## What is Depicus Wake On Lan?

### 3/5 — Bugged

*2024-04-25*

Crashes when attempting to send a magic packet through a FQDN

### 5/5 — Works Perfectly (once your network is ready)

*2019-05-02, version 3.01*

After reading previous reviews, some saying it simply doesn’t work others saying brilliant, I can clarify that if your network, the machine you want to wake, your router and your ISP IP address is all configured properly then it does work perfectly. I can now reliably wake my PC from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. 

However if you don’t know how to set up a dynamic DNS, how to port forward, how to prevent your routers ARP cache from clearing the addresses of the machine you want to wake, how to activate WOL in the BIOS of your machine, how to enable the power options of your LAN adapter to allow WOL then you’ll be fighting a losing battle. That is no fault of the app, the app is simply one cog in the gearbox that makes it all work. And when they all mesh correctly it’s perfect.

### 5/5 — Simple

*2018-12-18*

Merci, compatible en 4G

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2018-05-20*

I know how WoL works. In fact I use the depicus website and it wakes my PC just fine. When using the exact same configuration in the app it says there was an error sending the packet. I will be asking for a refund.

### 4/5 — Marche en 3G

*2017-10-21*

L'avantage de depicus sur ses concurrents gratuits est qu'il marche en 3G. Simple a utiliser, pas de fioritures et de fonctionnalités inutiles.
Est-il possible d’avoir une version compatible iOS 11? Merci

### 1/5 — Dont work under ios11 🙁

*2017-09-23*

Hope there is a update coming

### 2/5 — App doesn't work

*2017-09-14, version 1.9*

I'm on iOS 10.3.3. App doesn't function when Personal Hotspot enabled in the current iOS. If I unplug the phone from my laptop then it works fine. Annoying.

### 1/5 — Broke with ios10

*2017-05-25*

Do not buy if you have the latest version of iOS. This isn't optimized and no keyboard opens. You have to painstakingly copy and paste all ur info in. Even then only half the screen shows the apps.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2017-05-01, version 1.9*

It works but with alot of bugs.

### 2/5 — Doesn't work properly on iPhone7 :(

*2017-04-03*

Be aware

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.01 — 2017-11-22

This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.

Totally re-written for 64bit in Swift. This version is for those who have moved to iOS 11 for which the current app does not work. Some functionality parity with the old version is currently not present but will return in future updates.

### 1.9 — 2011-05-17

Fixed a bug with scrolling discovered machines in landscape mode on the iPad

### 1.8 — 2011-02-18

Added the ability to upload and download the bookmarks database to Dropbox from the iPhone and iPod Touch versions. This will make it easy to backup the database and transfer it to other iOS devices and OS X.

### 1.7 — 2011-01-26

Added Network Card Identification in the Network Discovery Scan so you can now see the discovered network cards by MAC address, ip address and manufacturer.

### 1.6 — 2011-01-19

Added "Belt & Braces" Mode

Belt & Braces mode can be set via the Apps Setting page, it is disabled by default, and allows you to send two Wake On Lan Magic Packets. This feature is not enabled on local network where it would not work. It connections and sends one packet via your Telco using UDP, the second packet is sent via a Web Service and is handy where Telco's block access to UDP services.
