Founder E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple yet very powerful task organizer" March 19, 2025 5.0 Amazing, simple to use, very usefuel for simple every day productivity. Pros I love the "My Day" feature. The simplicity of the user interface. very straightforward direct and simple software, which is great. Cons While the simple things work great, it would be awesome to have more features. Also, there is something about the my day feature where it would be great if it was easier to rollover unfinished tasks from my previous day. Switched from [Evernote Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/154969/Evernote-Business/) I used to use evernotes for keeping a simple track of tasks but I find To do a lot more helpful.

Operations Coordinator Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple and Reliable Task Management for Everyday Use" June 12, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Microsoft To Do has been very positive. The platform is easy to learn, and the simple layout improves EASE OF USE for both personal and work-related task management. It works well for PROJECT MANAGEMENT by helping organize deadlines, reminders, and daily priorities in one place. TEAM COLLABORATION is helpful when sharing task lists with others, especially for small projects or group planning. CUSTOMER SUPPORT resources and Microsoft help pages are useful when troubleshooting problems. I have experienced only minor BUGS AND ISSUES occasionally, like syncing delays, but overall the app runs smoothly and reliably. Pros What I liked most about Microsoft To Do is how simple and organized it makes daily planning. The layout is clean and easy to use, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming when managing multiple tasks. I also like the My Day feature because it helps prioritize what needs to get done each day. It is great value for money! Cons I can’t think of any cons when it comes to Microsoft To Do. It is good software with minor bugs and issues. Switched from [Swift To-Do list](https://www.capterra.com/p/78961/Swift-To-Do-list/) Because Microsoft To Do is much more reliable and is better value for money!

It allows scheduling tasks through which user can set reminders for important or upcoming dates and events which makes tasks clutter free. Collaborating with teams is also easy with Microsoft To Do as it offers sharing and tracking collaborated work. The interface is easy to use which makes task completion quick. Cons Microsoft To Do is a good tool to remember little things and set the reminders that helps in organizing life. Review Source Shaun D. Freelance Editor Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Beginner Tool for Task Management with Noticeable Limits" July 18, 2025 3.0 When I first started using MTD, I found it to be an intuitive tool for project management. I liked the ability to organize tasks into categories and to have access to these via my phone. However, once I graduated to larger project management across multiple software ecosystems, the limits of MTD became abundantly clear. If one needs it for small project management, I think it is a better piece of software than its immediate competitor (Google Tasks). Pros 1) It has a low learning curve and is very easy to use right out of the gate. The navigation is intuitive. 2) If all you need is a basic task manager that works with the Microsoft ecosystem, it is perfectly suitable for that task. 3) Within the Microsoft ecosystem, it does a solid job provide reminders and notifications, connecting to your calendar, etc. The mobile app is also, in my experience, perfectly usable. 4) For most basic task management needs, To Do's features make it perfectly suitable. When I first used it for a single large project, its features let me differentiate types of work, steps, and due dates. Cons 1) If you need it to interact with anything outside of the Microsoft ecosystem, I found that you needed to use a third party service as a router between Microsoft and the other ecosystem. For me, this would have required navigating two different ecosystems and manually moving things from one to the other. 2) It is not feature rich. The features it has work great for small project management or general to do lists, but beyond that, it lacks some of the common features of its competitors. I won't fault it too much for this because it is a free piece of software. 3) It isn't, in my opinion, well-designed for managing large projects or multiple projects. The features it has could technically do this work, but I found that this created more confusion and mental drain than a more feature rich alternative. This might not be an issue for someone who does not manage multiple projects which run regularly and all year. 4) Some integrations between To Do and other Microsoft software either isn't possible or requires a third party solution. This is unfortunate.

It helps me stay organized and see what needs my attention. Pros Microsoft To Do keeps task management simple. I like being able to create separate lists, set due dates and reminders, and break larger tasks into smaller steps. The My Day view is particularly useful for deciding what I want to focus on each day. Cons It works well for personal task management, but it can feel limited when tasks become more complex or require detailed project planning and dependencies. Review Source KK Kennedy K. Education Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Microsoft review- Coordinator" November 6, 2025 4.0 Overall, I love using Microsoft and will continue to use it to help keep me organized at work, especially since it is convenient and automatically pulls things from Outlook. Pros The thing I like most about Microsoft is that it allows a space on my computer for all of my Outlook calendar events to be laid out in a neater/easier way to see and understand. Cons Sometimes I experienced minor lagging/ glitching, which could get annoying. Although, these glitches never lasted very long and they seemed to fix the problem as soon as it was reported. Switched from [monday AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) I made the switch because the Monday website became too expensive and didn't allow me to organize my tasks as I wanted to.

Pros it integrates with O365, making for an easier time getting my tasks from the places i do my work to the places i track my work. particularly flagged emails turning into tasks is a huge help Cons the program often seems to close itself, which isn't a huge deal but would be nice if it was a bit more stable. i also wish it was quicker to schedule tasks or keep things on the "my day" from day to day when i don't manage to finish tasks. i suppose that it's good practice to re-set my day each morning though Switched from [Todoist](https://www.capterra.com/p/149339/Todoist-for-Business/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) to be honest, all share the same folly- you need to actually do the work. we use office so to-do is more integrated than most others.

If I am out and about, it means I can plan and update projects on the fly. Pros The ease of use, flexibility to use on multiple devices. Great that I can have it on my work phone, tablet, laptop and PC, all synced together with notifications on every device when needed. Cons the amount of tasks in my to do list, that isn't Microsoft's fault though! Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Wasn't fit for purpose, and too clunky in the design Review Source Deyan G. Managing Editor Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "As with most Microsoft products, there's a lot to desire. " March 7, 2025 4.0 I liked that it is working as it should, but the lack of important integrations made me switch to another product. Pros It is easy to use, and reliable, and there isn't a steep learning curve for new employees. Cons Not enough integrations. The design isn't something I appreciate as well. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) We wanted something simpler, but it didn't work out as expected. Review Source LS Lex S. OPS Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review - Microsoft To Do " September 12, 2026 4.0 Pros Simple tool that is easy to use and help us to easily collaborate with our team.

Pros when I found out about Microsoft To Do, I was going through a phase of endless distractions between entrepreneurship and going to university. It was free for what I needed and easy to use. I had no worries about notifications, and I could set timers, reminders, color code projects. I also loved the done sound it gave me when I marked a project complete. Cons I think there should be brighter colors on there. The colors were a bit dull and wasn't enticing for the most part. Review Source SS Scott S. Project Manager Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "daily task management" January 4, 2026 5.0 Microsoft To Do is a simple and effective tool for managing daily tasks and personal workload within projects. Pros The app is easy to use and integrates well with Outlook. Task lists are clear, reminders work reliably, and it helps stay organized throughout the day. Cons It lacks advanced project management features, so it works best for personal task tracking rather than team-wide planning. Review Source BB Brendan B.

Prevention Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "To Do or to Planner" April 2, 2025 4.0 Over all the experience is good, it just depends on what your needs are. In my case I need to be able to see my tasks, and the tasks assigned to me, but I also need to check on other staff as the supervisor. This is where planner has the advantage over To DO. If you are just using this for yourself to stay organized it's a great program. Pros I love the integration with outlook. That is very helpful. Cons It's a limited program from my perspective. Im not sure what the benefit is other than ease of use if you can integrate planner into outlook at as well. I have been experimenting with both of them at the same time to attempt to identify an advantage. I think Planner gets the nod over To Do Review Source SR Scott R.

Keeps me on track with my daily tasks. Pros Microsoft To Do has been the best way I've found for me to keep track of my tasks. I've used other apps, including the reminder feature on my phone but nothing has seemed to work as well as Microsoft To Do. Cons Microsoft To Do is perfect for dealing with small task reminders but there's no large-scale planning task functionality. Review Source MM Michaela M.

It helps to keep me on track and reminds me of items that I have coming up as I set them up to do so. Which sometimes is hard when notifications don't come through as you expect them to. Pros I like this feature a lot. It is easy to set up and accessible straight from my Outlook main screen.
