Introducing Microsoft To-Do in April 2017 The experience of using it is gratifying and it is elegantly designed. So, with the introduction of ToDo, I was at first excited (hearing the Wunderlist team was involved) and then became disappointed after a month of using the new app. And, yes, I know it is in “Preview.” But, you can just use the excuse of Preview for so long.
