Feature request: location based reminders

Another bump for location based reminders in To Do.

It’s a shame that Microsoft often implements features years ahead of the game but then kills off their products (and those features along with them).

For example, back in 2016/2017, I used to use Cortana for location based reminders. It was so easy, just “Hey Cortana remind me to pick up my prescriptions the next time I leave my house” boom done. Had her on my Invoke smart speaker as well as my Surface headphones and my Windows phone. That whole ecosystem is now gone. 

It is frustrating as a customer to invest so much money, time, and energy into Microsoft products for them to just give up on developing them, then ultimately kill them off entirely.

Another example:

In 2016, I had the Microsoft Band 2… first watch-style device I knew of where you could fully type out text messages. There was a hardware issue with the device itself wearing through the non-replaceable band, so they killed the product entirely.

I get that MS can’t be competitive in all spaces but how is it not possible to implement a feature MS had almost a decade ago with Cortana in their basic To Do app in 2024?

Otherwise, love the To Do app and, despite my experiences, am still using MS products because they are great while they last at least.
