Weekly view for To-Do
"My day" panel is really useful, but we also need look and have present always our week goals. The possibility bump all our to-dos help to declutter our mind, but this doesn't have sense if we can't organize or order them. So by this reason think is necesary a week view or a monthly view, even a more especific dayly view (maybe by hour or by morning/afternoon/night) could be really productive.

Integrate with All Microsoft Products
If Microsoft is going to give us a new to-do product, it needs to integrate with all the other existing Microsoft products: Cortana Reminders, Planner, TFS, Outlook Tasks, MS Project.
2,390 votesHi,
We are working on integrations with several other Microsoft services, such as Outlook, Cortana and others. However, we would like to encourage you to vote for specific integrations here in Uservoice instead of voting for this general idea. This will help us prioritize.
Thanks a lot

Natural language support
When entering to-do's you should be able to enter the item with natural language such as "Meeting with John today at 3pm" or any number of a wide range of ways. The app would know that it needs to be done today at 3pm. Other shortcuts should be supported including the reoccurring items such as "the second Monday of each month".
Natural language is faster to enter items vs selecting each field. After you enter the task with natural language there should be some visual que that tells you the system has recognized the item such as date, time, list,…

BUG: synchronisation issues
Windows 10 app has incredible synchronization issues. Sometimes all tasks disappear from the app and then sync once again, but usually not fully.
Similar happens via web - I see there only one third of my tasks.
iOS app seems to be the most reliable.

Task entered in Outlook shows wrong due date in MS To-Do
If I add a new Task in Outlook, set the Due Date as 15 May (as an example) after it syncs Microsoft To-Do shows incorrectly "Sun, 14 May" as Due Date.
When I do it the other way around and add the to-do in MS To-Do and set the Due Date as Mon, 15 May after syncing Outlook correctly shows 15th of May.
I can repro it all the time.
It appears that either you have a bug in reading from your common backend with Outlook or Outlook has a bug in saving there.
