How can we improve Microsoft To Do?

Smart due dates.

This was in the older versions of Wunderlist and was one of the best features. Would be great to be able to write in the task, followed by "by Next Tuesday" and have it pick up the due date automatically.

    It would be great if we are able plan - get reminded and track actuals of the planned activity in a simplified dashboard

    Really need this for Windows and browser access. I deal with Court deadlines frequently and having "in 45 days" do something meaningful in Todo is relegated solely to my phone at the present time.

    Please, ToDo-Team, add smart dates to the macOS and Android Version..it´s one of the biggest things which let me think about to change to an other app and I think I'm not alone.

    I'm using a Mac, so I can't say if this is available on Windows by now or not.
    It is definitely available on iOS, so PLEASE add this to the Mac Version as well, Microsoft.
    I like the tool very much, but I can't understand how anyone would work without having relative and absolute dates typed as text be converted into due dates.
    This is the part of this application that makes this "productivity tool" "productive" for me.

    Please add smart dates.

    I still find myself typing them into tasks. It's a real thing. I'm a kind of user, who really likes to add tasks fully from keyboard without switching to mouse few times for a task.

    This is the number one thing i miss about the switch to this app from Wunderlist. Every new task i write i type in a due date because that feature was so wonderful, and then i get frustrated when the app doesn't read it and i have to both go through a series of clicks to asign a due date and edit the name of my task.

    I switched to use zenkit instead MS todo. Without Quick Add and Smart Due Date, wunderlist is not itself and MS todo is nothing more than any normaly todos apps.

    Nothing differences!

    This is one of the bid disappointments in microsoft to do. I am one of the late movers cause i was very attached to Wunderlist, and I just discovered that smart due dates is not a feature.
    If you can't add it, then please give us back Wunderlist. We're talking about a productivity app that should be intuitive enough to save time by typing the date and the app translate it into a due date.
    If you visited my "well being toolkit" channel on you tube, you'll find me recommending Wunderlist based on many features it had including the smart due date.
    appreciate your support in having that back please.

    What the heck guys,
    Microsoft Azure provides non-developers with an ability to create chatbots, which can conduct meaningful conversations with a human and Microsoft To Do Developers still unable to find a substring in a string?
    I see asks for Smart Due Dates every half of a year and Microsoft still can't add it...
    Nonsense....

    If you combined this entry with all other suggestions that have to do with "smart due dates" you might have a considerably higher vote total for this improvement.This was one of the most helpful tools for me as it allowed me either to speak voice command or to type in the due date all in one action without having to tap on the due date and reminder in three or more actions. Wunderlist had this one right!

    This was a HUGE efficiency in Wunderlist - get it done please Microsoft.
    Add the new to do bar to the top of the page too please?! What the?
