wunderlist for Mac

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on September 23, 2012

Wunderlist for Mac, signed by 6Wunderkinder, has all the best features of a great to-do-list app, all packed into a very well-designed, uncluttered, intuitive interface boosted with continuous on-screen help. In other words, despite a couple of limitations, Wunderlist helps users keep themselves organized while having fun playing around with the app.

Wunderlist is as easy to set up as it is to use: after users create an account in one easy step, the superbly designed to-do list app opens the default list -- the Inbox. This is where users can start adding their tasks by simply following the on-screen Help, which makes creating tasks a no-brainer. We were able to set up tasks for a couple of days in just minutes, which makes the app very handy. When creating a task, users can use the built-in calendar to choose a date, yet an hourly deadline isn't available, and neither are repeat tasks. These are the only two features we missed while using Wunderlist. We loved how intuitive and easy-to-use the app was; users can prioritize tasks simply by clicking on the star and clear the task by clicking on the checkbox. All the great features of Wunderlist come to the surface if the user has an Android or iOS mobile device, so the tasks can follow them all day long. Wunderlist automatically syncs the devices, so users can browse and edit all their to-dos while on the go, and the update will appear in their Wunderlist inbox on every device.

We loved using Wunderlist, as its polished and intuitive interface made our to-do list management easier than other similar apps on the market. It's a must-have app, although it is not yet perfect.
