Microsoft To Do not working on Mac OS

I have switched from Wunderlist to Microsoft To Do, and have added it to my iPhone and iPad with no problem. I also downloaded it for my iMac at home (OS 10.15.3) and it worked for a little while. Ho...

Thank you for your reply. MS To Do seems to sometimes work/not work on all my devices and synching has always been problematic.

 

several years ago I received a response from MS recommending I uninstall/reinstall the program. I was concerned that I would lose years worth of lists that I wanted to consolidate, so I never took the step to uninstall the program. It seems to me that this is not a drastic thing to do and that it would not delete  my years of to do lists and I’m thinking about pursuing this fix. I could never find the note from Microsoft to review and complete this procedure.

 

The disturbing part is that you and others have said that you have done this procedure, and it has not worked. I really like the format of to do and the program which was its predecessor, but it seems to me that the program is problematic, and there’s almost no support for Microsoft. Can anybody recommend alternate programs to do the same function? 

 

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

I would log in to the browser version to make sure that all your lists are on your account. Then you can always try to re-install the app when you know everything is stored on your account already.

    Thank you very much! I will do that!

     

    At least on my iphone and ipad it takes more than 10 seconds to boot up! Do you have that issue, too?
