My experience with Microsoft To Do

Great and intuitive experience while using Microsoft To Do

Pros

Its most fascinating feature of Microsoft To Do is its cross-platform availability and user-friendly interface. Since I have an iOS mobile phone and a Windows laptop, it makes it easy to add and refer to my notes in my to-do list.

Cons

The thing that disheartens me, is that it is only available while I am online. That is, if in any case, I get disconnected to internet, it stops responding.

Share Quickly

This app does improve my efficiency throughout the day. I can quickly run through my schedule and tasks. I don't struggle to find lists and I can share straight from the app.

Pros

The app is fast and I was surprised by how well it works regardless of the device OS. I often use it on my phone and laptop, plus my coworkers can all use it as well. I like using To Do tasks and reminders because I can quickly write it up and send a copy to coworkers. The block style organization feels very efficient to me. My screen is easy to look at and I know what to expect when I open the app. I usually tap "My Day" to see what I have planned for that particular day. I like the ability to add attachments and steps, plus grouping tasks in lists.
Ability to choose a custom theme doesn't hurt. Also, it's free! No charges at any time.

Cons

Natural language input is something that is lacking and noticeably so. There is no paid version with more features to upgrade to if you'd like. What you see is what's available..
As I mentioned before, I like the organization but I wanted to slightly adjust the filter/view and it turns out that is not an option. It would be helpful to isolate items approaching their due date or even past due.

Asana

Reasons for Choosing Microsoft To Do

It simply was not very easy to use and it was a paid subscription vs the free app here.

Reasons for Switching to Microsoft To Do

Microsoft To Do is free and easy to implement without the need for everyone to learn how to use it. It is simple and straightforward. Asana on the other hand is more complex and wouldn't have been as easy. Thats why I made the decision.

Good Alternative to Built-In App To Do App

Great to do list app. It has replaced the native Apple To Do list app for me.

Pros

Like the integration with Outlook and native apps on Mac and iOS.

Cons

Organizing tasks into separate project is difficult and not obvious how to move a task from one project to another. Not a problem if you manage everything in one global "To Do" list, but a pain if you want to organize them manually.

Microsoft To Do - a great companion

Microsoft To Do is an easy to use task and note management app that helps me organize my day-to-day activities. The notes and lists are easy to create and share with coworkers and even family for a better coordination. As I am already in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem it works very good with all other apps I use.

Pros

One of the best feature that I use daily is the fact that it syntonize seamless with Outlook making it easy to manage my emails and tasks from one place. Microsoft To Do is easy to use and is available on all platforms, smartphone and desktop PC witch make it very versatile and easy to use.

Cons

There is nothing to like less from my point of view, everything works for me as it should be.

Keepin it together....

ive used microsoft to do for years now, and microsoft never lets me down. im very OCD, and create new lists for everything. from business, personal, my kids, home life, and shopping lists, microsoft doesnt let me down. i have never found a free software that i stuck with the way i have with Microsoft. Thank you Microsoft!

Pros

simple, easy to use, a hundred percent free, works well with all my other microsoft apps, integrates well with other software, and can access from my phone, desktop, or tablet which is a plus for me.

Cons

not ideal for larger projects, limited features, but offers everything you need to create a basic list.

a simple yet powerful task manager for those fully invested in Microsoft ecosystem.

Microsoft To Do is a very effective task manager which is highly recommended for its full compatibility with the Microsoft ecosystem.

Pros

Microsoft To Do allows you to type tasks from WhatsApp, which is great if you want to input information quickly. It is also backed by Microsoft and has excellent integration with their other productivity products like Teams, Outlook or Planner.
Another key advantage is that Microsoft To Do is free for all Microsoft accounts, not only Microsoft 365 users.

Cons

Maybe the main con is that it is too lightweight for serious project tracking, but then again, Microsoft has Planner and Microsoft Project for more robust needs.

Straightforward & easy to tailor

A clean, reliable tool that I use every day to keep track of tasks & ideas - refreshingly simple (a to do list doesn't need to be any more complex than this...)

Pros

Straightforward & easy to tailor with multiple lists for different areas & levels of priority (including deadlines)

Cons

The backgrounds are rather predictable, but I'll live!

My Experience with MICROSOFT TO DO

Microsoft To Do is great for managing tasks, especially if you already use other Microsoft apps. It's easy to use, helps keep things organized, and works well for sharing tasks with others. However, it doesn't have some advanced features and can sometimes be slow or have inconsistent notifications. You need a Microsoft account to use it, and some features vary between platforms. Despite these issues, it's a good tool for staying on top of your tasks.

Pros

The strong task organization capabilities of Microsoft To Do, including as lists, due dates, reminders, and tags, as well as its easy interaction with other Microsoft services, have earned it accolades from users. Sharing tasks and lists promotes teamwork, and the "My Day" function aids in keeping attention on daily priorities. It is an effective and multiplatform task management solution that allows for offline access, subtask support, customized themes, seamless integration with Microsoft 365, and availability across several platforms.

Cons

Microsoft To Do's drawbacks include its lack of sophisticated capabilities, limitations on customization, sporadic performance problems, irregular notifications, and a learning curve for novice users. Gantt charts and other project management tools are absent, and there is little integration with non-Microsoft services. It requires a Microsoft account and has been known to cause synchronization problems and offline functionality according to certain users. Furthermore, different platforms may not all have the same features available.

Simple tool but lacks prioritization tools

It's a good tool in theory but in practice, it for some reason does not work for me that well. The very thing that is probably its strong suit - that you remember every single task you have written down - is what makes it lose its value for me. For me, less important small undone tasks clutter the list so much that I have to delete it all and start from scratch if I want to be abel to make sense of it at all and see my priorities, not a cluster of minor tasks.

Pros

Simple to use and log tasks quickly. Good integration with Outlook, easy to see tasks in the Outlook sidebar.

Cons

Not too much control about task management. I tend to update the task list when I have a lot of tasks to manage at once, and when they get done they tend to pile up and once the list inevitably gets out of date, I stop looking at it as frequently.

Another life saver program

So wonderful I can’t think of anything negative to say at all

Pros

I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have this program/app in my life! I am sure I would be a lot less organized and more stressed out! I write my lists of tasks for the day every day for myself and then I also have wrote the to-dos for my kids! It’s great and so very helpful

Cons

The fact that I didn’t find this sooner than I did! Wish I had this in my life a lot sooner!

Minimal todo task manager.

Microsoft To Do has made my mind a less cluttered place as I have all my daily tasks in the same place and stay on track. It's a straightforward solution for tracking my tasks and avoiding dropped balls.

Pros

Microsoft To Do organizes my personal tasks inside a minimalistic UI that is simple. I love how simple it is to make lists, schedule due dates, and reminders. Outlook integration and the fact that is a Microsoft product to connect with my other apps.

Cons

It does not offer the advanced features and flexibility of other to-do list apps, so that may dissuade some users from using it.

I use this daily as a checklist of tsk to complete and what has ben completed. I love the sound it makes when an item has been check marked. You can also add other employee task to do, and share it across devices.

Pros

To Do keeps me on track. I don't forget to do my weekly task and can add extra task anytime for reminders.

Cons

I love everything about To Do. I would not change anything.

Stay organised with To Do

I love To Do and use it every day for teams that I am part of, as well as managing my own daily tasks and reminders.

Pros

Super easy to use and perfect for collaborative task management. The ability to bolt onto Teams as an app is also a real advantage too, minimising the need to utilise multiple systems simultaneously.

Cons

No obvious flaws for me… It’s appeal is in its simplicity, so the inclusion of additional features may not be a good thing!

I Love it, it syncs with Outlook Tasks, seamlessly integrates with Outlook Tasks, and makes it convenient if you use Outlook, helpful with managing simple tasks and creating working lists.
the most important - it is free

I would suggest to add the option for priority rating for each task and some detail information to subtasks.
Very basic compared to other task management tools.
