I fully share the opinion of Neal Rowland: Microsoft To-Do needs many additional functions to be implemented. If there is a task reminder, I can only decide to have me reminded later (probably 5 minutes) or I mark the task as completed. This is absolutely not satisfactory. If I need to be reminded 2 hours later, I would have to push the button 24 times... This is crazy. Why not simply add the ordinary windows choices for reminders?

As Neal put it: adding subtasks with percentages would really be an asset. I would also need the possibility to unmark a whole list of completed tasks for repetitive actions, like for exemple a travel abroad where I have to take care for the same range of actions. 

The surface is nice, but the functions still extremely limited.

Hi Erwin, thanks for the feedback. You're right notification delays aren't perfect right now and we'll certainly be looking at them. We don't have one button for uncompleting tasks but on desktop you can select all your to-dos by clicking the first, holding down shift, clicking the last to-do and then choosing Mark as not completed in the context menu (right-click).

    Great tip. I didn't know you could do the shift select.
