Kompatibel mit Kurzbefe und Siri; ohne Werbung. ### 5/5 — Không wow *2021-01-09, version 1.3* Không đánh thức được khi ở khác mạng ### 4/5 — iCloud synchronisation needs work *2021-01-04* Apart from that it works flawlessly with Siri which is exactly what I needed! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! I agree with ya hahaha, if you wouldn’t mind be more specific about it I’d happily hear about how to improve the app :) E-mail me at: pedrogfarina@gmail.com ### 5/5 — This is so clean! *2020-11-18, version 1.2* This is awesome! By far the cleanest (imo) compared to the other apps. I’m building all the PCs in my house to be rack mounted in the basement. I’m going to have my family use this app to turn on their computers. Rather than having to type the MAC address and ip over and over for each person it’d be soooooo cool if there was a way to export computers in the app. Would be so handy. It doesn’t have to be complicated, any exporting method would be well appreciated ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Dommage *2021-01-17, version 1.3* J’aurais mis 5 étoiles car cette application a une intégration pour les raccourcis mais malheureusement elle ne fonctionne pas. Visiblement l’ip est modifié et la dernière composante est toujours remplacée par 255. ### 2/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2021-06-08, version 1.4* J'ai utilisé cette application sur mon nas je n'ai constaté aucun démmarage jai donc utilisé une autre application le design est tres bien mais il serais bien de revoir le coté fontionnel. ### 2/5 — chiusura inattesa *2020-11-14, version 1.2* Per il compito che deve svolgere va bene, ma per la sua essenzialità che vada in crash non e' il massimo. Mac-Mini Late 2012 - OS 10.15.7 con 16GB RAM e SSD512 ### 3/5 — Doesn't wake Synology NAS reliably *2022-08-05, version 1.4* I find it doesn't wake my synology NAS. I have same settings as on an iPhone app (works 100% of the time). Laptop running Swol is on same LAN as the NAS. ### 3/5 — Latest Update Broke It *2021-01-23, version 1.4* Was working great. Latest update stopped it from working. Had to change the broadcast IP manually back to x.x.x.255 to get it to work again. Hopefully they will get it working again… 😔 ### 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 ### 4/5 — Clean and Simple *2021-03-29, version 1.4* Does exactly what it says on the tin with a clean, native looking interface. Very handy to have when dealing with numerous clients. Just a couple things keeping me at 4 stars. Would've loved to see the shortcuts integration be a device drop-down not a text box and allowing the user to re-order their devices in the menu would be great also. ### 4/5 — very good but missing detail *2021-02-01, version 1.4* Very nice tool for WOL including up to date how to. Like in all other WOL tools I miss the possibility to proove the success. Please add a PING test. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s good *2025-08-20, version 1.5* Both Mac and iPhone work with iCloud ### 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! ### 5/5 — Failed to send magic pocket -67636 *2022-11-11, version 1.4* It worked fine for me, but the last days it doesn’t. I use Swol on Mac and iPhone the settings are synchronized in iCloud. Mac still wakes my PC but iPhone run to failure -67636 :( Any suggestions? Thanks ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-09-02, version 1.4* It works perfectly as what i expected. I highly recommend this app if you are going to wake other devices from your MacOS, iOS devices. You can even wake your computer from external network (needs some router configuration). ### 5/5 — Works well *2021-12-27, version 1.4* I needed an app to send a "magic packet" to wake up my PC from inside my LAN or externally when away from home. I'm not sure why Microsoft Remote Desktop doesn't do this automatically. So far this has worked without any trouble. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
