A main reason I picked this for my ToDo list app was because it’s cross platform and syncs across all devices…. Or at least that’s what they claim… Over the past year I’ve noticed an issue where tasks will sometimes not sync across devices, so when you close the app you created the task on then BOOM! The task you created is fully lost and not synced anywhere. This is a known issue that’s been reported and Microsoft isn’t addressing

… prefer classic Microsoft to do list with its functionality similar to spreadsheet… allowing for categories and on screen reading or simple browsing of what tasks are due remains my preferred method to using the to do app…

I find that the app Intermittently crashes on Mac right when I’m working on it and when I’m not and I constantly update.

I like the To Do list and have come to rely on it completely. I like that I can flag an email for follow-up or add my own to-do item, and they are all kept in the same place. A few things to make it better: 1) I want CoPilot to be able to search my completed tasks and write a summary of what I’ve done, but it cannot search To Do. It would be better if CoPilot could access these items. 2) in the Mac version, I cannot choose an importance level or select a category for the items 3) I would like a view that incorporated my tasks, grouped by due date, with tasks without a due date listed at the bottom. “Planned” view allows my tasks to be sorted by due date, but it doesn’t include tasks without a due date. 4) I would like the option to have my to-do list docked with my calendar or email so I can see my meetings along with my to-do list items on one page. I believe this is available on Windows, but I cannot do it on my Mac.

Overall, pretty seamless between devices and for sharing. However, it’s a multistep, multi-app PITA when you invite someone for the first time to a new list - send a text, login via a browser, then finally get access to the list in the app… Fix that!

La aplicación es poco flexible y no permite ordenar la información de manera personalizada. La usabilidad es deficiente.

I have family that uses index cards for what they need to do that day. A single index card shows all the musts for a single day. There’s truly not that many. This is better than apple note by leaps and bounds, though it’s less than chaos control or omniplan. I’m just not sure if it’s better than physical index cards.

Why does Microsoft design things that are so unintuitive? It shouldn’t be so hard to move items around. Clicking and moving around and most of the time the list scrolls WAY too fast to get into proper placement, or an item gets transferred into another item as a Step. Frustrating.

New review (2026): Some of the older asks (like Apple watch app) may have been resolved. I still find ToDo sluggish and the refresh is pathetic. Every time I open the app, there is a 15 second delay where it just shows blank and tries to refresh. Picture this, You keep your grocery list in this app, walk into the supermarket, open the app and try to look up. The cell service is low, you don’t want to sign into the insecure public WiFI at the store either. This app will suck a solid minute showing the blank screen as it tries to frantically refresh itself. You would say, why don’t you open the app before you enter the store. It still does not help as the app will decide to still check for updates. The only way is to open the app, leave it open, ensure the screen does not lock, all the way until you finish your shopping. You can only use one hand. From a company like Microsoft, which make this app, I expect better.
