I am anxoius as well only because I have used Wunderlist for 5 years and rely on it heavily. I use it at leace once every 1-2 hours I am awake. I checked out Microsoft's "To-Do" web app today. It is really light on functionality. I am looking forward to a more robust rollout so I can play and test it more.

Thanks for your feedback Jonathan, are there any particular features that you'd like to see?

    I want to see more features in general -  nothing specific. I checked it out and it felt very light. It did not have enough features for me to convert early from Wunderlist to To-Do. I would like to convert as soon as possible so I am ahead of the closing of Wunderlist but I need basic Wunderlist featrures in To-Do such as sublists and list sharing, also folders.

      Hey Jonathan, Subtasks and sharing are something that we're working on. Folders are also on the list but not something that we're working on right now.

        Why are subtasks so difficult, this was part of Wunderlist?

         

        Also, will subtasks work with Outlook Customer Manager since To Do syncs with OCM?

    Hi Polly. Is there a way to automatically add overdue To-Do tasks to My Day?

      You can sort items by overdue, or by due date, within any list. 

       

      This will allow you to see what is over due and then choose only the items you want to complete today and add those to "My Day".

       

      To me this is better than having them automatically added to my day, given that you may actually not be completing them today.

      Not at the moment Salvatore, it is something that we're discussing. The idea behind My Day is not to overwhelm people though. You should only see the to-dos that you are actually going to focus on today. By automatically bringing in overdue to-dos that you don't plan to work on there's the potential to create distractions and lose focus. You can find all your overdue to-dos in Suggestions, however.

        Thanks, Polly.

        For me (and, I think, also for many others), the to-dos that I am actually going to focus on today are exactly my overdue tasks. Hence I would like to have them automatically put in My Day.

        I hope you will give soon this option in settings...

        Regards.
