To-Do’s “My Day” feature seems like it could be a stand-in, allowing users to gather up tasks from across all their lists and put them on the day’s agenda. No such feature exists in Microsoft To-Do, which also doesn’t support starring tasks at all. This can help users focus on higher-priority tasks. In addition to manually created task lists, Wunderlist can generate its own based on daily and weekly due dates, incoming assignments, and starred tasks. Wunderlist can automatically show “smart lists” when they’re relevant, and hide them when they’re not. But as with every other missing Wunderlist feature, there’s no timeframe. It’s possible Microsoft will add this feature eventually. Importing Wunderlist tasks into Microsoft To-Do currently triggers a warning message that says subtasks aren’t supported yet. Not being able to organize tasks this way makes project management much more cumbersome. Having subtasks also comes in handy for assignments with multiple components, such as a cluster of product reviews. As a freelance writer, I keep separate folders for potential story pitches and assignments to complete, with a different list for each publication.

The company sang a similar tune about Sunrise Calendar-another beloved app it acquired in 2015-and we all saw how smoothly that went. While Microsoft says this is “the first of a whole list of integrations we want to build,” don’t hold your breath. You can automate task creation with Zapier, send task notifications to Slack or Hipchat, create tasks with Google or Cortana voice commands, turn emails into tasks in Outlook, and attach files to a task through Dropbox.īy comparison, Microsoft To-Do has one integration, and that’s the ability to synchronize Outlook Tasks to the app. One reason Wunderlist is so powerful is that it hooks into several third-party services. Zapier recipes are among the integrations that make Wunderlist more useful. But Microsoft has not given a timeline, and it’s shocking the company announced the end of Wunderlist without one of its defining features in place. Microsoft says it’s “working hard” to add list sharing to its To-Do app, which makes sense given that the company is pitching it as an enterprise-ready tool for Office 365 users.

You also can’t assign a task to someone else, which is a feature of Wunderlist’s $5-per-month Pro plan. Today, the app doesn’t let you share a list with other users or leave comments-both core features of Wunderlist. The biggest omission from Microsoft To-Do, by far, is the ability to collaborate with others. Shared lists are an essential feature of Wunderlist.
