Alexa and To Do not syncing

We use the Alexa shopping list and sync it to MS To Do. It has been working great, but just stopped. Looking for the the Wonder Do It skill seems to be 'gone'?  Anybody else do this? Having problems...

    I just noticed I have the same issue. I was using the Wonder Do It skill. I found somewhere online that the I you can download the skill called Tasks in Hand instead. I tried this but it’s not working, I think because I have an office 365 business account and not a personal account. Let me know if any of you make any headway

Same here. Just a one-way feed from amazon shopping ==>ms todo. it works 'good enough' to get things into the list. the important thing for my wife and I is that it is a shared list, so either can add.

also, if we don't have a good internet connection in the stores, as we delete things off of the ms todo list, they don't necessarily get deleted from the amazon list. this builds up over time, and i start getting 'already have it on the list' messages. So, I have to go in every few weeks and manually check-off items in the Amazon list, to get it cleaned out.

Not the best of solutions, but works for our VERY limited requirements/needs.

I know folks are recommending Any List and other list applications, but I use Microsoft To Do to sort to-do tasks. It allows me to drag items up/down, add notes, flag them with stars, etc. That's different from a shopping list where I might divide items into produce, dairy, etc. I love Microsoft To Do for managing tasks and am bummed that I can no longer add items to it via Alexa (previously I might say, "Alexa, a 'Prepare finance report to my to-do list'"), No longer.
