Personally I steer away from solutions that try to guide you toward a particular workflow, especially if it contradicts the way I've come to understand GTD. So the thrust of the application seems to be somewhat antithetical to GTD. Clicking an icon will generate automatic suggestions to add to the "My Day" list. There's also a "My Day" list where you're supposed to put anything you should do today. There's a default list labeled "To-Do" which seems to imply that that's where MS thinks you should put your action items. On the other hand, the app seems to be more geared for those who want to create daily to-do lists. For example, you can create multiple lists which can serve as context lists, project lists, etc. I played around with the To-Do preview for a bit today and while it looks Wunderlist-like in some respects. It pays for itself- just as David's book has - many times over. At bottom, I use this thing daily and it a a critical tool for working with my staff. Moreover, I want the company to be around for a long while so that my investment of time in it is not wasted. How would I expect any program with those features to exist unless I paid for them, and not just $3.99? The same goes for the excellent Asana and zen one and OmniFocus (although the latter is not available except on Apple and does not do delegation). Nozbe's excellent implementation of tags, task delegation, complete cross-platform access with uniformity of interface (including wonderful iPhone app!), ease of comment and communications with other team members, ability to associate documents, Evernote comments and lots else make it a fantastic VTD tool for me. (I have Reid every one of the ones listed earlier.). I agree that the right app for any one person is a function of personal taste, in part. There are people who really dig Outlook's mobile calendar. I doubt I'll like To-Do as much as I liked Wunderlist (which I did use for a time) but it's all subjective. Nevertheless I stand by my earlier post in this thread. Microsoft promised to migrate Sunrise's best features over to their Outlook mobile product but most Sunrise users seem to agree that Outlook mobile's calendar is a shadow of what Sunrise was. I would agree that it's unlikely that To-Do will much resemble Wunderlist. As soon as Microsoft announced the acquisition of Wunderlist I figured this would happen sooner or later, just like Microsoft did with Sunrise Calendar. I'm not surprised in the least to hear Wunderlist will be sunset. One would hope things will be better by the time Wunderlist is sunset, but Evernote's problems have been dragging on since January. Crashes, extreme lag, and in my case at least a couple of corrupted notes (their tech support confirmed for me that that last one is a known issue with the client, and not unique to me). Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you're still an iPhone user, Evernote's latest iOS client has been a debacle. The suggestions aren't any good at the moment for me, as it's suggesting items in my projects list, which aren't next actions and so aren't useful suggestions. I do worry that many people will pass it because of its association with Microsoft. I'm reassured by its backend in Microsoft's cloud though, given its proven security. It still feels a little rough around the edges (and it's allowed to, it's preview), but I think really solid foundations are there. All that said, I recently made the switch to Wunderlist as being limited to macOS only really makes having 'one system' an impossibility, and as someone who looks after much of the Microsoft technology stack for my place of work I was excited to see To-Do announced today. OmniFocus just seemed too much to me (for me), but these 2 apps I've found I was most successful with. I really loved Things most of all, so I'm excited about what the new version released in May will bring.
