### 5/5 — It’s good

*2025-08-20, version 1.5*

Both Mac and iPhone work with iCloud

### 1/5 — Errors are codes - they mean nothing!

*2025-06-21, version 1.4*

First time I tried to set this up a) it doesn’t auto format/check MAC address entries which is lazy, B) first attempt to send magic packet gives and error code “sending error err -67636”

How the hell is that useful? There is no built in help or way to contact dev. Disgustingly lazy app developer.

### 1/5 — Non Functioning

*2025-03-24, version 1.4*

Does not wake internally or externally.

### 5/5 — No-nonsense get-the-job-done app

*2024-09-08, version 1.4*

Just make sure you know how to get the IP, MAC, and port number info. before you get started. I don't use it outside my home network so I can't say how well it works on that front.

### 5/5 — ottima straconsigliata

*2024-01-07, version 1.4*

la migliore..!!

### 5/5 — WOL & WOW

*2023-10-02, version 1.4*

Efficae permet de parametrer une adresse interne et une externe.

Wonderfull, thank you , the job is done , allow an internal and external adress.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-09-07, version 1.4*

This is the best app that I have ever used for WOL. But it will be better if it have a better UI

### 5/5 — It works

*2023-02-06, version 1.4*

simple and works

### 5/5 — Works great

*2023-02-03, version 1.4*

I'm no network guru and somehow managed to configure this.  I'm able to wake up my Macbook Air M2 from my iMac desktop with no issues.  Works fast too!

### 4/5 — funziona

*2023-01-09, version 1.4*

Funziona bene, da migliorare la grafica e soprattutto bisogerebbe aggiungere la possibilità di inserirlo nella barra dei menu

### 1.5 — 2025-08-11

This version officially ends any new feature for this app, while maintaining it for users who don't like the new design/version.

### 1.4 — 2021-01-22

Swol is going through some changes :)

I'm working with a company named KaçaFalcão on a redesign for the app to bring a better experience to you.
But the main news right now are on your devices:
• Every device now has an External IP so you can wake up your device outside LAN.
• The broadcast IP (ending in 255) will no longer be used, now it'll send directly to the IP you fill.
• Minor iCloud bugfixes in conflict handling.

### 1.3 — 2020-12-30

You can now import and export devices.
Also, if you'd like you can now donate a cup of coffee for me to keep up the work :)

### 1.2.1 — 2020-12-09

Removed "." auto complete on IP and fixed app crashing when Mac Adress is incomplete.

### 1.2 — 2020-10-29

Fixed tutorial views size too big in some devices
