### "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.

### "Great multi device organiser"

February 19, 2025

4.0

I think it is a fantastic way of keeping myself organised on the go. 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!

### "Never forget any tasks again "

August 31, 2026

4.0

Pros

Microsoft To Do is great platform for management features and is worth every penny. 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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "Simple enough to actually keep using"

September 21, 2026

5.0

Microsoft To Do has been a convenient way to keep track of tasks and reminders without making the process complicated. 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.

### "Make Microsoft To Do into Microsoft To Done!"

August 17, 2026

5.0

The Microsoft To Do Program has made completing task and duties at work so easy that the idea of not using this program anymore make it seem impossible.

Pros

Project management can be made easy if utilizing the Microsoft To Do Program. Working and collaborating with a team on projects makes tackling tasks like scheduling are simplified for ease of use.

Cons

There are not many negative aspects with the Microsoft To Do Program however if something has to be noted it would be ease of use for non-tech savvy personnel.

4.0

Pros

I appreciate the clean interface, the ability to create shared lists with my design team, and native Outlook integration to convert client feedback emails into scheduled tasks.

Cons

For complex marketing projects with multiple creative dependencies, we must pair it with a more structured project management tool.

Pros

What I love most about Microsoft to do is it’s a free app, easy to use, easy to schedule and follow. This app has truly made my life easier. From creating deadlines to checking off daily tasks completed and keeping everything organized.

### "Microsoft To Do My simplified and effective task list"

May 16, 2026

5.0

An immediate reduction in my anxiety. By getting tasks out of my head and into the app, I regain a calm and focus that I didn't have before.

Pros

I really appreciate the "My Day" feature. Every morning, I start with a blank list and consciously choose the tasks I will focus on. It’s very rewarding to check off items and hear the little "ding" of success. The integration with Outlook is perfect: I can turn an email into a task with one click.

Cons

I find it a bit too simplistic for managing group projects. It lacks advanced collaboration features or more detailed calendar views. It is truly a personal task management tool above all.

### "Simple and concise personal and team task management system."

December 1, 2025

4.0

Microsoft To Do helps me keep little tasks out of my head for the day at SoftWeb PK; I give quick break to feature and set a due date which makes me less anxious about not remembering small fixes.

Pros

What I like about Microsoft To Do is how light and clean it feels; I’m able to quickly jot down tasks, set reminders for them, and share rudimentary lists with my colleagues without them needing any training.

Cons

The annoying part is when sync lags between desktop and mobile; now and then shared lists update slowly, and for client projects that tiny delay causes me to double-check everything.

### "Simple and Easy"

July 18, 2025

5.0

I was able to download app fast and get started right away. Has a nice simple layout which I like. No overwhelming information. I love it is isn't clustered with to many things. Right at the top is My Day label to click on and see the days task I have saved and planned ahead for. Nice picture background on my day too. I can make my task ahead of time so that makes it easier to do other things without having to mark a task everyday.

Pros

Easy to get started with the app as soon as I downloaded it. Quickly and easily add task I want to do. Can mark the ones that are important to do before other .

Cons

So far I haven't found anything that I don't like or that I would change. Nothing wrong with the app.

It is a solid choice for people looking for a simple and effective task manager. It’s perfect for personal use, helping users organise daily tasks, set reminders, and manage different projects.

Pros

Very clean, simple and easy to use interface. Makes organisation in the workplace a lot easier on a daily basis.

Cons

Lacks a high degree of customisation. Can seem quite basic. Doesn't support real time collaboration.

### "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

Pros

I really appreciate how simple and organized Microsoft To Do is. The ability to break tasks into subtasks and set reminders keeps our workspace operations running smoothly. I also like that it syncs across devices

Cons

The collaboration features feel a bit limited. While I can share lists, it’s not always as seamless as I’d like when working with multiple team members.

### "Keeps you on track "

July 17, 2025

4.0

Overall, for what I'm mostly using it for, Microsoft To Do has been perfect. 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.

### "Microsoft To Do... Don't "

May 6, 2025

Meh. It can help create lists, but it's not much more efficient than writing it down on a post-it note.

Pros

It helps organize and keep track of tasks and lists. Especially useful for action items

Cons

It's functionality is limited. The UI is clunky. I never really felt like I got a full feel for the one and outs of the software.

February 10, 2025

4.0

Serves its purpose very well, the flagging of Junk mail is a very unwelcome characteristic of the app.

Pros

Simple & straightforward activity tracker, that is integrated into all Microsoft applications

Cons

Junk email get flagged to review; this translates to junk mail getting flagged as relevant on your dashboard. Duplicates are created, creating a monstrosity unimportant information...rt. at your fingertips. :)

May 21, 2025

5.0

Overall it serves the purpose which is to organize my daily tasks, and put it in categories. I use this for personal activities, so it helps me classify tasks easily

Pros

i like that there is a synchronization for the laptop app to the phone app. I also like the sub-categories for the task stated.

Cons

The phone app widget lags a lot. There would be times that the list wouldn't be visible. The purpose of the widget is to see a quick view of my tasks.
