1. [R1] 5/5 · US To do: I love it cause it’s easy to use and very useful. Plus I love Microsoft
2. [R5] 5/5 · US Appreciation: Excellent app, it help me to plan and prioritize my work and tasks during the day in the efficient way.
3. [R11] 5/5 · US Download it!!: Use it daily to stay on track this is by far my most opened productivity app!! 10/10 n I don’t write reviews EVER
4. [R48] 5/5 · US The only thing that’s worked: Love this app! It’s so simple, but lets you make multiple lists and goes straight to “my day”. It’s so easy to add tasks that are on a general to do list that aren’t already related. I have ADHD and I’ve tried literally every to do list or productivity app out there, and this is the only one that has stuck. I’ve tried writing stuff on paper and I always end up losing
5. [R20] 5/5 · US Great and reliable: I use it for work and it’s been helping me be organized!! On my daily task !! Great for work.
6. [R31] 5/5 · US Love this app: This application has been instrumental in organizing my life, serving both personal and academic purposes effectively. I am in the process of syncing my goals with the calendar feature to enhance my productivity as a parent and student. This app helps me organize my busy life as a mom, an academic student, and a business owner. I just wish I could use the to-do list/tasks with the O
7. [R49] 5/5 · US Outstanding: This app helps me prioritize my day effectively
8. [R7] 4/5 · US Love the app, but the widgets dont work with the clear or tinted themes of ios: Thats about it. Been using it for years and its really good at syncing stuff no matter which device I am on
9. [R35] 5/5 · US Useful cross platform app: I love that disco coordinates between my iPhone, iPad, and PC. The scheduled reminders and ability to break items down into steps / sub items is great. I keep several different categories of lists, including my grocery list that I can check off and then quickly repopulate, a packing list that helps me not forget stuff when I’m rushing to get out of town, my chores, and i
10. [R56] 5/5 · US Lovin’ It: I have used this app both on my iPhone and laptop for the past few years. It was functional and synced automatically. The only suggestion I have is to add the ability to code in priority rankings. Still a very solid tool that I use daily.
11. [R62] 5/5 · US My To Do is: A huge stack of lists that involve work, the house, groceries, shopping, tasks and a slew of other items. Crossover of operating systems is a huge plus and it’s easy to operate. I used to use evernote but it became so complex and bloated in my opinion that I had to search for a simpler way. For me, MS To Do is the perfect tool.
12. [R14] 5/5 · US So great: I absolutely love this app. My favorite part is that I can be at the store, and my wife can add thing onto the list from home as she cooks.
13. [R51] 5/5 · US Love, love!: I use this for shared grocery list with my husband, also to track TV shows and movies we want to watch. I don’t know what we would do without it. Thank you, Microsoft!
14. [R68] 3/5 · US Awesome when it works: I use this list for years. Me and my husband would share it for grocery list or packing list. I shared it with other family member members when we were traveling together and it’s been awesome. The problem is over the last six months to a year. It’s not updating between people anymore. It constantly signing us out or not sinking properly. It’s become unusable at this point
15. [R260] 3/5 · GB Inferior: Unlike the android version, this one doesn’t seem to suggest completed items in a list when you start typing, which allows you to then move that item to the incomplete list. Other than that this is a pretty competent app, which I use because I can easily share lists with my spouse
16. [R17] 5/5 · US Organizational Bliss: Love the way To Do syncs with Outlook and the Outlook calendar to simplify my workflow. I can manage my meetings, action items, and assigned tasks from MS Planner all in one place!
17. [R19] 5/5 · US It works !: Used for years. Just right for outlook user. Thanks !
18. [R64] 5/5 · US To get it done: I love Microsoft To Do. It is integrated into the applications in the suite and is my only application for To Do list functionality.
19. [R2] 1/5 · US Why is it crashing?: Suddenly stopped working on iphone 16 Pro…
20. [R6] 1/5 · US Crashing: Keeps crashing on both my iPhone and iPad. Tried many time contacting Microsoft but there was no response. Too bad
21. [R71] 1/5 · US Crashes constantly: Can’t create new lists without app crashing
22. [R78] 1/5 · US Constantly crashes on iOS: Can’t go more than 3 actions without the app crashing. Useless
23. [R3] 1/5 · US Syncing: Cannot get syncing to work on this app only. All other apps my 3 devices sync with no problem. Being 70+ easier to type on iPad or Mac. But use my iPhone when using when away from house. Constantly have to delete and reinstall app on iPhone. Have started moving some of my lists to other apps.
24. [R22] 1/5 · US Sync issues never end: Unfortunately, MS apps - primarily To Do and OneNote, have had sync issues on/off for 5+ years. They fix the issues for a while and then they come back. At work, home, and on Windows and iOS/Mac. Nice idea, just okay GUI, but horrible execution. BLUF: It’s not reliable. Time to replace.
25. [R40] 1/5 · US Refuses to sync correctly: The iOS app refuses to sync correctly with the desktop app. Signing out and in does not fix the issue. Looks like it’s time to find a more reliable to do app. It’s sad to see just how badly Microsoft screwed up the Wunderlist purchase.
26. [R117] 1/5 · US Terrible: This app consistently does not sync tasks between the desktop and mobile. It is a horrible user experience and that is a shame because this is a wonderful program.
27. [R12] 3/5 · US Encrappification has arrived: The whole point of having an app and not using the web is so I don’t have to sign in every time. Here, I had to 2FA twice in a row, plus dismiss an annoying passkey nag. Then the login pop-up kept coming back up. I only was able to fix after a force-close. You literally have one job: don’t make the app worse.
28. [R44] 2/5 · US Has benefits but: The constant need to login all the time is a drag and make it frustrating because if the password is not right it takes forever to get it reset.
29. [R82] 1/5 · US Microsoft security is pathetic!: This MS app is so ridiculous! It suddenly needs me to log in every time I open the app. Then, before I enter anything at all it has a red message saying I’ve tried too many times and will have to wait! This isn’t my bank information, it’s a TO DO list !!!!! If I can get signed in somehow (this is the 4th day trying) I’ll copy/paste my list to a much more manageabl
30. [R106] 1/5 · US Doesn’t want you to use it: Unless spending an unnecessary amount of time performing tedious bs is also part of your to do list, I’d just use another app. Made logging in so difficult I could’ve just skipped making the list and gotten my stuff done. So much bs worried if I’m a robot or not they forgot to ask if I’m a human who actually wants to use the app
31. [R50] 1/5 · US IOS Issues: I love To Do and its functions, i love that I can access my lists from all of my work and personal devices. However, I use my iPad Mini as a work hub during the day for work, and the WIDGETS on iOS DO NOT WORK. They are a blank white space, previews do not even load. This is a huge issue for my productivity flow. Please fix!
32. [R60] 2/5 · US Widget broken: The widget is completely broken when using tinted icons on the Home Screen
33. [R114] 1/5 · US Widget Incompatible with new iOS: The widget is not visible when setting the homescreen to clear/grayscale using features in the new iOS. The app itself functions fine otherwise
34. [R90] 1/5 · US Utterly ruined this app: Got worse with every update. Can no longer easily move items around (think grocery list organization). What had been a simple drag and drop operation became an insanely cumbersome process of opening another menu, choosing reorder, and then pressing an up or down arrow dozens of times (and the item moves after each tap. Repeat this for every item and you are adding literall
35. [R102] 2/5 · US horrible interface not intuitive: the app got more inconvenient to use! now i can’t reorder my tasks by simply dragging them into the place i want them, i have to press a reorder button and then move the item up or down ONE SPOT AT A TIME. for a productivity app, that is a complete waste of people’s time!!
36. [R197] 3/5 · US Please Fix This!: Been using it since it was Wunderlist and I wish I could say it improved. One consistent annoyance that Microsoft has never fixed: in iOS it is quite easy to accidentally move a subtask back a level to the master list that it’s nested in when you’re trying to drag and re-order list items. I wish to God they would make it more clear where to drag and drop, since I keep accidentall
37. [R199] 3/5 · US MS Slowed It Down: I used ToDo for many years. It was intuitive, fast, simple, and met all my organizational needs. Then Microsoft bought it. They didn’t change the functionality, but slowed down the opening speed considerably. I opened it 20 or more times daily, usually while in a hurry. This delay wa grating and a waste of time. I recently found Tick Tick. It has all the functionality and more a
38. [R219] 3/5 · US Good app, just very slow: The app does all the things needed of a to do/productivity app. My only real issue is that this app is incredibly slow to respond to user inputs. Fingers crossed taps often take 5 seconds or more to react to your user input. Some times this is incredibly frustrating as you try to tick things off or even add a few more items to complete. Please work on the responsiveness
39. [R233] 3/5 · US So. Slow. To. Open.: I use this app constantly. For everything. It’s perfect! Except it takes FOREVER to open and if you switch between apps (making a grocery list for example off of a recipe……) it starts over. It’s excruciating and whatever update they did recently made it even worse.
40. [R15] 2/5 · US No printing?: Why no printing option for individual tasks?
41. [R30] 3/5 · US Can’t make suggestions: It would be nice to have a way to make suggestions. I clicked on the link in the app, but it won’t sign me in with the code they emailed me. So frustrating. The app really needs a way to have a list within a list. For example, for my “tv shows to watch” list, letting me sort it into “shows to watch alone, “shows to watch with spouse,” “movies for the weekend,” etc. And for
42. [R52] 3/5 · US Could be so much better: I moved from Todoist to To Do and have not looked back. But To Do has not been without its issues, mostly in terms of usability. My biggest complaint is Search. Something so fundamental. You cannot search from anywhere, you have to be at top level list view to even see the search icon, then you have to click it, then search. Search should be accessible everywhere - either
43. [R272] 3/5 · GB Search Function: The App would be so much better with a search function.
44. [R84] 1/5 · US Unusable - Defective Security System: In order to use this app, Microsoft requires a two-factor authentication security system. You must input a code that Microsoft sends to your alternative email address. However, they never send that email, despite multiple requests to resend it, so you never get a code to enter to use the app. Complete and utter waste of time.
45. [R54] 1/5 · US Search is broken: Searching by keyword just broken - Doesn’t find all the items
46. [R86] 2/5 · US Clear glass iPhone: Widgets doesn’t work in liquid glass mod (customization).
47. [R42] 5/5 · US Great: It works really well! It is amazing! I absolutely adore it! Definitely a five star rating, it is free!! What could be better than that there are so many great features that it has like you can add different backgrounds, etc. If it’s free, it’s for me! 😜
