The app\u2019s success is largely attributed to Microsoft\u2019s acquisition of Wunderlist in 2015, on which To Do was built. While the app is <strong>available on all modern platforms<\/strong>, including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, some features may differ slightly. Recent improvements have made the entire app smarter across all these platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An example of the slight variation in features is that <strong>natural language recognition<\/strong> is already supported on iOS. However, this feature has just arrived for Windows as well. The natural language recognition feature makes the app <strong>smarter and more intuitive<\/strong>. It allows you to type your reminder, and from that, it will <strong>automatically add a due date, reminder, and repeat schedule<\/strong> based on what you typed. For example, you can type a reminder\u2019 Check Softonic daily for news at 11:00\u2019, and the app will automatically set a daily reminder at 11:00. In the past, you\u2019d have to fill out those fields manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Date and time recognition<\/strong> is an optional feature in Microsoft To Do. If you don\u2019t need to set automatic reminders or if the suggestions bother you, you <strong>can switch it off<\/strong>. Alternatively, if you need to type a reminder and the program picks up a date or makes a suggestion that\u2019s wrong, you can simply press backspace to keep the app from using the time or suggestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With useful apps like Microsoft To Do getting smarter all the time, it makes it easier for us to manage our lives and be more productive in everything we do.
