Microsoft To-Do Sync Issues

Sadly, MS drove a perfectly fine Wunderlist into the ditch! Wunderlist users did not want to to switch to MS's "To-Do." 

Wunderlist had worked PERFECTLY for YEARS.  Now, since being forced to switch to To-Do, we've had nothing but syncing issuesespecially if someone is at the grocery and someone else adds something to that To-Do list.  The adds either takes forever to surface on other's To-Dos or worse still, the adds never show up!

BTW, MS BURIED the SYNC button way down in the setup menus when it should be handy nearby. That brilliance just makes this worse.  The SYNC button should be easily accessible and clearly visible.  My whole family is irate and so disappointed in To-Do since we were FORCED to migrate from Wunderlist.  

The MS development team responsible for mangling Wunderlist into To-Do needs to fix the syncing issues - NOW!!!

MS needs to stop assimilating perfectly good software and turning it into ****.   I cannot believe this thread is this OLD and customers continue having sync issues as reported for months and months.  Where are those change it by the week CICD pipelines?  Where's the customer responsiveness?   We have nothing but marginal to poor customer support and clearly MS has a very poor understanding of how Wunderlist customers were using the outstanding original product. 

Sadly, my family thinks it is time to start reviewing options for something else that's reliable, functions correctly and consistentlyand is as robust as our beloved Wunderlist did before MS assimilated it, mangled it's follow-on and then terminated the working solution.  Another great example of design by committee likely with little or no attention paid to the customer based they are alienating.  Gotta love it, "We know best...." Nothing has changed at MS in the past 30 years.    RIP Wunderlist.   

One very unhappy "To-Do" family here.   Peace and have a great holiday!

Reluctantly, I migrated and switched from Wunderlist to Microsoft To Do about a week ago. The migration had no issues, other than having to re-set shared lists.

All week, I have been adding lists and tasks to my Microsoft To Do app on my iPhone assuming that those lists and tasks on my iPhone could be synced up to the Microsoft To Do application on my Mac.

Today, I opened the Microsoft To Do application on my Mac waiting for the sync to automatically start. It did not. There are a couple Sync buttons under menu "Help" and "Preference"; however, I think those buttons are related to "migration" and not "Sync" (I am still hoping I am wrong).

A key reason for a To Do list is the ability to sync between multiple devices. I cannot imagine why on earth Microsoft would make this feature only available for select accounts. I am still hoping this is just a small bug, but reviewing this thread it appear like this is a long term issue. Furthermore, I have not found yet a Microsoft response to this thread/issue, which leads me to believe that it may be time to find an alternative application/app that is close to Wunderlist as possible. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I switched back to using Wunderlist shortly after creating this post because I simply couldn't use To Do with broken notifications. Now that Wunderlist is soon to be retired, I decided to give To Do another chance, in the hope bugs had been squashed. Sadly, the exact same issue still occurs for me, so I'm left with no choice but to seek out an alternative.

Thankfully, there appears to be some decent alternatives out there that will allow the importing of Wunderlist data. If anyone has experience of using these, please share.

Thanks.

Microsoft has done this same type of behavior before. There was a great little app called Yammer, a private texting app aimed primarily at businesses, that was purchased and subsequently run into the ground.  I think they may be afraid of a little competition. 

Has Microsoft repsonded to this thread? Wunderlist was so good, intuitively allowing my wife and I to collaborate lists... now frustrating sync issues, notifications take ages. having to text to re-invite my wife onto a list... then it still not appearing on my wife's list. How does Microsoft butcher such an amazingly simple user experience into the most frustrating "let's just ditch this and find a better app" experience? So arrogant not to even reply to customers!!! If you are going to buy an application so that you can take their customers... at least try to keep them! Horrible. 

If microsoft won't respond, and are seemingly not reviewing this thread - please feel free to call out any good list alternatives that we can jump to. Thanks :)

1. I also have the same issue and we are on iOS. We are having syncing problems between the devices.
