Lists allow you to group tasks, such as Personal To Dos, Work Tasks, Shopping List, and so forth. You don't have any such options in Microsoft To Do. For example, in Todoist, you can create and save a custom filter that is essentially an advanced search, such as all tasks in the Personal list that are due in the next seven days, or all tasks labeled high priority that are past due. Other to-do list apps let you create custom views, sometimes called filters, so that you decide which tasks you see. The ones you get include My Day, showing all tasks due today, and Important, showing tasks to which you've added a star, among others. The view options are all premade, and there's no way to make your own custom views. In that left rail are views and lists of tasks that you create. Microsoft To Do is available on all major platforms, including macOS (shown). For everyone else who just wants a great to-do list app out of the box, you can't get that from Microsoft. Second-and it's a problem with many Microsoft products-if you want to get the full potential out of To Do, you need to be using it in a full Microsoft ecosystem. Meanwhile, Microsoft was building a new app from scratch and trying to reach feature parity with the 2015 version of Wunderlist, so it essentially fell behind all the other apps as the years ticked by. First, since 2015, the best to-do list apps have perfected natural language input, created customizable views, and innovated what a to-do list app could be. Wunderlist has been gone for more than a few years now, and yet the app that replaced it, Microsoft To Do, lags behind the best to-do list apps significantly because it's missing so many key features that are at the core of other to-do lists.

When Microsoft acquired the beloved to-do app called Wunderlist in 2015, it said it would discontinue Wunderlist permanently, but only after rebuilding all the best features of that app into a new one to replace it.
