Wunderlist 2 review: A beautiful task management app


Wunderlist on all devices

                 I was in need of a task management system that would be available on all devices Android, Apple, kindle , Windows, and which would sync for free without having to upgrade to a paid app. As I searched for an app I came across Wunderlist. I have been using this app for several weeks. Wunderlist has several features like repeated tasks, reminders, collaborating with others, reminders, sub-tasks, lists.

Let's look at what Wunderlist offers
1. Various lists for organizing your to-dos : 
             Wunderlist offers several categories and list which you can use to organize your tasks. It has default categories like Inbox, Starred, Today , Week, All.
 Let's see what each of this category does
Inbox : This is used to send tasks from your email. To use your Wunderlist inbox Send an email from the email id you have used to  register wunderlist. The Subject of the email becomes the task name and the contents in the email get added to the note

Starred: This can be used to highlight the important tasks or the tasks which you are going to do next. You can star mark tasks by clicking on the right star in all the tasks. Opening this category shows start marked tasks.

Today : This shows all tasks with due date as today

Week -  This shows all the tasks which have due dates within a week

All  - Opening this category would show all the tasks in wunderlist,


2. Several features for each task: 
Wunderlist task features

1. Starred tasks:  Marking the star on the task makes the tasks available in the starrred  category discussed above.

2. Repeated tasks - Suppose if you want to repeat a task you can do this by this option. You can choose how frequently you need the tasks to be repeated.

 3. Customizing the task/ organizing in the left panel          
          There is the option of seeing which of the default views you want to see and hiding the others. This option is accessed by holding any of the lists.
 You can also and delete lists .
Wallpaper can also be changed and can be selected from among a few wallpapers wunderlist provides.
