I get it, if I were a tech heavyweight with lots of cash and wanted to eliminate the competition, I’d have done just the same. The popular list and task management app was acquired by Microsoft in 2015 and while many were hoping that the tech giant would somehow incorporate Wunderlist into their Office repertoire, it seems that after years of a “will they? Won’t they” scenario, they’ve decided to shut it down. It had 13 million users and more than 1 billion to-dos at the time of the acquisition. What’s significant about this shutdown-compared to other app shutdowns-is that Wunderlist’s discontinuation isn’t because of a decline in sales or poor user count. Either they can export their lists from Wunderlist to be used in To Do or they can download and open To Do and use the Wunderlist importer using a link in the app's settings.As you may have already heard, Wunderlist is due to shut down on the 6th of May, 2020. Wunderlist users that want to make the switch to Microsoft To Do have two options. Also as Wunderlist ages, it will become even more difficult to support the app. The company also integrated To Do with its other apps and services including Outlook, Microsoft Planner, Cortana and even the Microsoft Launcher on Android.Īccording to Microsoft, the company decided to shut down Wunderlist because it has stopped releasing new features for the app. As Microsoft prepares to end support for Wunderlist, the company has been working hard to ensure that the app's favorite features such as list groups (folders), steps (subtasks), file attachments, sharing and task assignments all make their way over to To Do.īack in September, Microsoft added backgrounds, smart lists and a personalized daily planner that provides smart suggestions on which tasks should be accomplished over to its own to-do app.
