Microsoft Lists, the task management app by Microsoft, has recently become available for everyone to use. Initially launched in 2020, Microsoft Lists was originally limited to business and enterprise users. However, last year, Microsoft opened up a limited preview of the app for consumers. Now, anyone with a Microsoft Account can access the free version of Microsoft Lists through iOS and Android apps, as well as on the web.
Microsoft Lists aims to provide users with the ability to create, manage, and share lists across devices. The app offers ready-made templates for various tasks, such as expense tracking, recipe making, and gift ideas. This enables users to easily organize their information and collaborate with colleagues, friends, and family members on a shared list.
One of the key features of Microsoft Lists is its flexibility in terms of views. While it has a basic grid-like view of lists, users can also switch to a calendar view or customize the layout, similar to popular task management platforms like Asana and Airtable. Additionally, Microsoft Lists allows users to export lists to CSV files, making it convenient to import data into other apps and services.
Garima Wadhera, a principal program manager at Microsoft, expressed excitement about the potential for users to create and share valuable information during the preview phase of Microsoft Lists. Wadhera encouraged users to take advantage of the app’s personalized, mobile-first experience to create, use, and share information with anyone, anywhere.

Overall, Microsoft Lists offers a user-friendly solution for task management and information tracking. With its availability on multiple platforms and the ability to collaborate with others, the app can be useful for individuals and teams across various domains. As the app continues to develop, it is expected to provide even more features and improvements to enhance the user experience.
