![]() ![]() Poor web-app functionality with a number of bugs not found in the app version.However, before climbing onboard the Microsoft To Do train, it’s worth taking a look at some of the complaints that have been levelled at the Wunderlist app. It may seem logical to move from Wunderlist to Microsoft To Do, which offers everything Wunderlist does, along with a number of customization features not currently offered by Wunderlist. In short, Wunderlist has become so hard to maintain that Microsoft has decided to abandon the app and migrate users to another Microsoft-owned task management application. This has affected the Wunderlist app in a number of ways, including: Wunderlist is being shut down because a gradual withdrawal of technical investment in the app. Existing users will be unable to use the app from May 6th, except to export their lists to its official successor, Microsoft To Do. That’s because Wunderlist has been one of the most popular task management apps out there for the last several years, and it’s shortly going to be shut down entirely. That may be enough for some users, but for others, there’s always Todoist, Google Tasks, and others to explore.The departure of Wunderlist is causing quite a stir, with many users wondering what the Wunderlist app replacement will be and when Wunderlist will be shut down. However, it also has additions Wunderlist never had and a closer relationship with the Office suite. To-Do still has some features, such as Gmail integration, that are missing. Now, we want to dedicate all our time to growing that cross-suite experience that transforms how you achieve your goals and dreams.” “With all our latest updates, we’re confident in To Do being the best alternative for Wunderlist now and so we believe it’s the right time to make the next move. As technology continues to advance, we can’t guarantee that Wunderlist will continue to work as it should, or as we’d like it to,” a spokesperson explained. “We’ve stopped releasing new features and big updates to Wunderlist, so as the app ages it’s become more difficult to maintain. However, the team also said the move was at least partly down to concern about the app’s age. The decision to finally shutter Wunderlist signals that it is now confident in its app as an alternative. By selling Wunderlist alive, Microsoft would be losing out on the users that would migrate to its new, Office 365 integrated service. He offered to buy the app back, but it seems his voice fell on deaf ears. Microsoft was still planning to shut down his app despite the slow progress and its significant userbase. All of this meant that Wunderlist, which was supposed to shut down one year after To-Do’s announcement, is still around.Īll of this culminated in Reber becoming increasingly upset. Porting the API to Azure proved too time-consuming so basically everything had to be re-written. In May last year, former Wunderlist CEO Christian Reber left Microsoft and talked about some of the problems with porting the app. However, reaching feature parity with the old app has been a long and tough journey. Rather than create the exact same app from scratch on Microsoft Azure, the Wunderlist team began working on To-Do. The team talked up the similarities between Wunderlist and To-Do and talked a little about why the migration was necessary.Īt the time of its acquisition, Wunderlist was built on Amazon Web Services. In a blog post, the Wunderlist team announced the app’s closure on May 6th, 2020. When announcing To-Do, the company revealed that it would eventually replace Wunderlist.Īfter close to three years, it seems that time is almost upon us. After its 2015 acquisition, fans worried about its future, and Microsoft confirmed their fears in April 2017. Ten years after its founding, Wunderlist is saying goodbye. ![]()
