“My take with what happened with Yammer is more of, I think, they took Yammer’s approach to developing software and applied it to all of Microsoft 365. When Microsoft bought Yammer, I thought it was more about Yammer’s approach to software than the software itself – from : I am sure the team at Microsoft has plenty of engineering/technical reasons why starting a new makes sense.īut they didn’t do this with Outlook for iOS (or Yammer), so there is a precedent. They would nail the basics – after all, we’re talking about a task list here. It may feel good to include artificial intelligence features as part of the new program – but this is not something that the original Wunderlist team would do. From reading reviews, it sounds like using the My Day feature is something people are interested in – but I’ve just starred tasks to signal tasks that I’m focusing on that day. Again, as I suggest in my review, I would just like this all done in Outlook (Two screen setup – Outlook on one and Chrome on another). The one promising point about Microsoft To-Do is I love the idea of one place for my tasks so finding out To-Do works with Outlook/Exchange tasks sounded great. Here are the most recent reviews (these make my two stars look generous): I’m not alone and things are not getting better. Here’s my review after using To-Do for a while: From a user’s standpoint, the experience has been frustrating. And, yes, I know it is in “Preview.” But, you can just use the excuse of Preview for so long. 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. Introducing Microsoft To-Do in April 2017 The experience of using it is gratifying and it is elegantly designed. So, you could say I’m a big fan of Wunderlist ( along with Satya Nadella). You can assign tasks with due dates, notes/file attachments and carry on a conversation by making comments. The killer feature for Wunderlist for me was the ability to work in teams.You can use Wunderlist everywhere (your email, your web browser, your iPhone, you Galaxy Tab, your Surface, your Windows 10 desktop, your Apple Watch, etc.).As I mentioned in the post, they (Wunderlist) focus on the “quality of the features, not the number.” I was hoping that the user experience of using Wunderlist would influence the future of Microsoft 365.I wrote a blog post to give my reasons why: I was really excited in 2015 when Microsoft announced the acquisition of Wunderlist. Microsoft acquires Wunderlist in June 2015 Please leave your opinion in the comments section at the bottom of the page. But still, it’s just one person’s opinion. As you will read, he’s quite passionate about this topic. In this article, I’d like to explain why I believe this was a mistake (and what it will take to turn the ship around if Microsoft stays the course).Įditors Note – This reflects the opinion of one person at ThreeWill. Microsoft took the approach of discontinuing support for Wunderlist and create a brand-new app called Microsoft To-Do. When Cortes burned his ships upon arriving at the new world, he forced his men to either succeed or die (actually, he scuttled his ships – and this can be an effective tactic).
