It also lets me check to make sure that when my daughter assures me she turned her computer off, that she really did.” “Very simple and easy to setup. When I say simple I didn't have to set anything up. Just install the server and the app picked up my laptop straight away. All the buttons worked, it's amazing. No more having to get out if bed to turn the laptop off for the night.” '..it's the least you can do for the environment.'

We have several wireless music senders dotted around the house also which feed off the desktop PC in the dining room. I've added iTunes to the startup menu on that PC and can restart the PC using this app ... once restarted I can then switch to my iTunes remote and start listening to my music without having to tramp downstairs.” • System Requirements • - Supports Windows 7 to 10 - Supports Mac OS 10.7 and above • Response to feedback • -If you do have any problems using Off, then please just check the help instructions in the app. Feel free to drop me an email (my personal mail is in the app) if you need help.
