### 5/5 — Much better than the competence

*2024-12-24*

This app does what the competence does an much more. It also has a very clean UI. Very impressed and recommended!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-12-08, version 1.2.0*

Simple, free and open source. Works much better than the three other apps I tried first.

### 5/5 — Einwandfrei

*2024-12-08*

Funktioniert einwandfrei und ist einfach zu bedienen. Zwar ist die App werbefrei, hätte aber nichts dagegen wenn es eine Möglichkeit für Spenden gibt.

### 5/5 — Bestes WOL Tool

*2024-11-14*

Läuft super. Hatte es zum Testen genutzt und funktioniert perfekt. Danke!

### 5/5 — Basic app that works really well.

*2024-11-05, version 1.2.0*

Does what it says and has a nice clean interface. Would recommend.

Dazu auch noch kostenlos. Und es funktioniert. Was will man mehr. Große Empfehlung.

### 5/5 — Einfach, genial!

*2024-10-04*

Die App macht das, was sie soll. Einfachste Einrichtung, inklusive Status des gesteuerten Gerätes (viele andere Apps bieten das nur gegen Kaufoption oder gar nicht). Sehr aufgeräumt und übersichtlich, wirklich toll!

### 5/5 — Perfect! it does what it should!

*2024-09-03*

Thanks for this nice little app!
And what a relief, no adds.

### 5/5 — Großartige kleine App

*2024-09-01*

Schönes Design, einfache Einrichtung, gute Nutzbarkeit. Und auch noch kostenlos!
Falls sie noch weiterentwickelt wird - Shortcutintegration wäre großartig um Geräte vom Homescreen aus zu starten ! Und vielleicht ein Link für eine PayPal-Spende 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Simple & effective

*2024-08-21*

Perfect for me.

PC ist von außen sowie im LAN aufweckbar ohne Probleme.

### 5/5 — Simple - somit perfekt

Works as intended. Never disappoints!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with DNS

*2024-04-19, version 1.2.0*

It does not let you use DNS hostnames as a target for WakeOnLan. I want to support open source software but this is useful functionality most other WakeOnLan apps have.

### 4/5 — Gut

*2024-04-01*

Fehlt nur noch sauberes Darstellung aufm Ipad. 
Custom Subnetz zum Scannen wär auch gut.
Könnt man noch paar Sachen machen aber schon ziemlich gut.

### 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.

## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated)

### 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!
