### 5/5 — 💯% would recommend!

*2021-10-04, version 2.2*

This app is really great! Easy to set up and easy to use. Does everything I wanted and more. The only things I would love to see added would be a shutdown/sleep computer function and app integration with shortcuts so that I could use Siri to wake my computer.

下遍了所有能下载的Wol App，这是唯一一个可以正常使用的，其它的App不是压根不行，就是重启路由后无法唤醒，有的甚至关机超过五分钟就不能唤醒了。

### 5/5 — 可用

*2020-10-18*

可用

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2025-10-06*

Works ok with HP-G1 and HP-G4 but not with HP-G6. YMMV.

### 1/5 — Sendet wol nur um eigenen Subnetz!

*2020-01-12*

Egal was man für eine Ziel-IP angibt. 
Somit ungeeignet für Fritzbox-VPN user!
Sehr schade. Bitte diesen Bug beheben

### 1/5 — Не будит через wan

*2020-01-11*

В отличии от wake me up не будит по wan Только lan

### 1/5 — Only works on lan

*2016-04-28, version 1.1*

Pretty useless app. When trying to send a packet over the internet it defaults to some strange broadcast address which never makes it anywhere, and won't detect vpn. Don't waste your time here, go get "remote boot" since it actually works and be done with it.

### 1/5 — Wish I could make it work with PC

*2014-08-14, version 1.1*

It keeps demanding an MAC address :((((

Love the app, wish I could use it (windows 7 with iPhone and iPad)

### 1/5 — Didn't work for me over the internet

*2014-03-16, version 1.1*

I had configured my router and PC et al. But this failed to wake it up. I used a different app and it worked great. Same configuration. 

Also this doesn't support ipv6. That's a given these days ipv4 is dead

### 1/5 — Only works on local subnet

*2013-04-09, version 1.1*

Only seems to send to the broadcast IP of the local subnet. Specifying an external IP address doesn't result in that IP being used.

### 1/5 — Besoin d'aide SVP

*2012-04-20*

Bonjour;
Je n'arrive pas a utiliser l'application alors que j'ai paramétré mon pc et il est relié de façon filaire. 

Quelqu'un aurait-il des conseils svp
Cordialement

### 1/5 — Weak Sauce 👎

*2012-02-08, version 1.0*

Have to manually enter MAC addresses etc., and doesn't work over Wi-Fi. Don't bother.

### 1/5 — Didn't work at all - old iOS version

*2011-11-27, version 1.0*

Could not save the configuration.  After entering the Mac address 10 times the configuration saved, but even after that it would not show the computer's status or wake it up.  This may be due to a very old iOS version on the iPad.

*2024-12-28*

Port Forwarding Rule Is The Best following this app. You can start your pc from anywhere.

### 5/5 — 最好用的远程唤醒

*2024-11-12*

一定要先看文档
