Microsoft To-Do Sync Issues

I've finally made the switch from Wunderlist to Microsoft To-Do, but it hasn't gone as smoothly as I had wanted.

I am signed into three devices using To-Do: Web client in browser, iPhone and iPad.

I have successfully imported all my tasks from Wunderlist to To-Do, but my reminder notifications aren't showing on my iOS devices. They have successfully synced, but the web client is the only device showing reminder notifications. I have tried closing apps and signing out and back in again, to no avail.

After a little experimenting, the notification will only show on the device where I change the reminder notification time. For example, changing the reminder notification time on the web client results in the notification showing only on that device. The same applies to each iOS device.

Not sure if this is a bug or by design, but I rely on these reminder notifications on different devices to get my things done. I simply can't use it without this ability, which worked perfectly on Wunderlist.

Any suggestions as to where I might be going wrong, or simply some general advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Same issue here with shared lists between two androids. What a disappointment again by MS considering I'm on a full subscription. This needs to be fixed but as usual they don't bother after breaking a perfectly working Wunderlist. Moving on to other app...

    For those having issues with the iOS Reminders app, it appears that if the list is shared, it does not appear in the Reminders app. This is a confirmed issue.

    After reading all the replies - over so many months! - I am dismayed.  Synching issues from iphone X to PC here too.  This is terrible... I knew this app was doomed when Microsoft bought wunderlist.  Extremely disappointed, if not surprised.  Will be leaving microsoft to-do and finding new app for keeping us organized.

    Please fix it, or give my Wunderlist back!

    I am having Micosoft To-do IOS sync issues as well.  What is unsettling is that it is inconsistent.  I happened to notice a few todos on the Windows 10 app that were not showing up on my ipad app.  However, changes were showing up on my Android device.  So it just seems to be the ipad that isnt catching all changes during sync.

    Most of the time they all seem to sync fine, but it is disturbing to run across a few outliers and realize you dont have everything synced.
