#WUNDERLIST REVIEW 2015 SERIES#

There’s really no reason you shouldn’t migrate over now. The truth is that, four years later, all of the features you loved about Wunderlist are finally all available in Microsoft To-Do. All of your assigned tasks will show up under the Assigned to Me menu item at the upper left of the main Microsoft To-Do window. Microsoft To-Do now offers this feature as well.Ĭollaboration on lists lets you assign and get assigned tasks. Sharing ListsĪnother advantage of Wunderlist was the ability to share and collaborate on specific lists by selecting the Share link at the top of the list. This is a good place to keep random information like a guide or links you may need to perform that task. Task NotesĪnother important Wunderlist feature that’s now available in Microsoft To-Do is the ability to select a task and add notes into a note field in the menu on the right. When finished, you’ll see a count of the tasks in the main task description (a feature lacking from Wunderlist). Hit enter to move to the next step and continue until done. Just select Add step and type the name of that step. Microsoft To-Do finally added this feature to the right menu when you select a task.

This is important because a few tasks you’ll have aren’t without some series of steps that you’ll need to work through to complete the task. Select Repeat to assign a recurring timeframe for that task.Īnother critical feature that Wunderlist offered was the ability to build subtasks inside of tasks. When you select a task, you’ll see a menu show up on the right with all of the task options. This was a major reason most users couldn’t possibly migrate over to Microsoft To-Do. The ability to repeat a task was surprisingly lacking from Microsoft To-Do in 2015. This appears and works exactly as the task folders did in Wunderlist. You’ll see that the list group includes a collapse icon so that when you’re not focused on working on tasks in that area of your life, you can collapse the group and keep them out of the way. Then you simply drag individual lists into that group. Microsoft To-Do now features a small button with a + icon in the corner that lets you create and name a new list group. Since many people have multiple areas of their life that they need to organize, the ability to group multiple lists together under a single label is critical. The ability to group lists into categories is one of the main reasons I personally avoided Microsoft To-Do in the early days. What are some of those critical features that Microsoft To-Do used to lack? 1. Microsoft To-Do development has advanced to the point where Wunderlist features are fully integrated, and there’s absolutely no pain for existing Wunderlist users to migrate over. Keep the team and focus on and no one will be angry for not shutting down /27mIABncLF Still sad wants to shut down even though people still love and use it. In September of 2019, Wunderlist Founder unofficially made an offer to Microsoft on Twitter to buy back Wunderlist. The bottom line is that the writing’s on the wall. Why Migrate From Wunderlist to Microsoft To-Do? It’ll also provide a better-looking interface and an easy-to-use companion mobile app.

And doing so for Wunderlist users will result in no major loss of features. Microsoft To-Do was like a poorly dressed-up version of Google Tasks, with barely any advanced features to speak of.įour years later, the Microsoft To-Do app is a cloud-based to-do list that’s actually worth switching to. Most of the critical features, like subtasks and lists, were completely absent. In 2015, Microsoft To-Do could not even be compared to Wunderlist.
