Pretty good

I like this it does what it says and Its free.

Nothing really to complain about although it didn't recognise my computer first time I had to reinstall the app.

Other than that it's good especially if you want to stream a movie and watch it upstairs and then turn the computer off.

Useful

Although the advertising in the app seems to push everything down a little, it does what it's suppose to. I'm not paying $4 for the full version. Make it $2 and you've got a deal.

Awesome

My husband and I both have this app on our iPods. We have a couple computers on our networks and this is just what I needed. I always stress about if I've turned the computers off or not. I can do it from anywhere I can reach my wifi network. I love it!

Totally works!!!

It SO works. I even upgraded to the full paid version. I have multiple computers connected to my router, wirelessly and thru the cat5. I couldn't get all my computers to show up on the scan at first either, but it was my own fault!!! If you have a firewall running it will disallow access! You must check your blocked programs list for "bonjour", this service will be caught by all firewalls and is needed for Off to run. As soon as I unblocked Bonjour from all my firewalls, all my computers populated in the scan!! ALSO: don't be afraid to email the author of this app, he is a great guy and helped ne through this whole firewall issue.

Almost perfect...

*** The win-beta now shuts down without being logged in...excellent. The only problem with this is the delay in the free version and Β£1.79 is just too expensive for the full app...reduce to 59p and I'll buy it. ***

Works a treat but you have to be logged in for the 'helper' app on the PC to function. A bit of a pain for people like me who have their PC on at the login prompt so that their media centre can access the PC's network shares.

Apart from that small niggle it's excellent.

useless

Why would I even think about buying the full version when the free version doesn't even work?

Doesn't work

I was ready to buy the full version, but for some reason I manage to make it work few times, it couldn't find my computers all the time probably because of the PC file. I e-mailed the dev. and told me to try the BETA which I did, and made everything unoperational. I might try again in the future because I like this app, (if it's working) but right now, I deleted it.

Good app

This app looks nice though at some parts the resolution is slightly off and parts of objects stretch beyond the screen a tad bit, first and foremost however, it works and is a very convenient thing to have.

Missing " On " button & the other etc...

If Yours can add " on " and " Log Out " or even add the seeing Screen feature " for example : you can see your Mac or PC Screen so you can check what's going on on your Mac or PC without going there. If that possible, This " Off App " would be 7 Stars beat all the Apps from iTunes Apps Store. And We'll happy to pay 10 or 15 bucks . really looking forward to it, hope above feature will coming soon, if yours can make this things actually happening, than Yours are the best of the best of making #1 App in iTunes Apps Store .
So Keep it Up. Thank You for Yours hard work.

Off not on?!

Looks great, works well - why not build in a wake function too? Then I would be happy to buy the paid version. I know netwake is recommended and also works well but I'd rather buy one good looking app than have two free ones. If you know what I mean
