So Microsoft to-do have had an eventful
2018 with the launch back in 2017
2019 looks like an exciting year as the application begins to catch up with the competitors
So in the last 12 months Microsoft to do have been adding plenty of new additions to their application
And I'm going to play catch-up with many other resources
They have a long way to go, but we're gonna talk today about what's new with
Microsoft to do you can tell I really wanted to say that title
So let's begin with a timeline obviously we know that Microsoft to do was created back in
2017 as a replacement to vendor list, although vendor list is currently still available
They have not given a date to this sunset of the application
So to do is the new personal productivity application for task management for Microsoft in the last year
they've added a range of features including list sharing they've also added steps steps quite simply are
Subtasks and it did take a while for Microsoft to do to add these
Starring a task to important allowing you to add the most
Important tasks to a list and recently they've added the ability to attach files
This is a great new addition and something that a lot of people enjoyed
They have also been working and crafting the Android and Windows applications to be more of a beta experience for users
For example they announced dark mode on Android allowing you to see the application in dark mode
They also have that available in the Windows beta to know windows also got an addition of live tiles
Recently allowing to view all of your to-do updates inside of live tiles on Windows
The application is in its basic format, but definitely looks exciting for 2019
They do have a few things listed in their user voice as things they want to build
for example
They have an outlook integration allowing to send on emails in Outlook a calendar view allowing you to see your tasks per calendar day
Which is quite exciting a group list to improve the list sharing abilities
Multiple counts in case you have maybe a family account and a work account
Also the ability to see weekly plan of view, which is something that a lot of people want to see
They also have plans in springtime
Which they actually announced in their Microsoft ignite talk
That they have plans to add planner and to do allowing you to connect your work planner
Which is a project manager from Microsoft to your personal to-do list
Well, the integration that we're going to be releasing will bring your assigned task and planner into to do so you can have one central
place to manage them all
Or in this case. It could be your work to-do list, but they do have plenty of updates in the woodwork
So let's look and Microsoft to do as a package as a task manager. It does offer a great experience
It's available on android iOS web and windows
Although currently not available Mac. It does offer a pretty cross-platform experience
It also offers all you need for basic task management
for example
You can add a task and organize it into different lists or even organize it in my day and they also have features like suggestions
where once press you can access all of your overdue tasks and
Organize your day ahead in the my day view
They do include notes and also subtasks now
So you do have that ability to go a bit deeper into each task
Many people will say this is slowly creeping up on what the under list was like, they're also making it a really sturdy application
I've seen a lot of reviews that people have been rating Microsoft to do very highly now and
Actually using it as their daily to-do list, but let's take a moment to compare it to other such applications
Let's take a larger application like to do it that has a bit more grounding now
Obviously we know to duyst has features like labels and also filters as well as smart Reggio
Intelligent input and many more features like this
But it's actually not too far away from this
application if Microsoft to do and add onyx of a calendar view and also worked on some of its integrations and
Maybe added the ability to add contacts or even a filtered view they would be on level pegging with todoist
Within the next couple months, but let's also compare it to the application. Google Tasks now
Google Tasks is very basic
You can add tasks very simply adding subtasks notes, but not really much more
You can't add it to a customized list
Which you can do in Microsoft to do allow you to add a lot more customization. You don't have any of the my de
Suggestions or any of the planned or important areas and inside Microsoft to do so
What I would say is when comparing to these two applications, I would put it bang in the middle
I'd say it's a perfect balance between two
Duis and Google Tasks allowing you to get the best of the breed of these applications. So if you're looking for a robust
application that doesn't really do the advanced stuff that applications like to do is tick tick and navona do
Then you're going to be looking at Microsoft to do but if you don't want an application that does things like Google Tasks
Apple reminders or some of these basic experiences then you want to upgrade to Microsoft to do
So this application sits happily in between now right now, it's currently free
The team seemed really active on social media on Twitter
specifically and they've seemed to be updating pretty routinely now I highly recommend you go and watch the
Microsoft ignite talk they did recently back in
October about Microsoft to do because it might give you an outline of what they plan to bring to the application
And also if you are looking for a resource
This one will be sticking around at least with the short term as they phasing applications like vendor lists
So guys let me know in the comments what you think of Microsoft to do let me know whether this was a nice round up
To Microsoft to do because I would definitely be doing more features like this soon. So guys
