### 1/5 — Asking an Apple id

*2018-02-18, version 1.2*

Once the app started asking your apple id
Why would i type my Apple id and password why i share it with you????

### 3/5 — Works, But Needs A Few Fixes

*2015-02-07, version 1.1*

It works. After configuring on my Win 8.1 PC and putting the necessary info into the app, I can wake my PC from sleep or turn it on while it's off from iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1.3. 

Only problem is the MAC list to save multiple devices doesn't actually work because the devices on the list aren't given the option to be woken, their credentials are just saved there. I also wish there was a way to remotely turn my PC back off, but if there's just one device you want to be able to turn on from any state, this works.

### 3/5 — Crashes ;(

*2014-01-06, version 1.0*

This would be a great app if it didn't crash every time I open it. I've re-downloaded it several times with no results. I have an iPod touch 4th gen win ios 6 :(

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2011-06-16, version 1.0*

The documentation is a joke, either the author speaks very bad English, or it's the result of some automated translation.

The app has no error handling at all, e.g. even if I enter a nonexistent hostname, it'll report success.

### 4/5 — An app with a intelligent idea

*2011-01-29, version 1.0*

It's creative to get statistics of battery and study the log of it.A nice idea to do so.
