To-do Task Reminders Not Always Working
I love using Microsoft To-Do to set up tasks and routines, but often the reminders do not always work. Example: I have a routine set to remind me to give my puppies their morning snack everyday at 6:...
I switched to google tasks. However, I never miss a reminder with G Tasks. It works well with iOS notifications. If I accidentally "dismiss" a notification, it doesn't send my tasks into an unrecoverable tailspin. It simply picks up with the next scheduled reminder of that task. If I go into the G Tasks app itself and mark a number of tasks as completed, that is also reflected on my main notification screen - they just stay in sync, period.
I do prefer To Do's integrated My Day and Planned views - Google Tasks does not seem to have this (I need to look at each list individually which is annoying). I would also prefer the desktop application (outlook) integration... if only it worked.
But, bottom line, I'll choose notifications, synchronization, and reliability over the other supposed bells and whistles. Again I'll ask myself, why am I paying for 365?

Thanks!! Since Chrome is running in the background most of the time anyway I'll give G Tasks a try.
