We currently have an Alexa integration via Cortana – https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?p=all&s=integrations&f=how-to-use-to-do-with-alexa-via-cortana.
It’s still in Preview so is only available for US English at the moment.

Please add support for native integration ("Alexa, add bread to my grocery list"). The Cortana integration is PAINFUL to use.

Cortana RIP.
Needs native and seamless bidirectional integration to actually allow smart, intuitive management of To Do items by voice (easy add specific items, to specific lists, with attributes such as when and who, and also query via voice for pending items due today)

Cortana integration with ToDo broke for me two weeks ago. So, even that poor excuse for a solution doesn't work anymore. Being a Microsoft fan, it pains me to say I'll probably be switching to Todoist.

I tried two 3rd party Alexa skills and they were horrible. Polluted my whole todo with thousands of duplicates tasks. So yeah, please make a proper skill.
Preferably in the first stage just with one list I can select and in the future it would be nice to tell Alexa which list I want to add something to.

Native Alexa support please; Cortana integration is slow and not intuitive.

I've tried the Alexa/Cortana integration - it is cumbersome, slow, and basically useless. Stop trying to force people into the Microsoft walled garden, and invite them in with robust native integrations with Google Assistant and Alexa. To Do is a great standalone product, the problem is that no one needs a standalone to do list manager today. Integration is part of what made Wunderlist so popular, and after all these years, you still don't have it.

Alexa support via Cortana is helpless. Ask one Assistant to open another assistant. bullshit

We need native skill for Alexa and also in Spanish, not only English

having to open Cortana first is a show stopper. If it is not a native Alexa skill that syncs with Alexa bi-directionally then you don't have Alexa integration. Wonder Do It integration is lame, unreliable, and does not sync bi-directionally.

I'm one of the few with a Cortana speaker (HK Invoke) and love it, but you can't buy that speaker anymore. Alexa will be the smart speaker in the rest of my house. Todo needs native Alexa integration like Todoist, Any.do, and AnyList. If Todo is not added as a native list app people will just stop using it.

Needs to be native integration, to match the functionality that other to-do aps have (e.g. todoist, any.do). Having to do it via Cortana isn't a practical answer.

Cortana is your baby, I know. But I'm sorry to tell you that nobody uses it. Alexa has won the race....

Native integration is a must. Adding items to a Todo list should be simple and require few voice commands to accomplish this task. Anyone who has tried the integration with Cortana/Alexa understands how annoying it is to say all the additional commands. Not a good user experience at all.

I would like to have a full Amazon Alexa integration (with the Alexa App and the Amazon Echo devices).
So I can add tasks via Alexa and get reminders via Alexa.
I really think about switching to Todoist, where this is already possible.
The preview integration is unfortunately only available for US English. -
