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.

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

To Do: Great for emails, Bad for Complexity
To Do is great for creating a list of emails that need actions taken or require additional follow up, however any complex tasks are not managed efficiently.
Pros
I liked the integration with outlook - This makes the creation of tasks easy and quick.
Cons
Lack of complexity with regard to tasks is the worst part of To Do. Leaving notes on the action items is fine but updating notes, changing schedule and the history of To Do item changes is not recorded or easy to manage.

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.

Familiar brand and great integration with other apps I already use including Outlook. Ability to schedule tasks from with email is amazing!

If you are not using To Do you are missing out
To me the most important feature is the due date. If you use that, it will automatically add to the My Day section, and you can see when it is overdue in the Tasks section. That makes it very easy not to lose track of priorities.
Pros
This is one of Microsoft's most underappreciated apps. I use it to drive my priorities every day and week. It has great features for recurring tasks, due dates, reminders, integrations, sharing with teammates, steps, notes, separate buckets - it is great!
Cons
Since there are so many ways it can be used, it has taken me a while to figure out how to most efficiently use it for my purpose. Users need to invest the time to get used to it and try different methods until they find what works best for them.
