I get frustrated and go to my computer room and just hit the keyboard or mouse to wake the Mac up. I’ve monkeyed with the sleep settings on my Mac but I get the same results. ### 4/5 — Good start but is buggy.. *2017-12-31, version 2.2.1* Update: ok I think I fixed my issues.. was more of a UI / UX issue than a technical one. It crashes when you click ‘next’ in the tutorial but you can swipe the pages. Looking forward to next update. ### 4/5 — Great little app *2017-12-18, version 2.2.1* Great tool for waking, sleeping, shutting down the PCs on your network. It can also wake over the internet but that takes a bit of setting up - some clear instructions on how to do this would be helpful. ### 3/5 — Can’t find local network *2017-11-17* No WiFi network detected in local network, even though I’m connected actually. I’m using iPhone 6s with iOS 11.1.2, thanks. ### 1/5 — 无法唤醒局域网内的MACBOOK PRO *2017-02-08* 无法唤醒局域网内的MACBOOK PRO 网络唤醒也不能用，到底是不是软件有问题，作者能搞个教程么，不然白，花了六元钱了。 ### 1/5 — 很不好用，获取不到局域网mac，用的是极路由，显示状态也不对，手动设置局域网可以开机，外网设置了端口也不成功... *2017-01-22* 很不好用，获取不到局域网mac，用的是极路由，显示状态也不对，手动设置局域网可以开机，外网设置了端口也不成功... ### 1/5 — This app has to be removed from appstore *2016-07-06, version 2.2* Developer has stopped supporting it. The server is not working anymore. Website is down. DONT PAY FOR THIS APP. ### 1/5 — Neither the app nor support work! *2016-07-01* Although the app found my Macs on my network it would not wake them. And then when I wrote to the developer for help he didn't wake either. ### 1/5 — FAIL *2016-02-14* Does not work at all on Mac mini. Waste of time and money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake App . Bad Developer . *2021-03-24, version 2.2.1* Fake App .

But could not get it to work on my MacBook Air connected to a time machine. ### 1/5 — アップデートされてなくて最新OSで動かない This app doesn't work on current version OS. *2017-04-28* 2014年以降アップデートされておらず、iOS 10.2/iPhone6 Plusでアプリが起動すらしない(起動中に落ちる)。アップデートする気ないならストアから取り下げてほしい。 This application doesn't work on iOS 10.2 due to none update after 2014, already for three years. I wish developer to close to sell this application. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Stopped working in iOS 13.2, but fixed now *2019-10-12* Started working again in latest iOS 13.2 release, after being broken for a bit. ### 5/5 — Works excellent *2018-01-05* 5 stars ### 5/5 — 很好 *2017-10-25* 很好 ### 5/5 — Works!! *2017-09-19, version 2.2* Very simple and very effective ### 5/5 — works *2017-08-27* like it！keep moving forward please！ ### 5/5 — Best WOL utility in the App Store *2017-05-11* Seriously, this has everything you could want, WAN and LAN wake, DDNS support and even sleep controls for Mac users.
