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.

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,…

Push notifications when shared list is changed by someone else
I see the "Share lists" idea to be supported by many and also STARTED already, which is great. However, what I am missing a lot in all apps like Wunderlist, Onenote, Keep and others is the option that the app will notify me when someone else updates shared list.
It was great how this worked in the past in "Family room" feature that was discontinued on Windows phone. We were sharing Onenote lists in family room and every family member was notified when someone else changed something. Since that times none of to-do apps with sharing is capable to do…
617 votesWe are working on enabling Push Notifications for Actions in Shared Lists. These will come To-Do with a future version of the app.

Copy and Paste Lists and Tasks
This was a really handy feature in Wunderlist - the ability to copy/paste both lists and tasks...
I had a number of template lists which I could copy if I needed. For instance, a generic list of holiday items to pack which would be copied/pasted each time I went on a new trip.
Thankfully - the excellent integration with Outlook means I can do this at the Outlook end, and it'll be replicated in To-Do! :)
294 votesOn Windows and Web you can already duplicate lists or tasks—right click on the list in the sidebar, or on the task and you can choose to Duplicate list or Copy task.

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.

When adding to "My Day," have a drop down menu of your lists to choose which list the task goes with.
I work for two different Realtors plus I have a personal list. I'd like to be able to add a task to My Day without first having to go to the appropriate list, add the task, then click "add to my day."
