The to do app

Overall experience was very good with this.

PROS

Microsoft to do comes with a clean and minimalistic user interface. It has widgets that are very helpful. The todos are directly backed up to your drive account so that they can be accessed anywhere and anytime easily on any device.

CONS

The only thing that i dislike about this is that the widgets are not customisable.

Reasons for switching to Microsoft To Do

The main thing was notion was also easily accessible on any device and the capabilities it was providing was top notch. Also the templates in notion are also very cool.

Succeeds by simplicity--and Microsoft integrations

I use To Do to manage my own to-dos, including those assigned to me in any of the various Planner Plans I am part of.

PROS

Within the To Do pane, I can manage my own lists as well as Planner tasks that have been assigned to me. It's a more flexible interface than Planner, and provides a lighter, more mobile-friendly task experience. Further, To Do's My Day planning approach is simple but brilliant: start every day with a blank slate.

CONS

To Do doesn't do much natural language processing. The web app has been slow and difficult to use for years. To Do doesn't bring many high-bore features, such as Gantt charting, but it doesn't need to.

Reason for choosing Microsoft To Do

Wrike and Freedcamp were, in their own ways, more complicated and less integrated than To Do.

Reasons for switching to Microsoft To Do

I love Teamwork! But it cost more than the (free) To Do, and it didn't integrate with Planner, a tool that we were beginning to adopt in the org.

Microsoft To Do makes life easy

Microsoft To Do offers a streamlined task management experience across devices. Its clean interface, smart lists, and integration with Microsoft 365 make it efficient for organizing tasks, setting reminders, and collaborating with others. However, advanced features may be lacking for power users compared to some competitors. Overall, it’s user-friendly and reliable.

PROS

Can do all task in one place.Additionally paste hyperlinks and any URLs in the task.

CONS

Cant edit hyperlink and also Limited number of third party configurations.

A neat solution, though far from perfect

Although it's quite an elegant solution overall (Microsoft has partnered with Wunderlist, so they must have seen something in it), it has a bit too many quirks and design flaws for my taste. All the basic functionality is there, the synchronization works seamlessly, and the app is visually appealing, but I wouldn't describe the whole experience with the interface as very smooth or extremely intuitive.

PROS

It's clean and simple, syncs quite well across devices (web interface and apps available, with widgets and even a browser add-on), and has some basic GTD functionality (though far from a complete solution).

CONS

Editing tasks is a bit of a nuisance because you have to double click on a task to access its data. Even editing a task name is a bit of a faff. Also, dragging tasks is not hassle-free, e.g. you have to grab the left edge of the task strip (which is not indicated visually except by a "hand" once you're actually hovering on the edge), but when you are in the Today list, although the hand appears as well, the tasks are not draggable for some reason (I struggled quite a lot with this, thinking this was a bug, but apparently it's by design - albeit very poor design, in my view). What I also find very annoying is that when I type in a link in a task description, it is converted to an actual link that works only until you click it, after which (once the target url is opened) it becomes just text and you have to click in some blank area to make it clickable again. It's all a bit inconsistent: you can drag tasks to other lists, but you can't drag a list to another folder; you have to right-click and "move to". All in all, it doesn't make for a very smooth experience.

Reasons for switching to Microsoft To Do

It's hard to find a good implementation of GTD (Getting Things Done), or just a good todo/productivity app that is intuitive, has all the essential features, and has fully synced versions for all platforms and devices.
