Pros and cons of Wake app for iPhone and iPad
Wake app good for
Hello, i like to have a an import-function for csv or perhaps another txt format, so i can import 200 clients more easily. That would be a very useful function i wish you will integrate in further releases.
... if it let you change the port. It does everything else though, and its free.
I likw this app because i can turn on my computer from outside of house!! Its perfect!!
My iMac is an old PowerPC, and I know us old guys Wake hard, so good for this app :)
With this + iSSH, I can do all my work when Im away from home.
Some bad moments
Unfortunately no VPN support. App sends magic packet only within LAN.
This is the most useless app I have ever seen. Its basically a picture of an empty list with a plus and edit button that do nothing.
This is a great app. It works very well and is simple to set up. I cant believe its free.
Ive been searching for a solution to Wake up my iMac for iOS printing and streaming to Apple TV but I didnt want to have to buy an Apple router. Great job. Thanks!
I like the fact that its free and has auto detect feature, but it only worked once. I have at least 10 devices that connects to my network either wifi or LAN and at the time I opened this app it saw 4 device, but the my server is still of and I want this to detect my home server since its the only thing I want remotely turned on/off. After few minutes and server is already running I re-opened the app and its not there. I tried couple of times but still not detected. Even a freshly turned on laptop is not seen.
After all that I just manually entered local settings and it worked. However on 3G its not smart enough to port local network information and convert it so that when Im on 3G it will still be able to turn the server on since its already enabled for DMZ.
It does just what it says... Wakes up your computer. Easy to configure, although you MUST type in the colon separators for your target MAC address.
