Microsoft To Do

Formerly Wunderlist

Microsoft To-Do simply put just does to-do lists very well. I don't want the visual components of software like Trello or ClickUp, and I had used Asana in previous roles and just found it to have too much going on. I also didn't like the notification system of Asana, constantly getting the most random emails about projects I was only slightly involved in. I tried the free trial of ClickUp and found it to be too overwhelming. I just wanted to have large groups for personal life, work, and business, then be able to have projects and goals underneath them, and plan tasks that meet that goal. Microsoft To-Do is a solid, simple product that gives me everything I need from a planning perspective.

The simplicity of to do beats every other service. Of course, it can’t be used for tracking complex projects that require workflow automation, etc. For what it is designed for the app does the work brilliantly and helps to stay on top. It’s best suited for personal projects with light collaboration.

I am a fan of to-do lists. Previously they were all pen and paper though, which is fine for chores but not so much when you consistently receive emails and chat messages with various tasks mentioned in there. To Do helps keeping track of them.

The main alternative that I've used is Todoist. Todoist is better at auto-detecting dates and tags, and I found it easier to assign items to other people using Todoist. I think the big benefit that Microsoft To Do has is that it is more integrated into existing Microsoft workflows and apps that will be an important part of some people's routines.

The biggest selling point of Microsoft To Do is that it's free. We were able to jump in and start learning it without having to worry about making up for the cost of the software. We liked the idea of using all Microsoft products in hopes of some of our older employees being able to pick up the software quickly.

Its the only tool I use to manage my to dos and daily tasks

I selected MS To-Do because is easy to use, has a pretty UI and in my organization is free to use. Amazing to schedule your work, meetings, to-do list, prioritize task, etc, but is not like other software like Evernote that have more functionalities like a diagram, assign/change date and share with others.

To be honest, I loved Wunderlist, and so just moved over to Microsoft To Do out of inertia. Also Trello is more Kanban than a to-do list, so not exactly what we needed. Todoist might be more what we need, but we were already using Wunderlist, so we didn't want to take the time to learn another app. Given that Microsoft To Do (formerly Wunderlist) hasn't implement many of the features people are asking for, we might have to switch at some point.

I prefer Microsoft To Do because of it's amazing app. It seamlessly integrates with mobile so if you're on the go or need to set a reminder, you can very easily take care of it.

Microsoft Project is well-suited for complex project management. In this area, it beats Wunderlist. However, for simple task management, Wunderlist is a "rock-star" application.

Wunderlist integrates more smoothly on both Mac and iPhone—the setup is so similar on both it makes it far more efficient to work with.

Compared to in-built apps from Microsoft or Apple, Wunderlist is far better. It is incredibly hard to collaborate on both Outlook, Gmail, or Apple calendar/reminders. I wouldn't suggest any of those for team projects. Additionally, Wunderlist allows me to separate your work and create folders, helping me to maintain a better work-life balance since I do a lot of work from my personal computer as a designer!

Wunderlist is overly simplistic and a bit outdated compared to competing tools. Trello and Microsoft To-Dos and Planner accomplish the same things better.

I started using Wunderlist purely to keep track of my to-dos and organize my time around the general tasks I have to complete. Attempts I have made to extend Wunderlist into project management or other broader tasks have been largely unsuccessful because it feels like there are better solutions out there.

Both Trello and Remember the Milk offer their own value in managing tasks and projects. Wunderlist is the best simple task manager I've come across in that it focuses on the critical features you'd want in a task manager - great interface, ease of use, and accessible anywhere. Trello is more suited for larger projects that require more detail and metadata for tracking in a more Kanban-like approach, and Remember the Milk has lots of great features but it can be easy to get bogged down in the details. Wunderlist offers a clean, lightweight interface and feature set that just works and makes task management a breeze.

Tried Google Tasks, and Microsoft To-Do (before its integration with Wunderlist) and they didn't quite serve the purpose we were looking for.

Wunderlist was a good starting point, but we now use Todoist, and I definitely wouldn't look back. It is more complicated, but with that comes much more control than you get in Wunderlist - rather than simple search tags you have filters that can run across projects, human speech recognition is great for due dates. Multiple priority levels make a huge difference where Wunderlist has a "star" for high priority.

I have tried numerous programs in the past, this one, in particular, has an easy interface and almost anyone can use it. One of the most recent programs we have tried is Microsoft To-Do and it does not even compare. We have created access databases specific to do this type of work, but this program is much better. Wunderlist beats them all hands down.

Any.do had a nicer interface but was not as easy to use as Wunderlist.

It is more simple, direct, and easy to manage. Also, the price point is much less than most, if not all CRM's on the market.

While I have tried a number of other to-do lists, Wunderlist is easy to use and free. Most other to-do lists that I have tried I have used for a day or two and the have deleted and returned to Wunderlist. Part of it is that I am used to this tool, but I think it is also just the simplicity of the tool. Especially after development was discontinued for Wunderlist I have looked at many other tools, but still, I ended up returning to Wunderlist.

I think they merged or something—I don’t remember—but it was not as easy as this one was. We love that it is simple and easy.

Not available, this is the first task management app we have tried so far. Slack is the closest thing we have.
