Microsoft To-Do for iOS review: One step forward and two steps back

Microsoft's new To-Do tasks app, formerly known as "Project Cheshire," has not been out for long, and it shows. The app is a buggy mess compared to similar task management options.

Microsoft has had many task management offerings, such as Wunderlist and OneNote, and while both were fairly popular, the former has been replaced by Microsoft's new service called To-Do. The app is available for all three major platforms, Windows 10, Android and iOS, which means you can easily sync content between devices on these platforms.

We put the iOS version through some tests. Here's what we found.

Getting started with Microsoft To-Do

Microsoft To-Do is a beautiful application, and you feel it right from the beginning. A lot of effort was put into the look of the app, and that is something we rarely see from Microsoft. The whole design language reminds me a little of Google's "Material Design" style, more so than Microsoft's own "Modern Design Language 2," which is obviously ironic.

The app syncs with your Outlook Tasks content, too. So adding an Outlook task on one device instantly syncs it over to your other devices.

Complaints

Unfortunately, To-Do is missing other features that are present in Microsoft's Wunderlist.
