Just another Wake-On-LAN (WOL) Application. For iOS, watchOS (soon) and tvOS! Since I did not like the look-and-feel of the other WOL (Wake-On-LAN) Apps in the AppStore, I had to make my own. Your Wake-On-LAN Datasets will be shared between iOS and tvOS via iCloud (of course ;) I hope you enjoy the this app and rate it on iTunes.
