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.

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.
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.

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.

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 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
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.

Keeping connected with our team!
We use Wunderlist to coordinate checklists, to-do's, needed documents, as well as staying connected in what different team members are responsible for contributing to our team goals.
- Collaborative lists.
- Notifications.
- Document sharing would be lovely.
- Different OS has different update experiences.

Wundlist is a great app, but definitely could grow!
I mostly use it to keep me organized and help accomplish goals. When I had a management team I used it with them to assign and complete goals and seeing the master to-do list. It also helped us share ideas and effectively distribute responsibility. The huge problem is caused was when I ended our professional relationship, somehow the master list was deleted and nobody, not even the app notified until it was too late! I lost so much data and important info and wished there was a way it would have been backed up. It was all gone and I lost so much time and hard work.
- Simple layout.
- Easy to share and add others.
- Wish it had a backup so to-do lists weren't deleted.
- Wish it would notify all parties if a list is deleted with a restoring option.

Great way to stay on top of income producing activities!
I work in network marketing so personally I love using Wunderlist to organize and check off tasks I need to do for my business, such as reaching out to prospects and making connections. Wunderlist helps me to stay organized.
- Organizes important business tasks.
- Easy to use with a great app.
- Helps me stay focused and productive.
- Sometimes it can take a while to synchronize.
- It would be nice to be able to duplicate lists.

Wunderlist is Simply Wonderful
Wunderlist is used to keep my organization on the same page with tasks and projects. It's a vital part of our day-to-day operations - it's the first and last thing I look at each day. Wunderlist has a great combination of simplicity and the ability to create subtasks, which is generally something you only find with expensive task lists.
- Reminding you of what is due, when.
- Syncs across devices and platforms.
- It's free.
- The interface could use a refresh, it's a bit dated looking.
- I worry that Microsoft buying the company will eventually result in it being shut down.
- Integration of the iOS calendar.

Wunderlist is Wunderful
We use Wunderlist in our organization to track necessary building and tool maintenance items. This includes everything from filter replacements to fire extinguisher checks. We also track items that need to be purchased. This way, anyone can add to the list and anyone can remove from it as items are purchased. There are only a few involved with the list so it is manageable.
- Wunderlist retains information that has been checked off. It is easy to uncheck the item as it is needed on the list again.
- Wunderlist works very well for home and business use.
- You can share different lists with different people and get alerts as items are changed.
- If we could sort the list then that would be incredibly helpful.
- It would be really nice if you could have multiple fields for one line item so you could sort. For example, when remodeling the office we needed certain items done in certain rooms. We listed them by room then by task (ex. Breakroom - Need Trashcan). It was hard searching through the long list. If we could have sorted all the breakroom items together then it would have helped.

Wunderlist ist sehr gut!
I use it personally; I don't use it with my organization. In fact, I wasn't aware until now that it could be a business application. I found it on the Android App Store while looking for some sort of shopping list tool for my family.
- Clean UI
- Cloud sync with multiple users
- Notification to all users when a task is completed
- The "Inbox" is unneccessary and clutters the simplicity of the app. It should just have lists and nothing else.
- Sometimes the default screen on the mobile app is a list that I don't use.
- It would be nice to add more granular priority levels rather than just a star.

A Wonderful Wunderlist Review
My experience with Wunderlist has only been through our Marketing department. We use it to keep on track with our projects and be able to share what we are working on with other employees. It's great to be able to pull up our lists when we are not at our workstations.
- The user interface is extremely easy to navigate.
- Using the application, and going from desktop to mobile, had no hiccups.
- The ability to share your lists with others is extremely helpful.
- I wish there were options to mark tasks at a percentage of being done. Visually represented with a timeline/bar graph/ticker would be helpful.
- It would be nice to have different colored flagging options.
- I'd like to be able to update the background photo to be more personalized.

In love with the app
Task Management - Task are divided among multiple peers ranging from developers,designers, backend/frontend Engineers, product owners etc.
Time Management- Each task can be associated with an estimate of deliverables associated with it, helping keep track of time in a representable manner,
Priority Management - You can categorize task based on the priority they hold.
Time Management- Each task can be associated with an estimate of deliverables associated with it, helping keep track of time in a representable manner,
Priority Management - You can categorize task based on the priority they hold.
- Cross Platform Support - You can create task on one device and access it on the other which includes cross platform support like iphone and mac as well.
- Mac app support - It gives a beautiful mac apps as well along with iOS app.
- Management app
- Its all done and dusted- From one of the recent tweets from the founder of the wunderlist, it is likely to be taken down and replaced by one of the apps for a tech giant.
- Improvements would have been faster APIs, better syncing
- Role management - this feature would have been great where there will be permissions for actions based on the user priveleges

Great for shopping lists, less ideal for businesses
A colleague and I use Wunderlist as a simple to-do list that can be shared between us since I work remotely and he is usually not at his desk. We decided to try Wunderlist a number of years ago because we needed a simple tool that was able to automatically sync tasks between both of our phones. It's not used company-wide, but we began using it between the two of us about four years ago.
- It's very easy and intuitive to use.
- The user interface is streamlined and the perfect size for reading and using.
- You can have multiple lists so that you can have a separate to-do list for each project.
- The sync functionality is not very reliable.
- The web interface is not any different than the mobile app's UI.
- It's not easy to see which tasks have extra information/notes attached.

Wunderlist gets to-dos done
Wunderlist is in use by several of my clients to track progress and tasks on many different projects.
Primarily it’s being used by divisions or departments within each company to focus on their specific tasks. For example I have a team that’s using it to track website fixes. Site users in the company can add fixes to Wunderlist and the web team makes the fixes a marks them as complete.
- Syncs well.
- Multi-platform.
- Can include web links.
- The big thing is that Microsoft is supposed to be sun setting Wunderlist, or at least was supposed to years ago. I’m hesitant to recommend it if that’s still on the radar.
- Notification overload. I don’t need an email every time an item is added to Wunderlist. Send me a daily digest or weekly for done projects.

Wunderlist will make your job better. It's worth it.
I have a team of about 10 people within an organization of about 150 people. We use Wunderlist to collaborate on tasks, projects, and lists. One user can create a list (say a list of people we need to reach out to for the first time) and others can contribute, leave comments, add tasks, etc. This makes teamwork much easier. Often times in a meeting, we will just open up our Wunderlist and go through the tasks we've collaborated on. Our team communicates and tracks work frequently on the app.
- Organizing. It is very easy to organize your notes and different lists. It really streamlines my thoughts. I never open Wunderlist and am confused about my notes.
- Sharing. Sharing my notes or lists with others and adding them to different projects is very simple and easy. We've never had an issue.
- Loads fast. Your information can be pulled up quickly in Wunderlist. This is essential as I'll be in a meeting and have to pull up a reminder quickly.
- Creating new lists on the mobile app can be complicated, more so than it needs to be.
- I never use the scheduled reminder feature, yet the app seems to really want me to. If it's unneeded it should be easy to remove.
- Deleting tasks and comments can be confusing.
