Microsoft To Do Tasks Disappeared
Hello, I used to have ~100 tasks in my To-Do application these days. As of yesterday, they have been reduced to ~50. Multiple tasks disappeared from various lists (the lists are all intact). ...
I absolutely understand. Exact same thing has happened to me. I don't ever want to trust MS again. I lost very important stuff. Do you have suggestions on a good alternative to Microsoft To Do?

I've used the TaskTask app on my iPhone for many years, successfully syncing with Windows Outlook. I wouldn't be surprised to see the roll-out of New Outlook (New Coke) to break it.
I too lost many of my tasks when I tried the iPhone To Do app. Note that this was not a browser-caching issue -- the tasks were permanently deleted from my Office 365 Exchange account, synced with Windows Outlook. I tried To Do twice, over a year apart, and each time experienced corruption.
- Wait. So you're using TaskTask even though it syncs with Windows Outlook?
I've spent the past 4.5 hours being bounced around Microsoft Support and have talked to roughly 9 different people. At this point I don't want anything to do with Microsoft and want to switch entirely to Google or elsewhere. So I'm hesitant to use TaskTask if it's involved with Microsoft Outlook. Google Docs, Google Sheets and Wunderlist have never given me these issues. Shocking a big and powerful company like Microsoft can't get something as basic as 'saving your reminders' correct- Right, I have a Microsoft 365 Exchange account accessed by Windows Outlook, iPhone Outlook, and iPhone TaskTask, all of which sync with Exchange. It works well. Only when I try to use To Do do I lose tasks.
