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.
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.

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.

The best to-do list features for the price
I mostly use it to manage my personal tasks. I have them organized according to lists and then folders. Because Wunderlist’s web app is seamlessly integrated with Time Doctor (our own time tracking software), it greatly helps me monitor and improve my workflow.
- Cross-platform app. Can be used on a mobile or desktop device.
- Has all the essential features of a to-do list app.
- Sub-tasks and folders.
- Collaboration.
- Their Chrome extension could use a little more updated.
- No support for the product anymore since the Microsoft purchased it.

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

Easy task management for mobile users on the go
Wunderlist is a wonderful checklist app that helps our organization stay organized through shared lists and resources. Our project managers can assign out tasks and this app lets deadlines and reminders be set. Since we implemented this software we can communicate to other employees with push reminders and projects are no longer falling behind because of a missed action item.
- Multi-user checklist communication
- Push mobile notifications
- Clean interface and easy to learn style
- I instinctually push the Plus button to start a new list but instead, it pulls up just a task. To start a new list the user must scroll to the bottom of their lists.
- Additional "help" or tutorial information.
- More social media connection capabilities.
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

Wunderlist is one of the best to-do list apps I have ever seen. I like it a lot and highly recommend it.
I personally use Wunderlist and have been an active user for around 4 years. It's the only to-do list app that really helps me complete my tasks, both professional and personal. It's very easy-to-use and you can sync between all your devices - Macbook, iPhone, iPad and so on. I love how simple and also flexible it is.
- Creating different lists and tasks, both for personal and professional purposes. It's very easy and also gives a lot of options when creating a task.
- Setting up due dates and reminders. It helps me complete my tasks.
- Wunderlist design and overall user experience is great, I love it.
- Maybe would be great to add some integrations - e.g. with Trello, Slack and other similar tools which can boost the value of Wunderlist even more.

Wunderlist | The Best At Task Management
I currently use Wunderlist to help me manage tasks, both repeating and unique. My department is the primary user of this application but it has been used to some degree by a few other departmental leaders as needed. It has been very helpful in working with my team to have a way to clearly list our tasks, while also assigning somebody to the task and a time when it is due. It has been very helpful to be able to attach files, leave comments, add sub-tasks, and have a section under each task for notes. The primary problems it addresses is lack of clarity on tasks (knowing due dates and person responsible) and cutting down the number of on-going email threads. Specifically, with the latter, it's been great to have the ability to have conversations within each task under comments with users and not have to go through the process of finding the proper email thread.
- Clarity on needed tasks to be done.
- Clarity on who is being assigned to each task.
- Clarity on the time frame each task is due.
- The ability to add additional steps under each task with sub-tasks.
- Viewing more than one task at a time.
- Email forwarding tasks - sometimes can be buggy and not always smooth.
- Option to show more detail on a task without clicking task - example: being able to see attachment without clicking on task to view.
Wunderlist is a great app to manage tasks. In particular, in our company, it's used to assign tasks to employees among the different ongoing projects. The ease of use and simple interphase makes it a great app to fastly know what's the next thing you need to achieve. It really helped us to prevent the overlap of more than one person doing the same thing and to cover all the tasks that are needed to be done on time.
- It's great to separate tasks in different subjects.
- Having "sub-tasks" in every project is a great feature.
- It's really easy to use and to set deadlines, and also to share with other people.
- It has different ways to arrange the lists of tasks which is a more useful feature than what it might seem.
- Even though the UI is simple, I think it has room for improvement to get a little more modern.
- It would be great if you could expand the tasks to see the subtasks it has.
