Microsoft To-Do is a personal task management app that empowers users to track and focus on the things they need to get done. With apps for Android, iPhone, Windows 10, and the web, Microsoft To-Do is also on every device you are, syncing automatically and securely via the Microsoft Tasks API, meaning your data lives in Exchange and automatically integrates with Outlook Tasks.
How can I manage my organization's use of Microsoft To-Do?
User-level licenses for Microsoft To-Do have rolled out to tenants in most Office 365 subscriptions, so customers can configure their access to Microsoft To-Do for Windows, iOS and Android on an individual basis.
In addition to controlling access to the app, users with enabled licenses for Microsoft To-Do see the Microsoft To-Do tile in the Office 365 App Launcher (in the “All apps” section) and on the Office.com portal (in the “Explore all your apps” section).
Please note that visibility of the tile depends on users having enabled licenses for Microsoft To-Do and Exchange Online.
Are there any requirements or prerequisites for Microsoft To-Do?
Use of Microsoft To-Do with a work or school account is subject to a few conditions. In addition to an enabled license for Microsoft To-Do, users will also need mailboxes in Exchange Online for tasks in Microsoft To-Do to sync and store. Since these are crucial functions of the app, users without cloud-based mailboxes through Exchange Online will not be able to use Microsoft To-Do .
Note: Microsoft To-Do on the web will soon no longer require a To-Do license, as it's being made a part of Outlook on the web, which is licensed through Exchange Online.
How compliant is Microsoft To-Do and the underlying service behind it?
Since Microsoft To-Do uses Exchange Online for data storage and synchronization, customers benefit from the reliability, security and compliance they've come to expect. Data is encrypted at rest on Exchange servers and in transit to and from the Microsoft To-Do app on your browser or device.
The Microsoft To-Do web app hosted on https://to-do.office.com is developed according to industry compliance standards (as are the native apps for Microsoft To-Do) and the web app has also been through audits, such as the SOC 2 (Service Organization Controls) Type 1 audit.

What’s New
Don’t worry, you didn’t time travel every time you checked off a task—we fixed a bug which showed that your task was completed yesterday when you had only just checked it off.
We also fixed an issue that didn’t update the date on recurring tasks.
Were you getting overwhelmed by all the red dates on completed tasks? We were showing them as overdue, but we’ve changed them back to black now.

Needs a lot of work
I am a physician and a scientist who requires a good to-do app to keep everything straight on a daily basis. Wunderlist was really the perfect tool for this, allowing me to organize and share tasks with lab members and clinical colleagues. When I learned it would eventually replace wunderlist, I decided to give To-Do a solid try. I imported all my lists from wunderlist, familiarized myself with all of To-Do’s features, and used it in place of Wunderlist for a good week. Unfortunately, a year after it’s unveiling, To-Do still needs a lot of work. The lack of a way to group related lists and the inability to automatically place tasks that are due today into the “my day” folder are critical deficiencies. Sure you can click the lightbulb in the “my day” folder and select all the upcoming tasks with the help of “suggestions,” but many (like me) cant remember to do that on a daily basis. The point of a to-do app is to make remembering all of your daily tasks unnecessary. I had so many issues with missing things (I literally have a hundred tasks some days) that I had to switch back to Wunderlist within a week. I know that the Microsoft team is working hard on To-Do behind the scenes. I plan to keep checking in and switch to to-do once it truly integrates all the features of wunderlist.
Simple, Clean, and Extremely Useful
Sounds cliché, but I never write reviews. Having noted that obligatorily, I simply love this app. I’ve used several other task list apps for years, including Wunderlist. This is simple to use, clean, and available on all the platforms I use. I should note that I use a Windows 10 PC for work, and the Windows 10 To-Do app is just as good or better, in my opinion. I love that it automatically syncs with Outlook’s task feature, and that flagged emails show up as tasks as well. I didn’t get the necessity of the “My Day” feature at first, but it’s become such a simple yet powerful method to focus on particular tasks so as not to get overwhelmed.
The icing on the cake, and what prompted me to even write this review, was finding out that one of my MS To-Do lists can be set as the default Reminders list for iPhone, meaning that when I ask Siri to set a reminder, it now sets it on my chosen MS To-Do list.
There are certainly some features that I love to see added, and from what I can tell, many are in the pipeline, but even as it is this has proven to be an extremely useful tool, and my favorite task app to-date!

Much Better than the Rest Including Wunderlist!
ToDo Microsoft
I have struggled with this app over the last year always going back to gtasks and Due after giving up on To Do after a few days each time. It is now my main app. I love it. I surprisingly have grown to love the way the My Day disappears every night. It's very fast to repopulate every morning and you can scrutinize the list and just leave out the unnecessary ones. I have tried probably 10 todo apps and I'm kind of surprised that this one is by a good margin the best. However, why start the week on SUNDAY? Why not Monday as the Desktop version. Why not give options/customizing for snooze the way the excellent Due app does? Also, the Reminder later today or tomorrow is lame. Again, they can learn a lot from Due. Why not be customizable or just make it remind me in 1 hour as an option? Anyway, congratulations on some significant improvements!

Developer Response,
I'm really sorry to hear that you're not getting along with the My Day view - we are working to improve this experience so it's easier to see your previously committed tasks. You can use the new Planned Smart List to see all your upcoming tasks with a Due Date as an alternative.
