Do you have notes and event reminders across various apps and services? If one of those apps is Outlook.com for iOS or Android, you can now link up to Wunderlist, Facebook, and Evernote and see everything in one place.

Wunderlist Outlook integration

"By connecting your calendar with a wide range of services, Outlook will be able to provide you with a far better view of your day, week, and months ahead," Microsoft said in a blog post.

With Facebook connected, Outlook can display any event you're invited to or have accepted, as well as your friends' birthdays. You can also RSVP to Facebook invites within the Outlook app. Anything else will require switching over to the Facebook app by tapping the "Open in Facebook" button.

With Wunderlist, all your to-dos will appear in the calendar app's All Day section. To link up, "simply swipe from the left while in Outlook's calendar and next to Calendar Apps tap the Add button," Microsoft says.

Evernote's appearance in Outlook is nothing new; it's already available as an add-in for Outlook.com and Office 365. With the mobile app integration, you can set a reminder for a note, and it will automatically appear in your calendar.

The calendar app's new integration capability is based on similar features from Sunrise, which Microsoft acquired them last year. 

The Microsoft translator app for iOS also got an update, meanwhile, and will now support offline translation of entire web pages.

Managing Editor

I’m a managing editor at PCMag.com focused on PC hardware. Reading this during the day? Then you've caught me testing gear and editing reviews of Wi-Fi routers, printers, laptops, and tons of other personal tech. (Reading this at night? Then I’m probably dreaming about all those cool products.) I’ve covered the consumer tech world as an editor, reporter, and analyst since 2015.

I've covered most major consumer tech events, including CES, Computex, Google I/O, and IFA. I've also appeared on CBS News, in USA Today, and at many other outlets to offer analysis on breaking technology news.

Before I joined the tech-journalism ranks, I wrote on topics as diverse as Borneo's rainforests, Middle Eastern airlines, and Big Data's role in presidential elections. A graduate of Middlebury College, I also have a master's degree in journalism and French Studies from New York University.

The Technology I Use

While most people buy a phone or laptop and stick with it for years, I’m lucky enough to use devices based on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows daily as part of my job. As a result, I cycle through lots of tech in addition to my IT-issue work laptop. (Yes, that's a ThinkPad.) Personally, I’ve also owned a lot of tech products both cutting-edge and cringeworthy, from the Nintendo GameCube and the original MacBook to the Palm m105 and the CueCat.
