Google Keep vs. Microsoft To Do

Being able to add a note on the fly to a "to-do" list or add a needed item to a "grocery" list with ease. It's handy being able to access it from practically anywhere. I often find myself needing to do a task and pulling out my phone to add it to my to-do list.

Wunderlist is a fantastic task management system, not the best project management system. For a long time, I tried to use Wunderlist to plan large events with multiple users and it wasn't as effective. But, once we simplified our desired outcome to accomplishing tasks that repeat or are unique to a given work-week, we had much more success. Now my assistant can manage her weekly tasks and give feedback through this app. I can also add tasks, assign them and see what is being accomplished

• It's incredibly quick to load, it doesn't take long to pull up any note you have no matter how much information is in the note.
• The ability to collaborate on a Google Keep note is also great! It allows for two or more of you to work on a project in one space.
• I also love that I can color coordinate. I can make all my meeting notes one color, my personal notes another color and so on.
• Enjoying the pinning feature that allows me to keep my important notes right at the top so I don't have to go searching for them when needed.

• Smart due dates are the greatest thing about Wunderlist. I can tell it to "print past due reports on Monday" and then set that up as a repeating event.
• It's clutter free. When I'm creating or assigning tasks I like to have a distraction free area to think, and the simplicity of Wunderlist gives me that.
• The fact that I can look at it on my phone, on the web, and on my PC and it always looks the same is great. I can always tell what I'm doing b/c of their consistent design choices.

• The iOS app sometimes gets into a state and doesn't update your notes (won't show new notes from other devices / computer), needs to be re-installed to resolve
• Your notes take up space in your Google account's quota, though this is not very apparent at first - you have to keep an eye on what you are storing - huge pictures better not go in there

• Sub-tasks should have their own separate due dates
• The main list needs some more intuitive tools to sort the list in any way I choose
• Hovering over links should show a description of how to use it. For example, it would have been nice to know right away that double-clicking on a task is the way to open the details list.

It does everything I need it to do. It is easy to organize and categorize what I need and what I want to see.

I believe Wunderlist is the best to do management app on the planet. So far we are extremely satisfied with the performance.

Google Keep is very easy to use. Currently, the company I work for has employees from different age brackets, and this is one of the easiest apps on G-Suite to explain. Not a lot of people use it, but it is due to personal choice since a lot of people still prefer pen and paper to keep their notes.

The actual user interface and the way to navigate around the app is very intuitive and easy to learn/use which would make me give it a high ranking, but the syncing issues drop down my rating because there are times where you add an item to the list and then it just disappears. Then when you add it again the sync will happen and now you have duplicates. The other negative with the usability is adding extra information to an item, such as files or comments or assignments. You can do it but it's difficult to tell which items have this information from the main screen. You have to click on them individually.

I gave this rating based on the ease of use, the simple functionality and how well it does at keeping my attention and helping me continue to use it and stay on track. The functionality mentioned before alongside the reminder functions and how it utilizes Google's powerful machine learning tech to better its software is remarkable.

I have not had an issue where I needed to reach out to Wunderlist, but I know their contact and online chat is easy to access and feel confident that they would be helpful. My only worry is Wunderlist is becoming Microsoft to-do in May 2020, and I believe the app will become worse after that.

I used to use Evernote before Google Keep, it is an excellent product too but I found it too heavy. At the time (not sure about now) it always wanted to download all your notes onto your device before you can start using it. Google Keep is more a cloud product, so it's lighter on your device, it doesn't download every note you have at once. Also I tended to store a lot of heavy things in Evernote because it seemed to encourage me to do that, like large photos and documents. Google Keep encourages me to focus on text only mostly, though it will take a photo as part of the note as well. I also like Google Keep because it is a part of my Google Account and integrates with other Google products.

It's a small tool compared to bigger project management software, but we found that they work perfectly together. It helps you declutter the larger PM tools, keep your smaller tasks in-line and make sure they get completed. When you're working in a creative agency, ideas and tasks are flying around, so having a tool like this that keeps you accountable and reminds you of your tasks is a must!

• We reduced the number of meetings of teams and companies by 5 times because now all participants have access to comments and know at what stage the project is located.
• Simple to use common to-do lists allow you to manage the projects of the group and give all its participants a clear idea of who is responsible for each task. There is no need to waste time explaining the business processes and responsibilities of team members
• Wunderlist for business stores all group correspondence together with tasks.
• This is convenient for all participants and for management because sometimes important moments are lost in other messengers or chats. Now you can do everything in one application. The number of problems with this
