your own background, font size and color would be a lovely add-on

A life saver!
We use Wunderlist to keep track of projects and tasks. Wunderlist has been a fantastic tool for team collaboration as it gives the option to have shared lists, assign tasks and set dates.
- Team Collaboration
- Task Management
- For some people (and big businesses) Wunderlist may be too simple. However, for our business, it does everything we need.

Wunderlist is the best app for organization!
Wunderlist not only helps me stay organized but allows teams to collaborate on tasks together. We will use their joint list function and assign a task to one another, which improves productivity immensely! We used to email each other suggesting something that needs to get done and would never know if they had added it to a list or were working on it! Wunderlist helps us stay organized and work collaboration as we complete a project -- I love it!
- To-do list organization (additional tools like shopping list).
- Sharing your lists with others and keeping joint lists.
- Reminders and notifications can be annoying when you're logged into Wunderlist on multiple devices.
- Device updating and syncing is buggy.

Wunderlist -- A No-Frills To-Do Tool
Wunderlist is not a tool that is promoted by my organization at any level; however, a number of users within my department and across my organization use it for personal productivity. It's a simple to-do list tool that doesn't have a ton of features to distract from its core purpose: helping users remember tasks and providing a sense of gratification when said task is checked-off. Its simplicity in both the web and app version are its strength.
- Beautiful design in both the web and app versions.
- Simple, straightforward design.
- The design has been seemingly the same for years. It could use an update and more opportunity for integration with other apps.
- MANY other tools accomplish the same thing, and some of those other option have more features, such as Trello and Microsoft To-Dos.

Pretty Good For Your Personal To Dos
I first started using Wunderlist as a simple way to keep track of my own tasks and to-dos. I loved the interface and the icon design, so it made it fun to open the app and interact with it. I use it mostly personally and recommend it to many other executives I work with. It helps keep me organized and remind me of all the tasks I need to accomplish in a day/week/month.
- Setting Up Tasks
- Simple Mobile Interface
- Many project management and CRM tools now also handle to-dos.
- It's been acquired by Microsoft. The shutter is near.

Possibly the last task manager you will ever need
I use Wunderlist in my work and life to manage tasks or checklists of items across a broad range of applications. Many will see Wunderlist is another to-do list app and it does serve that function, but within my own business (a sole proprietorship) I use it to manage projects, keep track of important tasks and set reminders for what needs doing by a deadline.
- Managing projects and tasks.
- Setting reminders for important dates or deadlines.
- Limited options regarding appearance (themes, backgrounds).
- No "preview" view option for tasks in lists.

Wunderlist Review
Wunderlist is mainly used by the QA department to collaborate on daily tasks and set up repositories for knowledge sharing. We use it to create a to-do list for team members every day and share it with the team. It was easy to track the progress of the work assigned as soon as they completed and updated the tasks.
When we had ideas that helped the process and daily work, we used Wunderlist and made it available across team members. The same goes for knowledge sharing information/repositories that can be accessed at any time.
When we had ideas that helped the process and daily work, we used Wunderlist and made it available across team members. The same goes for knowledge sharing information/repositories that can be accessed at any time.
- Sync and access notes via web and mobile.
- Easy search option to retrieve any information.
- Ability to add images and other file types.
- Ability to flag (not star) for review or revisit.
I use Wunderlist individually at my current organization, but it was deployed team-wide in my previous position. We used it to manage all projects, delegate tasks, determine workload and assignments and communicate on status. It helped us avoid unnecessary emails and maintained a more accurate picture of the status of a task without meetings or verbal confirmation.
- Sync - we never have an issue with tasks or comments showing up across teams or platforms.
- Cross platform - works and looks the same on Android, iOS, Mac, and PC.
- Subtasks - there is little detail in subtasks, and they are very limited therefore, no due dates, comments, etc.
- Due Dates - particularly more complex recurring dates (every 3rd Tuesday, every May 1st) aren't possible.

Wunderlist is a great program
We use it to stay organized on projects for our company. We are spread out in the state so it helps us communicate with timelines, etc. Our operations are manufacturing for state governments.
- The ability to communicate quickly to multiple entities.
- Reminders.
- Printing is a function that is weak.
- Subcategories would be nice when writing to-do lists as there are always sub listings and it doesn't accommodate this currently.

A Solid To Do List and Task Manager
We use Wunderlist to create and share task lists for all different types of projects from individual, personal projects to team oriented projects.
- To do list
- Task tracking/management
- Siri integration would be helpful
- Adding Wunderlist to Car Play with Siri would be fantastic

Wunderlist Review
We use it as task software in our project management department. It helps keep track of everyone’s tasks and notes and keeps the team members informed.
- Task reminders.
- Email reminders.
- Desktop notifications.
- Closing the product is cumbersome.

Wunderlist Review
In the past, I have used Wunderlist across the entire school I worked at. However, in my current job I use it with a few select team members. Organization via technology is not a high priority with my leadership right now so I use tools like Wunderlist on a case by case basis with my team. For me, I see it solving the issue of the need to communicate about tasks. Being able to share lists means that I can assign tasks to my team and know that they are on track without having to call a meeting. Ultimately, it saves us all time.
- Lists
- Sharing
- Notifications when shared tasks are complete.
- More task sorting options.

Wunderlist: a great tool for organization and task management!
I use Wunderlist personally and encourage my direct team/reports to use it as well. Among other things, it is a great resource for keeping organized by client, job, project, etc. It directly addresses the need to not have my team/report feel like I am micro-managing. At any point, I can and review their project lists in real-time rather than taking time out of our days for face-to-face status updates.
- Organization
- Outlook mail integration
- Ability to print or export lists to Excel, etc.
- Would like to see the platform expanded into an even great project management application.

Wunderlist so I won't forget
We use it for day to day things. I used it to quickly jot down tasks and to keep my boss in the loop about projects I’m working on. Sometimes we use it to manage our reputation accounts as well.
- Reminders about ongoing tasks.
- Quickly making task groups and inviting other users.
- I would like a desktop app.
- I would like for it be integrated with more platforms.
