Microsoft To Do review

Microsoft To Do is the best free to-do app for people already inside Microsoft's world. Microsoft says it is free and syncs lists across the web, iOS, Android and Windows, and there is no paid tier to upsell you. The core planning tool is My Day, a daily list you build with intelligent and personalized suggestions. Tasks can carry steps, notes, files up to 25 MB, and one-time or recurring due dates and reminders. Its biggest advantage is Outlook: tasks sync with Outlook tasks, and To Do gathers tasks from across Microsoft 365 apps into one place. Shared lists work for families and classmates, with notifications when someone adds, completes or removes a task. What it lacks is planning depth. There is no calendar or board layout, filters are limited, and power users will outgrow it. For a clean, free list that follows you from a Windows PC to an Android or iPhone, it is hard to beat.
