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.
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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

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 is my necessary sidekick
I use Wunderlist to keep track of both large and small tasks. For a long time, I kept my trusty notepad with a running list of to-do's, ready to jot down new items as they were thrown at me. That system had a number of fail points. Wunderlist allows me to have my list available no matter where I am. I have also used it to share lists with other users to keep projects in sync and everyone on the same page with what needs to be done.
- Wunderlist is great for organizing tasks. The ability to create lists of lists, assign due dates, reminders, repeating tasks, etc makes Wunderlist very valuable.
- Wunderlist is full featured, but very intuitive. For being so very capable, it's not complicated.
- Having my Wunderlist content available via the desktop app, mobile app, or the web is a life-saver.
- I am not sure what the future holds for Wunderlist. Microsoft purchased Wunderlist a few years ago and, while it's still around, there have been plans to shut it down or replace it with a new Microsoft branded solution.
- A competitor "Things 3" has a nice category called "Anytime" which moves things out of the inbox, but doesn't give them a due date. This is a nice area I wish Wunderlist had. There are a number of tasks I would like to get to when I have spare time, and this is a great way to handle that.
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.

When lists are your jam, Wunderlist is your best Friend
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.

Review: Wunderlist
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.

Great tool to make sure you get everything done!
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
Wunderlist is being used by myself to help keep things organized. Its used to make sure tasks that need to be done get done on time. With so much to do on a daily basis new items come in that can push out older items leaving to things being forgotten about. Wunderlist is being used to help with that issue.
- Tracking of to do items with deadlines and reminders
- Sync across all my devices and computers so no matter where I am I have my list.
- Ability to create different lists to separate to do items
- Interface can feel dated
- Customize background I want to clean it up

Wunderlist: A wonderful way to organize and manage projects
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
