Really great app. Would really like it to sync with the Microsoft To-Do app as well as Wunderlist.
There is already a Wunderlist and Microsoft To-do app and they already sync with the apps on all platforms. There is also a widget for both which also auto-sync if that helps.
What I am hoping for is that they add To-Do to the options to sync with the 'to do' feature in the Launcher. They have Wunderlist but not To-Do.
