Wunderlist creator asks Microsoft to sell him back his biz as Redmond updates To Do READ MORE “We at Wunderlist/Microsoft To Do know what it's like to move your life from one place to another,” it knowingly informs the 0.1 per cent of users that follow the Wunderlist blog before both managing to both dismiss their concerns while making far too much of it at the same time: “Be it a city or an app, moving can be stressful and scary – but, more importantly, exciting and refreshing.” “Join us on our new journey, we’ll be with you every step of the way,” its official announcement is headlined, before inexplicably adding a video of a family of anxious colorful blobs moving into a new shape-neighborhood and being invited to a bizarre circus block party that has literally nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Microsoft is killing off a favourite app and replacing it with an inferior version that requires you to give Microsoft all your personal information. Making matters worse, Microsoft decided to break the news that it was killing Wunderlist by covering its business decision in a thick layer of bullshit before coating that foul concoction with a blanket of sugary sweetness so saccharine it could kill a diabetic at ten paces. To Do is just a standalone app with no real integrations,” complained one unhappy user. “To Do doesn't even work nice with Outlook, like Wunderlist. It doesn’t integrate with Gmail, or have an API to link up other apps. But as comments to the blog post announcing Wunderlist’s impending death have pointed out, Microsoft To Do doesn’t work with Apple products like the Apple Watch, as the current app does, nor is there an iPhone widget.
