I think that there is potential for it if it can be paired with Planner, Loop and DevOps.

Pros

I liked that it would alert you if you had something that was vital to be completed, and it allowed me to set other teammates todos as well.

Cons

I really didn’t like that when I didn’t want to receive messages, it was cumbersome to turn off. It’s an all or nothing sort of thing.

We have had great experience with Microsoft To Do. It makes our company and people more efficient and improves productivity.

Pros

We use Microsoft To Do as it allows us to immediately assign tasks to people on or off our team. It tracks the progress so we do not have to constantly ask where we are on those tasks. It also allows us to prioritize tasks

Cons

We have not found any defects with Microsoft To Do.

An experience 10 out of 10 we have had greater productivity with the program in this sense it has been particularly interesting to work with it, the completion of tasks and task lists is easy to generate, we also love that since it is a Microsoft product it can have compatibility with Other products that we use from Microsoft such as Outlook and Microsoft Planner, Word, etc.

Pros

I love that when the program is opened it generates reminder notifications of the pending tasks that need to be completed, I think it is a very good assistant for all software developers.
It also keeps a productivity count and this means that at the end of the day we can see how far we have progressed in our work and at what point we can say that we are already in a safe rest zone to be able to jump to the next project.

Cons

There have been occasional deadline reminders and the program arbitrarily changed the deadline for another similar task that we were generating. It is a technical error that was solved by contacting support, but I am grateful that there was such a willingness to solve this.

I can use it easily and on the go to add and complete tasks.

Pros

It has taken the place of my written daily planner. It's more convenient and automatically schedules my tasks for business, personal and other M365 Apps. It's easy to use.

Cons

It's somewhat simplistic for people who have many tasks and management duties and assignments.

My overall experience with Microsoft To Do has been positive, as it offers a simple and intuitive interface for task management, but it lacks some advanced features needed for more complex project workflows.

Pros

What I liked most about Microsoft To Do is its seamless integration with Microsoft 365, making it easy to sync tasks across devices and collaborate with teams efficiently.

Cons

What I liked least about Microsoft To Do is its limited advanced features for project management, which can make it less suitable for complex task tracking and reporting.

Nearly flawless to do application and better than any of the other similar apps I've tried in the past. Handles any and all to do list related activities seamlessly.

Pros

Exactly what I need in an organizational to do app for keeping my business and personal goals easily accessible so that I'm able to achieve them.

Cons

There aren't too many flaws that I could pick out with Microsoft To Do, but if I had to pick one, I would suggest allowing for changing the notification frequency.

Pros

Microsoft to-do is super easy to set up and get started with. It is easy to share list with other users and collaborate on tasks. The pricing isn’t as even available for personal users for free.

Cons

There is no natural to-do input unlike competitors.

Overall, my experience with Microsoft To Do has been positive. The app’s simplicity and ease of use make it a great tool for managing daily tasks and staying organized.

Pros

Microsoft To Do stands out for its simplicity and seamless integration with other Microsoft services. The intuitive interface makes it easy to create, organize, and prioritize tasks. Additionally, the ability to sync across devices ensures that your to-do lists are always up-to-date, whether you’re on your phone, tablet, or computer.

Cons

Microsoft To Do’s feature set to be somewhat limited compared to other task management apps. Additionally, the lack of advanced customization options and occasional sync issues can be frustrating.

I do like Microsoft To Do and it definitely feels like I save time and get more work done when using it. It could be better but it's still an advantage vs nothing at all.

Pros

I like that it reminds me to do things, I definitely need that sometimes. Same with having all my tasks in one spot.
I signed up fast with my Microsoft account and I can integrate with other Microsoft apps. I can flag emails (that are sent to my Microsoft account only) and they will show up in the app. From there I can make a task or list if needed. If you're working with a team, it will also show you what tasks are assigned to you specifically.
Repeating tasks are especially helpful for me, and they're easy to set up.

Cons

The layout of the home screen is kind of awkward. In the margin there's an option for "tasks" but also various different categories of tasks like "planned". They're all planned technically so I don't quite understand that one, but the point is at first I missed things because of the categories.

I would say that my overall experience was great

Pros

What I like about Microsoft to do is how easy it is to use. It's got a few really nice features such as being able to group your task lists, changing the background of your lists, sync with your OneDrive account, etc. it's also a really good app to use as a mobile daily planner.

Cons

What I didn't like is that it can be confusing upon initial first time use. You really have to take your time to explore the app. Once you get to know how to use it, however, it becomes easier to use.

Built in task manager

Reviewed on 13/02/2024

Pros

I've been using Microsoft To Do to assign tasks to my team and it has been an absolute game-changer! The app makes it incredibly easy to create and assign tasks to specific team members, set due dates, and track progress. I love how I can see when tasks are being completed and get notifications when important deadlines are approaching. This has helped me stay on top of my team's workload and ensure that everyone is staying productive and on task. The ability to add notes and attachments to each task is also incredibly helpful, as it allows me to provide all relevant information to my team in one place. Overall, Microsoft To Do has made it so much easier for me to manage my team's workload and stay on top of important tasks. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful task management tool!

Cons

If I had to choose something I liked least about Microsoft To Do I would say the lack of native themes for the app.

Microsoft To Do is an easy to use app, it has a nice and intuitive design witch you will love from the start. I like that I can add notes and tasks that can repeat every week or month, checkbox tasks that helps you manage different things and integrates very easy with outlook.

Pros

The most I like at Microsoft To Do is that is free, already integrated with Windows and available as mobile apps on Android and IOS. The synchronization between the devices is fast and you can always be sure that all devices and people get the task or note immediately.

Cons

For me everything works as it should be, there are no things to like less.

I've really enjoyed using Microsoft To Do and use it to create a number of to do lists which helps with productivity.

Pros

Very easy to create to do list, priotise those lists and mark tasks as complete. You can also share the to do list with someone else and update together in real time.

Cons

There have been some updating issues when sharing a to do list with someone else where you can't see their changes for some time.

Reviewed on 25/04/2024

Pros

My favorite thing about To Do is setting up recurring tasks. For example, Every other Monday, payroll needs to be completed by the end of the day and I used to forget constantly. Setting up a recurring reminder is easy and ensures that I will never forget again!

Cons

I honestly can't complain about any aspect of this simple tool. It does what you need it to do and stays out of the way.

I use Microsoft To Do practically every day that I am at work. It's easy to make my list in the morning when I first get to the office, add things throughout the day if needed, and mark things off once they're completed. It's very simple, but extremely helpful as well.

Pros

Easy to use, and is incorporated with other Microsoft programs which I use daily.

I no longer have to remember all I have to get done in my day. Just review my lists on my Microsoft To Do app and go on my merry way. My co-workers can check to see if there are any more tasks to do and don't have to keep checking with me. I love this software.

Pros

I like that it organizes my lists. I have so many tasks to do and so little time. Its very user friendly and even my stupid co-worker can use with no problem. It took hardly any time to teach her how to use it.

Cons

The cost was the only problem. But my boss decided that it was worth the price.

Pros

Simple user interface, so no training is required, I can actually upload files per task, also, the product is free.

Cons

Unable to prioritize task, you can only "star" priority tasks. Also, no option available for reports, but that is ok as it is a simple and effective task management tool.
