Microsoft Lists is a great app for creating lists

I use it to keep track of a number of items. I keep a list of gift ideas for my wife on there too. Any time she mentions she likes or wants something I jot it down.

PROS

I like how easy to Android app is to use. It's fast too. I create all sorts of lists. I keep a list of blog ideas. Anytime I think of an idea for an article I open the app, jot down a quick note and move on with my life.

CONS

It's a simple app that does its job well.

Reason for choosing Microsoft Lists

It came with Microsoft 365.

Pro's and Con's of Microsoft Lists

We use it both to track our progress and to-do's, and as a database of the items we developed. The list and kanban view are really useful but it lacks variety of views

PROS

It is easy to set up and allows you to share your progress with your team seamlessly

CONS

Its capabilities, compared to otheralternatives in the market are limited. Setting reminders is a whole task by itself.

Task managment tool integrated with Microsoft ecosystem

Familiar design fit perfectly with other Microsoft tools like Teams and with app it is available everywhere but still missing some features and templates.

Microsoft Lists : A sleek, responsive app experience

Microsoft Lists is centred around collaborating with list items over an extended duration of time.

PROS

Microsoft Lists is a straightforward, clever, and adaptable method to organise your job and manage all the data that is particularly important to your company.

CONS

One of the downsides of Microsoft Lists is customising Lists with extensive fields and information might require extra time and knowledge, particularly in sophisticated circumstances.

A more advanced spreadsheet

I view Lists as an expanded spreadsheet. It's a communication tool with additional file storage. It's definitely a better spreadsheet

PROS

My favorite thing about Lists is how easy it is to start. You can set up a new list from an existing spreadsheet with a single click. Other nice features include integration with an address book and the ability to easily access other documents from within the List.

CONS

It's pretty easy to do basic things, but to do advanced features some level of coding is necessary. And the online resources aren't very helpful for learning those things.

Bug tracking system set up in seconds

I needed a way to easily deplori a solution among colleagues to track the bugs in an application I wrote, and Lists offered me just that. The integration in Teams made it possible to have a unified solution ready in seconds.

PROS

Integration within the Office suite, especially Teams

CONS

Not as flexible as other products, but it's still a good solution for basic use cases.
