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?

Thanks

  • 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

    We also use this feature and it appears that all the Apple skills that could do this (I think there were 3) have disappeared out of the Apple Alex skills. They been removed from our Apple devices without any warning or notification to us users.  Very disappointing as this was a very useful feature (especially for us older folk who are tech savvy). I hope they can sort this out.

    Looks like this occurred at the same time as the deprecation of Cortana (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/using-cortana-on-ios-or-android-caaa50e4-31f1-4165-9659-3caf125ebd38?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us). Shame as this was a super useful integration.

    Same here. Just noticed this evening that it’s stopped and then realised I can’t find the skill.

    I have the same problem. Not sure when it started but noticed today that things I've asked Alexa to add to my shopping list and to my ToDo list have not appeared in Microsoft ToDo - they are in the equivalent Alexa only lists.  And the Wonder Do It skill seems to have disappeared.  That's incredibly annoying particularly as I got no notification.

      Really a pitty. Same story on my side. I've used the sync between my shared shopping list on MS ToDo with Wonder Do It and Alexa. It worked fine until two weeks ago.

       

      Wonder Do It seem to be an open source project, hosted on GitHub (https://github.com/jenzb/WonderDoIt). A post morten PPTX explains the development of the skill and why the developer stopped this project (no time and the need to re-code to Microsoft Graph API).

      Same issue. My Wonder To Do disappeared in My Skills. Tasks in the Hand is not available either (I’m in the US). It was the skill I used the most. I can’t believe this. It’s so infuriating. Any help us gladly appreciated.

        grrrrr......this has stopped working. The developer did say he had/has to re-register due to a change with Cortana? I will see if disabling/re-enabling helps.
