Ratings and reviews

10/19/24 notifications on a schedule keep triggering an hour later than scheduled. Not sure why it changed after being set up on a regular schedule ,............. I like it and use it as it syncs well. However the mobile app would be much better if it had a to mirror the buttons for left handers. I've 'completed' many tasks that I mean to add to my day, it's a little annoying

I think Microsoft To-Do is one of the better applications out there. I do think from an tracking standpoint, adding more Outlook and project like features would help tremendously. For example, if a task goes "unchecked" where I can find my "overdue" items? You can't. Another example, if I want to copy the subtasks into another new task, you can't do that. Another example, if I want to group tasks that are dependent on each other for completion, you can't. So much potential!

Microsoft To do has the basics but lacks the necessary automation and QoL features that other apps have. For example, syncing with smart home devices, sharing to other Todo apps in case of company policies, setting repeat occurrences for a set amount of times, etc. Some features would be easy to add but there hasn't been any substantial update to the app for years. Overall, seek an alternative unless you can settle with only Microsoft syncing and lackluster QoL.
