- [R29] Microsoft To Do 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!
- [R32] Microsoft To Do An App I use Every Day: I have used MSFT ToDo List for many years. It is so useful. I have separate lists for the Market, Pharmacy, Pets and home projects. It’s perfect for the market. When you realize you are out of something you add it that moment. Then days later when you are in the store you always have your list. No more leaving that slip of paper at home forgetting you needed it. This is a m
- [R76] Microsoft 365 Copilot Ai app: I’m not sure what am I supposed to do with this app now. Before the ai updates I use to love using the app for all my Microsoft needs, you could do word, excel, PowerPoint, all in one app and it was great, now is just an ai assistant. Had to delete the app as now is completely useless.
- [R80] Microsoft 365 Copilot Garbage: What is the point of this app now? This app used to combine productivity apps into one place. Ever since they made it all about Copilot it’s now totally redundant. There already is a Copilot app so why does this exist? Can I even create Excel or Word documents in this app anymore? That used to be the whole point of this app. Microsoft never stops ruining their own software.
- [R2] Microsoft To Do To do: I love it cause it’s easy to use and very useful. Plus I love Microsoft
- [R5] Microsoft To Do Life Changing: This is my all time favorite app. It’s changed my life
- [R67] Microsoft 365 Copilot Co pilot Awful and intrusive: For simple home use this is totally unnecessary and intrusive. Rather like going to the tap for a glass of water and finding that your house is now in a 10 ft deep flood. Worst of all you can’t switch it off. Worst piece of software ever. MS NEED TO RESOLVE PDQ. Will cancel subscription. Never again.
- [R83] Microsoft 365 Copilot This is awful: Whatever happened to simply being able to upload my PowerPoints to transfer them onto other apps? This new update is so annoyingly difficult to navigate and it’s removed so many of the old features. Makes university work much more difficult as I can no longer annotate my slides and notes. This new update is extremely lazy. Leave the Ai chats to apps like ChatGPT - this app is for p
- [R11] Microsoft To Do 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
- [R61] Microsoft 365 Copilot Stuck in a loop: Stuck in a loop with Microsoft Authenticator. Totally unusable. Pointless paying for this when it doesn’t work!
- [R100] Microsoft 365 Copilot Wtf?: They replaced office with this garbage. How do I quickly create a spreadsheet?
- [R1] Microsoft To Do Why is it crashing?: Suddenly stopped working on iphone 16 Pro…
- [R82] Microsoft 365 Copilot Slow, clunky, unreliable: Slow, clunky and unreliable. Frequent messages suggesting ‘something went wrong’. Security features a nightmare - if ever MS Authenticator is mentioned, I have to take a Diazepam!
- [R89] Microsoft 365 Copilot Dumbing down: Encourages lazy thinking, resulting in unreliable output.
- [R6] Microsoft To Do 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.
- [R22] Microsoft To Do 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.
- [R105] Microsoft 365 Copilot poor service: the image generation stopped working 5 days ago saying maximum limit reached and there’s no way to reset or reach out to someone regarding this . i was loving this system until it stopped being function for me . and the irony is if you ask it to sort itself out it can’t .
- [R107] Microsoft 365 Copilot No copilot chat option for iOS: There is no chat option for iOS M365 app (for nhs.net user). Only access is for various files which is already same via one drive and outlook. This chat option is available on google M365 app (with same nhs.net user account) or when NOT signed in with nhs.net or other Microsoft email.
