Microsoft To Do review

Microsoft To Do is the best free app here for people already inside Microsoft's world. Microsoft says it works with Outlook tasks, which makes it a natural place to collect work items next to personal errands. My Day builds a daily or weekly list with intelligent and personalized suggestions, and steps let you break a larger task into smaller items without creating a project. Lists can be shared, and the app syncs across the web, iOS, Android and Windows. Microsoft says you can use it for free, and there is no paid tier. The trade-off is depth. There are no board or calendar layouts, filters are basic compared with Todoist, and there are no habit or focus tools like those in TickTick. If you mainly need a reliable list that matches your Outlook inbox, it costs nothing to try and may be all you need.
