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
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.

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

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.

- 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.

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 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.

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 perfect for quick and easy reminders
We use Wunderlist as a reminder system for nonessential work products. It helps remove some of the administrative tasks from our main input system and sets up something separate and easier to use for mundane tasks. We use it all together as an organization. We all have access to it.
- Inputting entries - It is very straightforward to enter data.
- Categories - Very easy to add categories.
- Easy to maneuver data inside the app.
- Notifications could be improved - Sometimes they are missed.
- The homepage should be able to be custom.
- Some more options for integration.

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.

great simple app!
We decided to use Wunderlist as a way for our company to collaborate on current projects and streamline communication. It makes it easy to manage deadlines and group projects as well as people involved in tasks
- Simplicity of use
- Project process and visibility of progress
- communication between users

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.

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.
