Wunderlist's iOS app uses 3D Touch to increase productivity

The productivity app leverages Apple's 3D touch tech to quickly manage your to-do list.

The company behind to-do list app Wunderlist may have been purchased by Microsoft, but that's not stopping it from churning out fresh updates. Following a new version of its Android app, Wunderlist for iOS now supports 3D touch, and the feature comes in quite handy. From the home screen on your iPhone, a long press on the app's icon gives you access to the quick add feature for easily logging those reminders. Thanks to Wunderlist's Smart Due Dates, that quick add tool automatically assigns deadlines when you include words like "today," "tomorrow" and "Friday." It also lets you know how many items you have due that day and selecting that option takes you straight to those most pressing tasks.

Inside the app, 3D Touch's Peek and Pop serves up a quick glance at a task and disappears as soon as you remove your finger. Need to take a look at the all of the info? A firmer press displays the item's full details. The Peek action will also allow you to change a due date in a flash by tapping on a task and swiping up. Overall, the app sports a design refresh that tidies up the UI and makes browsing lists, finding what you're after and creating tasks much easier. If you're looking to give it a shot, the new version of the iOS app is available at iTunes now.
