So while I can import lists from Wunderlist, I can’t continue to share them with my wife. The first one is that when signing in with a Microsoft Account for personal use – there is simply no sharing option. So with Microsoft To-Do to replace Wunderlist I went out and installed it, and straight away noticed a few issues I wouldn’t have expected to be there when compared to other previews Microsoft has released. This is where one of the challenges with Planner comes in as people want to use the Kanban-style interface to visualise and manage their personal task list (more on that in a post soon). While Wunderlist works will in the personal context, it doesn’t integrate with any work services such as Office 365. Microsoft even refers to Wunderlist as the go-to app for personal task management. I use the Wunderlist app for my personal life, sharing lists with my wife for things such as groceries. This app will eventually supersede the Wunderlist app that Microsoft purchased almost two years ago. But there is a long way to go is Microsoft expects it to ever reach the level of Wunderlist or Todist.Microsoft this morning announced their new “Microsoft To-Do” app available for public preview on all mobile platforms and the web.
Like Wunderlist, the design and navigation are top-notch, and the intelligent suggestions could very well turn into an awesome feature. The app is incredibly basic at the moment, with the most rudimentary of features for a task manager, but it’s still worth a download to check it out. The impact on you at home: Microsoft To-Do is clearly just a start. In the meantime, Wunderlist will continue to exist, and Microsoft promises to add “more of the favorite elements of Wunderlist into the To-Do experience,” adding list sharing, and bringing support for the Mac, iPad and Android tablets. The preview version of the app is available on the web, as well as iOS, Android, and Windows 10 devices, with the final version arriving later this year. Microsoft also has made security a top priority in To-Do, with end-to-end encryption.
Notably missing from To-Do (along with any pro-level features) is integration with Office 365, but Microsoft says it will be added in the coming months, starting with Outlook.
