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.
There's nothing to criticize about Microsoft To-Do. The service is fast, convenient, understandable and perfectly fulfills its function. It is great for day-to-day task planning and monitoring. I even use it for shopping lists. Highly recommended.

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.
Wunderlist is well-suited for short-term, small, well-defined tasks. In those instances it is fantastic! I would not consider it for complex project management.

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.
  • 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.
Wunderlist is useful when you have to share a list of items or track and collaborate between team members.
It is not helpful when you have to share files for collaboration.

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 is a great tool for pretty much any situation a list is needed in. It is great for personal use, in the home, or in the office. It is also great for a team to use to track progress on projects, etc. I would see this tool potentially not being as useful for a huge company where hundreds of projects are shared across many departments. However, for the average team and small company, Wunderlist would be more than enough.

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 for keeping organized and accomplishing day-to-day tasks. It's great for prioritizing and creating goal lists. It's great for even those who just use it for grocery shopping and using it for simple food recipes even.

It's probably less appropriate for multiple parties who have the option of deleting the list within one click. As mentioned before several important things could be lost.

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.
I love it primarily for family shopping lists (both my wife and I have the app). It syncs in the cloud and we both see a live version of the list. This is very helpful; once, we were shopping at the exact same time at different stores. It actually prevented us from both buying the same things because I was seeing live updates as she was checking off items and vice-versa.
On the business use side, I could definitely see this as a platform for team to-do lists or a place where a team can brainstorm and collect little ideas. The simplicity of the interface makes it easy to use for all kinds of lists.

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.
Wunderlist is well suited for anyone that wants to stay on task for a project in their life. Something as simple as keeping a grocery list organized between a couple is made even simpler with Wunderlist. I'd say it's less appropriate for projects that require a large amount of tracking detail.

I use it as a business owner to keep on top of tasks that I need to take care of. Adding a task to Wunderlist (and then integrating into my Google Calendar) puts the task in quick access and always keeps it where I can be sure to not overlook it. I find this to be extremely helpful as if I had to always refer to Wunderlist directly, I would not do it as often as I look at my calendar.
  • Task sent to the calendar.
  • Sends reminders daily and per task quickly and easily.
  • Easy and intuitive interface that allows you to quickly add your task without having to worry about figuring out how to navigate the tool.
  • Having an intuitive "smart" feature so if we put a task that says Wednesday at 9 a.m. it automatically adds that day/time.
  • It would be nice also if there were the option to add more details when you are first creating the list item instead of having to create it and then update the details for any associated files or notes.
Wunderlist is great when you want to just quickly create a new list item and group those lists into a matching category. This helps in creating a full list of tasks required in order to complete a project. Since it seems to lack the ability to add more detail easily when first creating the list item you sometimes have to create your listed items and then return to the list to add additional notes and details.

We currently use Wunderlist to keep tabs on different departments in real time. Each person adds items that are needed from various stores. We also add tasks related to departments and are able to see who completes the item in the list. It is miraculous to be at a store and simultaneously see a new or already purchased item so we don't duplicate work and make sure we have what is needed asap. It keeps everyone in the loop.
  • Create lists and place them in categories. If you need more than one list for an organization or department that can help a lot with simplicity.
  • Synchronization of lists with others. You are able to add people to any list and they can see exactly what is there. Seamless.
  • Easy interface, user friendly. It doesn't take a bunch of tutorial videos to learn to use.
  • Would love if you could connect Wunderlist to Google Tasks, that integration would be lovely.
  • Would also love a progress bar for something you might be working on so it could be also used as a task identifier and tracker.
  • Would love if there was a public link to share a particular list so you could post on social media, email, or text; this way, people could choose a list item or help fill the list items for you one time but you don't have to share the list with people permanently.
Wunderlist is well-suited:
  • When you are packing.
  • When sharing purchasing needs with multiple people in organization. It helps the person shopping know what everyone needs.
  • When creating tasks for a group of people but not assigned specifically - it's really who is able to complete it first.

We use Wunderlist to help track tasks that need to be completed. These tasks are sort of a daily scheduling tool to track things that are on a running to-do list. Helps to stay organized and be reminded of pending tasks.
  • Wunderlist works great as a daily to-do scheduler. I have made categories for tasks based on days of the week. Things that aren't accomplished on Monday's list can be shifted into Tuesday's list. This means you can stay on top of the entirety of tasks to be accomplished.
  • Wunderlist syncs with the mobile app so you can create and complete tasks on the go. This is helpful to stay organized.
  • Wunderlist has a good depth of task customizability. You can tag tasks that are similar, as well as add due dates to them. Notes can also be taken, and you can add files to tasks.
  • Wunderlist is simple to learn and requires zero training. For smaller projects it's an ideal workflow.
  • Wunderlist works best as a single-user tool. You can add other users to lists, but it's not a great multi-user project managing software. It doesn't organize itself in a way that, even from a UI standpoint, makes sense for project management on a larger scope.
  • Wunderlist lacks a calendar feature to help plan ahead, furthering its use for smaller projects, or single-user interface.
Wunderlist is best for single-user or small projects requiring input and management of only 1-3 users. Projects larger in scope likely need a big interface. It works extremely well for planning a daily to-do list for personal use. I've found it essential in keeping track of what little items I need to knock off the list each day, but it's not so good for plotting lots of bigger tasks.

This is our favorite to-do app! Our entire team uses it. Although we're using other project management tools in order to run our business, Wunderlist is used for small tasks that would fall through the cracks without it. For example, action items from meetings, quick tasks that come up during the day etc.
  • Segmenting your to-do's in separate lists
  • Having notes with each to-do
  • It has notifications feature as well as due date
  • I'd love to see integrations between Wunderlist and tools like Slack or Drive
It's such a simple and effective tool! If you need an app to safely store your To-do's and make sure you stay on top of things, this is it. You can divide tasks lists into folders (like "home" and "business"), share the lists with co-workers, set notifications, even mark items as a priority. It's great for smaller, day-to-day tasks but if you need something to manage a bigger project or a team, you should look into more robust project management tools. Although this is a great app, it cannot replace tools like TeamWork, Basecamp etc. But they work great together!

My training department uses Wunderlist to organize our developed, developing, and prospective training projects from beginning to end. We are able to manage client communication, collaborative training building, and research. Wunderlist allows us to share across accounts and devices, from PCs to smartphones, making it accessible at work and off-site at trainings or in other places. Prior to using Wunderlist, we relied on Excel spreadsheets that were hard to keep up-to-date.
  • Uploading and saving documents related to project management
  • Sharing across accounts and platforms
  • Integration with calendar and other applications
  • Better interface for viewing subtasks
  • Better communication between users
Wunderlist is great for managing large projects across a team, managing complex tasks, and organizing tasks across a team. It is less suited for individuals, smaller projects, or projects that require unique software file uploads (like ArcGIS, Emme, SPSS, etc). But for projects built in common software programs, this is a great solution.

I started to use Wunderlist on my own to help organize our estimating and project management initiatives.
  • Integrates with Microsoft Outlook
  • User friendly platform
  • Format is easy to read and understand
  • I'd like to see more project management style functionality, it's almost there.
  • More intergrations
I've tried using it, but unless I force the rest of my team to adopt it, I didn't find it very useful.

I use Wunderlist primarily for personal to-do management, but have used it for work related tasks in the past. When used for work, I use it primarily individually to manage my own personal tasks, not project work. Typically project work gets captured in a project management tool. Wunderlist is great for the small tasks that don't end up on a team tool.
  • Building categorized to-do lists, shared to-do lists (e.g., with a spouse or family).
  • Extremely well done user interface. It does all the key things I want from a to-do app, and nothing that gets in your way.
  • Great integrations with other productivity apps (email, calendar, etc).
  • Honestly, there is very little that feels missing or that could be improved. It does everything that I want it to.
As long as you are looking to manage your own personal tasks, Wunderlist is perfect. It also works quite well if you want to share some tasks with a few other family members or colleagues. It seems to work less well for "project" work or larger groups (although I admit I haven't really tried that).

I use Wunderlist to track things like shopping lists, books I want to read, movies I want to watch, house chores, and so on. I have also used it to implement the GTD system - and it works perfectly for that.

Our Marketing department uses Wunderlist to keep track of our individual tasks, as well as our department tasks, conference tasks, etc. There are so many different areas that the marketing team has input and tasks for that we need a solidified way to keep everything organized, assign due dates, and see what tasks other members are completing at different times.
  • Lots of customization abilities.
  • Due dates.
  • Reminders can be set.
  • Invite many more users and gain access to their lists.
  • Ability to change font styles (this is very minor).
  • Ability to sync with Google Sheets, Drive, etc.
For conference planning, Wunderlist is great at listing out all of the variety of tasks we have, the deadlines that certain items are due by, and assigning tasks to different team members. Each conference has so many different parts to plan and organize, and Wunderlist is great at keeping an entire team on the same page, and hosting different links and pieces of information.

Wunderlist is primarily used as a fill in the gap product. We're pretty agnostic when it comes to note taking apps, but use JIRA exclusively for project management. That means there's a gap between note taking apps like Evernote and JIRA since JIRA is such an extremely heavy application. Wunderlist has helped as a quick and lightweight personal task management and reminder app for those who use it!
  • Lightweight and extremely easy to use
  • Connects well with IFTTT to act as a go between for many other apps
  • Robust feature set in the free version, and even more in paid
  • Team sharing isn't as powerful as it could be
  • The Apple Watch app is not really useful at all
  • No labeling on tasks once entered - would be helpful for sorting
Wunderlist is great as a quick, lightweight app for task management and shorthand notes. It serves as a great way to capture a thought, and create a task or note out of it in an intuitive and easy way. Compared to a note taking app where you have to open the app, create a new note, then add content, having a quick add hot key for Wunderlist makes capturing a thought easy and intuitive on the fly. And while JIRA is great for project management, it is anything but simple to use for menial reminders and tasks, which is where Wunderlist shines.

I use Wunderlist, mostly for personal tracking. I do use it to track projects and to-do's for work, but use it lots more for personal to-do lists and shopping lists. I keep an ongoing grocery list and star items I need, then un-star them when I've purchased them -- keeps me from having to enter the same item over and over. Do the same for packing lists.
  • Use across multiple devices
  • Share your list with others
  • Easily organize multiple types of lists or categories
  • I'd like for starred items to rise to the top (which they do), but then to return to alpha order when I unstar them. Not a big deal, though. When it gets messy I simply resort the list alphabetically and then unstar-restar those items I want at the top of the list again.
I really don't know of anything more I could ask for from my to-do list and shopping lists. I don't use it for project management enough to comment, really.

I have been using the Wunderlist to-do application for the past five years, It's the finest to-do application for organizing via your PC or mobile device, and organizing your day to day business and personal life. In my experience using the Android and Windows Desktop application of Wunderlist (now using Wunderlist application for Windows 10), is the best companion for listing and organizing all personal and business operations. You can organize your schedules as a list or normal text and set reminders as a task. You can create folders to your list and categories; share your notes or list with others and communicate with them and sync your notes and tasks with multiple devices, add reminders in to-do list to make sure [you don’t] forget your tasks. You can get important to-do updates via email or mobile app push notifications, set due dates to your important tasks so schedules are never missed, add notes and share your ideas with others, save anything from the web to Wunderlist for future reading and reference, organize your content with hashtags for searching your tasks NS easily print your notes in one easy click action. Wunderlist is available for all important platforms like Mac, Android, iPhone, Android Tablet, iPad, Browser Apps, Apple Watch, Windows Phone and Desktop, and for Chromebox also. I have had wonderful working experiences with Wunderlist's tools it's working so accurately and easily. Try Wunderlist yourself and feel the better task managing app ever made.
  • Very Simple To Use
  • Free Version Contains All Major Work Tools
  • Wunderlist Available For All Major Device Platforms
  • Perfect Email And Push Notification Sysytem
  • No Integration With Google Drive And Evernote
  • No Realtime GPS Notes And Location Sharing Tools

Its basic free version is enough for your all schedules and tasks. No need to buy its pro version if you are satisfied Wunderlist's free version.
