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.

By task titles I mean their actual names -- when you click a task, details open from the right, and you can edit the title there, adding a #tag which will be blue and clickable. Some call these labels or categories.

 

Right now all tasks coming in from Planner live in the "Assigned to Me" list but being able to move them elsewhere, a list like "Work" or "Project" you've made for example, might come in a later update.

Thanks, Timo.  I wasn't aware of the #tag function, which is nice if I need to categorize things within a list.  I use planner primarily for the calendar view, and being able to set start and due dates, which is really helpful for planning purposes.  But it's easier to manage the tasks in to-do, plus I have other tasks that don't live in my planner.  I guess I'll just have to wait and keep fingers crossed that the functionality of moving planner tasks to lists will be added soon.  Thanks again!
