### 5/5 — Simple, efficient, and free

*2026-06-07, version 1.2.0*

Thank you good sir for your time making this app. Very useful.

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2026-05-09, version 1.2.0*

One of the 7 good apps

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-11-01, version 1.2.0*

Hands down best WOL app for iOS.

### 5/5 — Free with great features

*2025-09-06, version 1.2.0*

Simple and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Simple. Perfect….almost

*2025-07-13, version 1.2.0*

Amazingly simple and efficient utility! Thanks to the developer. What would make this absolutely perfect is if instead of configuring the wake-up to an IP address, it could resolve a hostname to a dynamic public IP using some DNS (duckdns, DDNS, no-IP etc)

### 5/5 — Does what it’s meant too

*2025-06-30, version 1.2.0*

I tried 2 pay apps, neither of those worked on my work provided ThinkPad. This one did. And this GUI is nicer! Would be good to deactivate ping for devices that do not respond to pings. Other than that it’s great.

### 5/5 — It’s awesome

*2025-05-01, version 1.2.0*

Wow, such a simple app but a one that works great. It’s easy to use and the quality of life feature to be able to import and export all your devices is hugely appreciated by me.

### 5/5 — Impressive WOL utility.

*2025-02-12, version 1.2.0*

This app rivals all the premium utilities out there while built as open source.  I have also successfully sent packets with it over the WAN via WireGuard. Thanks to the developer for a sleek and simple experience.

### 5/5 — Very basic and nice app!

*2025-01-31*

I switched to this app, as my old alternative now costs 1.99€, which i don’t want to pay. It does what it says!

### 5/5 — It just works

*2024-12-29*

As per the title, it’s free and it does what it says on the tin. After several attemps with other apps, this one was the first to work flawlessly even when sending the packet through a VPN. Well done!
