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
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.

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.

Pros
I used it a lot to keep track of my backlog. I don't use it for daily purposes, but its more long-term task-based categories are easy and useful to set up.
Cons
There is not a lot of cross-platform integration for Microsoft and it just became a big backlog of tasks.

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.

Microsoft To Do Makes Task Management Easy
Reviewed on 18/12/2023
Pros
Its simplicity means that it is great at the thing it does, which is being a to do list. There isn't too much noise, or loads of functionality that isn't needed. It's simple to use, and does it well.
Cons
Perhaps the UI could look a bit more modern.

What “To Do” with Microsoft

Microsoft To Do is yet another software option that came with our Office 365 plan. I’m sure I’m not the only person who has glanced at the additional software offerings from Microsoft but did not try to incorporate it. Thankfully, we did not go this route with To Do. We weren’t looking for software “to do” what To Do does, but once we realized the functionality it provided, we use it daily. It has been another example of Microsoft providing us with solutions to problems we did not know we had.
Pros
The best part of Microsoft To Do for our organization is the ease with which it integrates into our other Office applications. It fits in perfectly with the software we are already using on a daily basis.
Cons
There is nothing game-changing about Microsoft To Do. It’s not software that we cannot live without, nor are we convinced that there are not other options with more functions. However, we did not implement it with those hopes in mind. For what we need it to do—help us keep employees and groups on task and making progress towards short and long term goals—it is great.

It's a good tool in theory but in practice, it for some reason does not work for me that well. The very thing that is probably its strong suit - that you remember every single task you have written down - is what makes it lose its value for me. For me, less important small undone tasks clutter the list so much that I have to delete it all and start from scratch if I want to be abel to make sense of it at all and see my priorities, not a cluster of minor tasks.
Pros
Simple to use and log tasks quickly. Good integration with Outlook, easy to see tasks in the Outlook sidebar.
Cons
Not too much control about task management. I tend to update the task list when I have a lot of tasks to manage at once, and when they get done they tend to pile up and once the list inevitably gets out of date, I stop looking at it as frequently.

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.

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.

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.
