1. ★★★★★cross-device sync is unreliable

   Sync issues never end. Unfortunately, MS apps - primarily To Do and OneNote, have had sync issues on/off for 5+ years. They fix the issues for a while and then they come back. At work, home, and on Windows and iOS/Mac. Nice idea, just okay GUI, but horrible execution. BLUF: It’s not reliable. Time to replace.

   Poor UI limits app. My day not being able to be deleted or hidden so priority lists can be on landing page limits the app entirely

3. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

   Refuses to sync correctly. The iOS app refuses to sync correctly with the desktop app. Signing out and in does not fix the issue. Looks like it’s time to find a more reliable to do app. It’s sad to see just how badly Microsoft screwed up the Wunderlist purchase.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Crashes Frequently. About every 30-90 seconds this app crashes, good one microslop

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Phone app missing functionality. Tablet and PC both have functionality to sort by category. Phone app does not. Should be an easy fix for something missing forever.

   IOS Issues. I love To Do and its functions, i love that I can access my lists from all of my work and personal devices. However, I use my iPad Mini as a work hub during the day for work, and the WIDGETS on iOS DO NOT WORK. They are a blank white space, previews do not even load. This is a huge issue for my productivity flow. Please fix!

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bug. When I click on the task to review the setup and stuff it stops working or either like doesn’t just froze everything

8. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Search is broken. Searching by keyword just broken - Doesn’t find all the items

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Crashes constantly. Can’t create new lists without app crashing

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Keeps stalling. The app is usually great but lately it keeps getting stuck. There’s no other way but here to give feedback.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App crashes upon start. App crashes upon start. Don’t use.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Constantly crashes on iOS. Can’t go more than 3 actions without the app crashing. Useless

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Microsoft security is pathetic!. This MS app is so ridiculous! It suddenly needs me to log in every time I open the app. Then, before I enter anything at all it has a red message saying I’ve tried too many times and will have to wait! This isn’t my bank information, it’s a TO DO list !!!!! If I can get signed in somehow (this is the 4th day trying) I’ll copy/paste my list to a much more manageable app! Update: I got away from this terrible app for a few days and tried again. After banging my head against the proverbial wall a few more times I finally did get logged in! I found that I was able to share each entire list (including completed items) and SMS message them to myself. At least I was able to get the list info so I can try a new app. I do appreciate good cyber security, but when it goes so far as to keeping the rightful owner from doing any useful task it’s no longer helpful!!

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unusable - Defective Security System. In order to use this app, Microsoft requires a two-factor authentication security system. You must input a code that Microsoft sends to your alternative email address. However, they never send that email, despite multiple requests to resend it, so you never get a code to enter to use the app. Complete and utter waste of time.

15. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Need an account to use. Why? I just want a good offline useable to do app on my unsupported iPhone that gets no security updates. Oh yeah because I have no idea, why does the latest version need iOS 17 or later? I don’t have that iOS or later but my iPads with iPadOS 16 are super useable still.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Utterly ruined this app. Got worse with every update. Can no longer easily move items around (think grocery list organization). What had been a simple drag and drop operation became an insanely cumbersome process of opening another menu, choosing reorder, and then pressing an up or down arrow dozens of times (and the item moves after each tap. Repeat this for every item and you are adding literally hundreds of steps for a grocery list of 25 items.

17. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    This app sucks. Takes forever to sync, if you leave the app for a text or phone call and go back it will usually lose any info you entered and totally restart to the home page. I only use it because the company I work for uses it, otherwise I would be better off keeping track of work notes via text.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App constantly shuts down when I try to open it on my iPhone (NEED Help!). Used to be great iPhone but NOW Why does the Phone App Constantly shut down immediately after I open it 2 ? Would be 5 star otherwise. Can’t figure it out and of course no live in person service with Microsoft. Unless I’m just overlooking things?? The app works great on laptop b

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Won’t send text verification. I got a new phone. When I try to log in to this app on it it makes me go through the ridiculous are you human thing only to not send a code. If I close and restart the app and click send code again it says this method isn’t working right now, if I try to use my password instead it tells me its wrong even though I know it’s not. There’s no forgot password option and there’s no resend verification code option. Absolutely ridiculous.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Garbage. It wants me to prove im human so i gold my finger down on the bar, it does the check mark and does the three loading dots and i take my finger off and it says try again. How many times do you want me to do it again after a dozen times that I’ve already done it? It’s literally impossible to create an account. This app is total garbage.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t want you to use it. Unless spending an unnecessary amount of time performing tedious bs is also part of your to do list, I’d just use another app. Made logging in so difficult I could’ve just skipped making the list and gotten my stuff done. So much bs worried if I’m a robot or not they forgot to ask if I’m a human who actually wants to use the app

22. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    To Do app won’t open. For a month now the app loaded slowly, and but now it doesn’t load at all. (I can’t delete the app and reload without losing my data.) Unbelievably buggy!

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Widget Incompatible with new iOS. The widget is not visible when setting the homescreen to clear/grayscale using features in the new iOS. The app itself functions fine otherwise

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible. This app consistently does not sync tasks between the desktop and mobile. It is a horrible user experience and that is a shame because this is a wonderful program.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    It ok. It used to let me check my list off and add stuff to my list without having to open the app up. Now I can’t do that no matter what I do. Would have been 5 star if I had that feature back.

26. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Horrible on iOS. Buggy. Freezes. Doesn’t update properly

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Microsoft killed it for my iPad. MicrosoftTo Do ceased syncing on the ipad because they won’t support OS 15.8.6

28. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Cannot view all tasks. Just editing my review to add that this produce is neither fit for purpose nor is it under active development. The user interface has bugs and will crash on you. I can’t remember the last time it got better Old review: So at some point they added an “all tasks” view to the iPhone. But it groups by folder, so…, so help me out here isn’t this just a different, weaker, weaker way to see your folders and the tasks in them? It just doesn’t provide an actual all tasks view.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unstable. App constantly closes

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Widgets are black if you tint or use clear theme for Home Screen on iOS 26. The app itself is great, but widgets are complete blank if you use a tinted or clear custom hole screen.
