A shabby substitute for Wunderlist

I've been using Wumderlist for years and have absolutely loved that product. So, while I'm happy for the team that they were aquired by Microsoft, I am really frustrated with the feature set of MS To Do as compared to Wunderlist. For example, Wunderlist let you type in a task with a bulit in reminder. (e.g. Set up a call with client x at 11:00am) and it would show the task as "Set up call with Client X" with a reminder attatched to that task which would trigger at your specified time. With MS To Do you it will ignore any time parameters you input as text. You have to go into a separate screen and set up a reminder manually. That's stupidly inefficient for an efficiency-focussed app. MS task also doesn't seem to remove completed items like wonderlist did, so your lists become cluttered and hard to parse. And, the reminders, when they are set, often get stuck in a recursive loop and cannot be dismissed without force quitting the app. Initially I thought MS bought Wunderlist to invest in it and make it better. But it's clear, they just wanted to kill a great little competetor to release their own garbage version. I am so disappointed. Clearly I need to find something else. RIP Wunderlist. You were truly a great little product and I miss you terribly.
