Planner vs To-Do
Microsoft just released To-Do, a task app that will eventually replace Wunderlist. When should we use Planner and when should we use To-Do? Thanks for the help.

I am grateful for it, no doubt!
But Planner tasks are not listed in "Planned". (Confirmed in iOS, browser, and Microsoft App.)

Sorry to hear that! Would you mind checking to see if their due dates are in the past and if so, they're not in the usually collapsed "Overdue" section of the "Planned" view?
I can confirm that Planner tasks with due dates in the future do appear in the "Planned" smart list, and Planner tasks with due dates in the past appear in the "Overdue" section of the "Planned" smart list.
Planner tasks without due dates do not appear in "Planned".
@ don't always use due dates. I just have a list of tasks that I pick from as I have time to work on them. I'd prefer that the Tasks pane be able to show me the To-Do tasks and the planner tasks in a list. Could make it toggle-able for those that might not want it.
- I like this suggestion! I would also like a live search field to narrow down the tasks displayed.
I suppose we really ought to be discussing this in the announcement thread.

Ah, well due dates and reminders are what makes things show up in "Planned" :)
Is your request for something like an "All tasks" view, then?
Timo YatesThat's what the "Tasks" view is now isn't it? It shows me all the tasks that I have whether they have dates or not. I just don't want to have to go to two different areas to see all my planner tasks and all my ToDo tasks. That's what I have to do now...
