In this case, the one year anniversary of To-Do happens in about four weeks which means we may have another year of this waffling between the two services. Lists are one of the main features I use Alexa for, and syncing Alexa with my Hotmail Tasks on my desktop and Microsoft ToDo App on my phone is a must (Hotmail Tasks and Todo lists are the same). When I was in graduate school, I had a professor tell me that the best way to determine the true length of an IT project is to take your best estimate and multiply it by two. I was using the Wonder Do It skill for years, but now it is gone.
The project as it stands right now is in some sort of migration-hell that has essentially destroyed the fan-base for Wunderlist thanks to missed deadlines and with To-Do being half-baked Microsoft has royally botched this acquisition and transition between platforms.
The issue? Wunderlist API runs on AWS and is in the process of being ported to Azure but since it needs to include Exchange/Office integration, this port is taking much longer than initially expected. Thanks to a few tweets by Christian Reber, translated by, we now have a better understanding of what happened behind the scenes but still no timeline for the app being turned off.Īccording to his tweets, the initial plan was to introduce To-Do and stop development of Wunderlist but that hasn’t gone according to plan. But, as time passed, Microsoft said that Wunderlist would live-on a bit longer but that the plan was to still transition over to To-Do when the app was ready.Īs I have often wondered out loud, the transition is taking a lot longer than many anticipated, the messaging about the future of Wunderlist is confusing, and many users didn’t know what to expect or when Wunderlist will actually be shut down. When Microsoft bought Wunderlist, the company announced that the app would eventually be shut down and that To-Do would take its place.
