CNET Editors' review
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.

"Meh. Marginally useful."
Version: wunderlist 2.0.1
Pros
Syncs across platforms (desktop and iPhone)
Cons
Only one priority option.
Does not order task list by due date.
Lumps overdue tasks into Today (new version).
Needs 2x-click to bring up due date calendar (new version).
No reschedule shortcuts (Today, Tomorrow, 2 Days, One Week, etc) on desktop or iPhone.
Uses Apple's cumbersome scrolling calendar for due date/time selection on iPhone.
No repeating task option.Summary
I guess I'm spolied by Palm's ToDo function, which had a lot of options. I'm also quite disappointed in the iPhone's lack of a native task manager (and a primitive appointment calendar). I tried using the first version of Wnderlist and was hoping for enhancements in the new version, but it actually took away some of the functionality of the first one and did not add the features I like.
Since Palm does not sync with my Win 7, 64-bit PC, I have to waste time investigating the plethora of mostly incomplete GTD apps for iPhone that have a PC desktop counterpart to find a decent replacement. Wunderlist is not it. :-( -
"The best to-do list"
Version: wunderlist 1.2.3
Pros
Wunderlist is compatible with every major operating system, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone. And it gives you the ability to manage your to-do list from anywhere, thanks to the online sync. It even has a web app.
While I can only speak for the Mac and Android versions, the app is a treat to use. Tasks can be dragged and dropped with ease. The interface is positively uncluttered. Ticking off those tasks feels so satisfying.
Online syncing is the best feature. It works painlessly in the background, and unlike some applications (I'm looking at you, Evernote) it doesn't put up a fuss if your internet is temporarily down.Cons
There are a few more features it needs, like the ability to sub-divide tasks, or add recurring events. I hope they implement these soon.
Summary
I tried many others, including Producteev, SimpleTask and iProcrastinate. But Wunderlist is the one for me. And it's free! I recommend it to my friends, and I recommend it to you too.

"A great application for Getting Things Done"
Version: wunderlist 1.0.0
Pros
It is extremely easy to use, it looks beautiful and you can sync your tasks with a free wunderlist account.
Cons
I cannot find any negative thing about wunderlist. I like it from head to toe.
Summary
I like wunderlist a lot and especially the team that stands behind this product. I cannot wait to the see the upcoming iPhone app.
