### 3/5 — Decent - WOL doesn’t work, though.

*2024-01-04, version 2.6*

The app, for what it’s worth, is decent. Given remote login capabilities, it can send sleep and shutdown commands… but, at least on Sonoma 14.2.1, waking a sleeping Mac fails. 

The problem, and the reason I’ll be refunding when the purchase is pending, is that the only other two functions that work require SSH remote login access, and send commands directly to System Events, which is very insecure given it’s not asking for iCloud information, and just the system’s username and password. That’s not a setting I’d like to keep enabled on my personal system.

If you need what it offers, it’ll work perfectly for you. If you wanted to have a way to remotely wake up your Mac without hitting your keyboard, maybe skip this one.

### 5/5 — WOW

*2023-01-29*

Ich hab über 3 App , VPN oder auch Software versucht was diese App einfach möglich macht.
Ohne viel tam tam WOL über internet…
Ich würde 50 Sterne gerade vergeben wenn ich könnte. Danke

### 4/5 — Funziona bene !

*2022-05-17, version 2.6*

Permette di configurare diversi dispositivi nella stessa rete, a cui è possibile inviare i comandi di sleep, shutdown, reboot, e WOL, sia attraverso la LAN, sia via internet. Ovviamente non può fare tutto l’app, bisogna configurare correttamente i Mac e, se si vuole avere in controllo da internet, anche il router.

### 1/5 — ! Sehr schlecht !

*2021-04-05*

Nach dem Update sind alle MAC Adressen weg, bei neu hinzugefügten Geräten wird die MAC Adresse nicht übertragen.  Einfügen von kopierten Daten funktioniert nicht mehr. Es wird in der Tastatur keine Leertaste angeboten.

>>> einfach nur schlecht (war vor der Verschlimmbesserung mal richtig gut)

### 3/5 — Weckt meine Synology auf

*2021-02-20*

Prinzipiell ok, hatte neulich leider die Macke das er die mac Adressen vergisst, sowohl auf iPad als auch auf dem iPhone.
Neu eintragen der mac hat geholfen.

**Developer response:** Guten Tag! Das ist nicht gut, dass iNet WOL bei Ihnen nicht so funktioniert wie es soll. Bitte kontaktieren Sie mich unter info @ BananaGlue.de, damit wir Ihrem Problem auf den Grund gehen können.

### 1/5 — Nach letzten update

*2021-02-05*

bei allen geräten die mac adresse weg, Toll!!!

**Developer response:** Guten Tag! Es tut mir leid, dass iNet WOL bei Ihnen nicht so funktioniert wie es soll. Bitte kontaktieren Sie mich unter info @ BananaGlue.de, damit wir Ihrem Problem auf den Grund gehen können.

### 2/5 — No longer works on iOS 14

*2021-01-14*

Real shame as I’d been using this for years but it seems it no longer sends the magic packet since moving to iOS 14

### 4/5 — Nutzen mit Synology und iMac

*2020-04-13*

Meine Synology hat die WOL-Funktion. Mit diesem Tool geht das Starten der Synology aus dem ausgeschalteten Zustand problemlos!

Leider kann man mit der App die Synology nicht runterfahren. Das funktioniert mit der App leider nur für Computer mit iOS. Vielleicht kann der Entwickler hier die App noch erweitern? So muß man für das Runterfahren der Synology noch die App DS Finder verwenden.

Starten des iMac geht leider nur aus dem Ruhezustand, aber nicht aus dem ausgeschalteten Zustand. Das liegt aber nicht an der App, sondern an Apple. Runterfahren oder in den Ruhestand setzten funktioniert aber mit dem iMac problemlos!

### 5/5 — WOL via VPN

*2020-03-01*

3 Konkurrenzprodukte haben es nicht geschafft, mein NAS über VPN zu wecken - iNet WOL auf Anhieb

### 5/5 — Was will man da groß schreiben

*2020-01-05*

Ich bin zufrieden. Macht das was es soll, nämlich meine NAS wecken! Und das seit Jahren!
