Simple and effective

This works great on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5s. I can WOL both of my Windows 7 PCs at home. I can't use the Internet feature as my router doesn't support that functionality.

Does exactly what it's supposed to!

Once you configure the software that goes on your computer this app works perfectly

Great app!

I very much like this app. Once I had configured my BIOS to allow booting from PCI/PCIe devices, this app booted my computer straight away.
I have found issues with shutting down and sleeping under Windows 8.1 though. I use a PIN to login, and cannot work out if that is meant to be the PIN password used, or the one I originally set, but furthermore, if I'm meant to use my e-mail address as the username or the name that's there. This isn't an app issue though, this is how Microsoft does things.

All in all, 5 stars. This app is fast, very user friendly, easy to setup, does exactly what I want it to, and is exactly as it is advertised.

Disapointed

Having read the other two reviews, I thought it would be worth a try. Unfortunately, the app crashes on both my iPhone and iPad. On the plus side, It will shut down my systems running both windows 7 & 8, but unfortunately it will not start either of them. The help or support is practically non existent, if any. Sorry, but I have to say this app is a disappointment, a frustrating experience even, certainly not worth payment for the experience.

Saves power

Excellent little able that implements WoL protocol. Noticed a comment in another review that says user could not wake devices on a different subnet - that's a limitation of the protocol - you'd need a forwarder, bind to the same subnet, or connect to the other subnet to WoL devices on different subnet. Much better now the iCloud syncing was added as it can be setup on ipad and used on iphone more easily. Use this app to save power and shut down PC's and servers without having to get up. Turning off around 250 watts each PC or can reduce power bill.

nice

nice app,works great but u need to know how to configure it

Great interface

Love the interface! Generally works as advertised. Can I suggest that you create the ability to wake on LAN where a VPN is active over cellular network, instead of saying no wifi present.

Great app

Wake Up

This is a first class app that works perfectly over LAN & WAN, just make sure that you have the correct syntax when creating an ARP entry into your router for WAN, I use a Netgear DG834GT with the DGTeam & 1018 firmware (TelNet)
Some later routers will automatically create an ARP entry however.

Doesn't work

Tried it with Mavericks...don't waste your $$

Great app

Easy to set up with a helpful tutorial, simple usage, very fast and works perfectly every single time. Couldn't ask for more.
