Overall Satisfaction with Wunderlist

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.
  • I've used it primarily as a personal task manager. It is great for capturing "stuff that falls through the cracks" of traditional business work management. It has definitely increased my personal productivity, but can't really assess its overall effect on business.
I have tried a number of task managers over the years. Remember the Milk, todoist, Google Tasks, Outlook tasks and so on. Wunderlist has THE BEST user experience and flexibility. Email integrations make it powerful and flexible. Everything else I have used failed to some degree because it was too clunky and didn't have a seamless experience. A personal to-do app must be fast and flexible. Wunderlist kills it!
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.
