Technical issues to blame for slow migration of features from Wunderlist to Microsoft To-Do

Early on last year, Microsoft launched its new To-Practise app, announcing plans to eventually retire Wunderlist, which the company acquired in 2022, at the same time. Microsoft didn't provide an verbal timeline for Wunderlist's retirement, only the company did confirm it would occur once it had "incorporated the all-time of Wunderlist into To-Do." To-Do hasn't evolved much since then, leaving users frustrated. Notwithstanding, contempo comments from Wunderlist founder Christian Reber, first reported by Dr Windows, have given some insight into what's property things upwardly.

According to Reber, who is no longer with Microsoft, the original goal was to have Microsoft To-Practice ready within one yr. However, the team has come across bug porting Wunderlist's API from Amazon Web Services to Azure, throwing a wrench in the works. "Wunderlist's API runs on AWS, and should then be ported to Azure," Reber says. "Simply that was extremely expensive, so everything had to be rewritten (also for Exchange/Role integration). Only it'southward easier said than done, so it takes and then long."

Reber also noted that the process "was not a pleasant experience," but wished the To-Do team success.

It'southward still not entirely clear when the full breadth of Wunderlist features Microsoft wants to port over to To-Do volition be integrated, but the company has recently fabricated some of its plans a little more than concrete. In February, several features, such as Cortana integration and list sharing, were confirmed to be in the works on the Microsoft To-Exercise UserVoice page. Nonetheless, for now at to the lowest degree, Wunderlist arguably remains the better option.
