However, there was a couple of issues in recent months but Support have not got back to me despite promising to do so, making the app effectively useless for me. Therefore, I can’t recommend Off as a purchase. ### 3/5 — Abo oder Kauf auf Lebenszeit? *2023-08-07* Etwas undurchsichtig ist das „in-app-Käufe-Menü“. Es gibt innerhalb der app-Käufe zwei Optionen für 1-jähriges Abo. Das etwas teurere davon kostet 5,99€. Gleichzeitig wird eine pro-Version für 5,99€ angeboten. Wo befindet sich eine lifetime-Option bzw. warum gibt es in der nicht-pro-Version zwei Optionen für 1 Jahr? Bitte die Kauf/Abo-Optionen unbedingt harmonisieren und konsistent gestalten! ### 3/5 — Useful *2022-07-26, version 5.07.01* This app was useful ### 2/5 — What a scam *2022-07-01, version 5.07.01* You would expect a $5 app to work. It was working, then stopped working. Won’t connect. ### 4/5 — BRILLIANT APP BUT TRY ADDING VOICE COMMAND! *2021-07-18, version 5.04* Hello I was very skeptical at first when downloading this application but it did what I needed it to do! SAY GOODBYE TO WAKE ON LAN. NO ETHERNET NEEDED, this app is brilliant, however I would recommend if you could possibly make a shortcut for Siri or add Siri so that we could potentially restart, shutdown among other commands using only our voice! However thank you so much! This app has saved me! ### 4/5 — Great app *2020-11-08, version 5.04* Work as intended too. Please add in shortcut support and this app will be perfect. ### 1/5 — Worked one time *2020-08-09, version 5.04* I wanted to have a way to lock my daughter’s computer and decided to give this a try. After using it once, now when I open the app there is a spinning wheel next to the computer mane and when I select it, the page is completely blank. Hard closing the app hasn’t helped. I’ll have to try something else now. ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2020-05-20* Plz fix this app, login’s password doesnt work anymore. ### 4/5 — add more option *2020-02-28, version 4.40* i think this is best app but app don’t have wake on lan (wol) option i hope next update dev can add wol thank for read my review ### 1/5 — Вылетает при запуске *2019-10-09* Приложение не запускается. Вылетает сразу при запуске ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mist-App Funktionslos *2026-01-18* Nur gegen Zahlung von 3,49€ jährlich soll was funktionieren - ansonsten geht gar nix ### 1/5 — don’t bother it’s paywalled *2023-04-17, version 5.08* “free”, it’s a massive paywall, you cannot do anything unless you buy the paid subscription, any buttons or clickable icons send you straight too the subscription screen, there isn’t a way too make any function work without that screen, side note, the UI is terrible looking. disappointing. ### 1/5 — Not free *2023-03-19, version 5.08* Nothing works on free version, every function needs a paid subscription ### 1/5 — One star. Doesn’t work anymore *2023-01-17, version 5.07.01* Forcing me to use a password I never set. Indefinitely loads after I try to enter one. ### 1/5 — Nag Screen Will Not Allow App To Run *2022-04-23, version 5.07.01* It found my desktop computer just fine, but when I chose to turn it off from the iPhone app a NAG screen to buy premium would pop up! If I went to close the nag screen by tapping the X on the top right right of the screen instead of closing the nag screen, it continually popped up. Totally unusable! I was willing to pay the five bucks, but this has left a bad taste in my mouth. Pass. By the way, is it five dollars period or five dollars a month? Anyway, pass. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work for me *2022-02-27, version 5.07.01* It doesn't work for me. I restarted both mobile and desktop app, and even went ion the connection tester. Nothing works. ### 1/5 — Not exactly working with windows 10 *2022-01-09, version 5.07.01* I want to make my pc sleep but it turns off my monitors but pc still runs. ### 1/5 — Design *2021-07-25* Устаревший дизайн ### 1/5 — Нет поддержки на Mojave . *2021-03-12* Не ставится на Mojave , до этого стояла было отлично потом слетела попытался снова поставить а уже не поддерживается . Так то программа удобная если бы вернули поддеожку ос 10.14 было бы отлично . ### 1/5 — Só pagando *2021-02-08* Nenhuma função é ativada se você não assinar ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-04-24, version 5.08* I have been using it for years now, Very useful app. ### 5/5 — Usfull app *2022-09-06, version 5.07.01* Simple and very usfull. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2022-01-19, version 5.07.01* Every time my brother wants to scream like a dying pig whist gaming, during the middle of the night, I simply turn his PC off. Thankyou to whoever made this. ### 5/5 — Really good! *2021-03-04, version 5.04* Nice! But you can mame shortcuts compatible 😄 ### 5/5 — Control your teens screentime! *2021-01-26, version 5.04* This app is just what I was searching for to control my 13-year old's screentime. When he will not cease playing when told it's bedtime - Off Remote solves the problem. Likewise when seen playing games during virtual school! Straightforward to install and use. Magic! ### 5/5 — So simple *2020-12-05, version 5.04* perfect ### 5/5 — Super Application *2020-10-27* Le système fonctionne à la perfection pour arrêter l'ordinateur. Simplement il serait bien de revoir un peu les graphisme de l'application et de voir si sous iOS il est possible d'avoir un accès rapide dans les widgets ou quelque chose dans ce genre. Mais sinon parfait ! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-01-15, version 4.40* Very easy to set up works every time ### 5/5 — Great *2019-08-27, version 4.40* Nice ### 5/5 — JJ *2019-05-29, version 4.40* Amazing, works perfect --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
