To Do SUCKS

I don't know who--or what team--designed To Do, but it is absolutely horrendous and is no replacement for Outlook Tasks, which gave you a FULL SCREEN to make notes, and it was easy to do (not pun intended) anything, but To Do opens a tiny window in the middle of the screen that CANNOT be resized, so you have a tiny, tiny pane on the right-hand side of this tiny screen to scroll up and down reading notes.  It's beyond horrible.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can someone at Microsoft go back to the drawing boards and make an app that fills the whole screen, can be resized, and is easy to use?!

    I never even used Outlook Tasks. Incredible to hear that they had something better that they replaced with this junk app. Pathetically, I still use it. Did they recently remove the search function? I could have sworn they it at least had that (I seem to recall search completed tasks a time or two). But now I can't find a search bar, and crtl+F does nothing. The best I can do is sort the list alphabetically or creation date and scroll through them like some computer-illiterate.

    I couldn't agree more.  I don't understand why you get rid of something that had been the standard for years and worked perfectly.  Microsoft is notorious for replacing things and the replacement does not do half of what the original app did.   The new Outlook is another prime example.
