The app itself is simple and works well. Easy setup and then you're away. However the widget doesn't work at all since the Android 12 update came through, sadly, which was the draw for me. I've tried several launchers but no luck. EDIT: Widget is still broken on the latest version. For more info, trying to create a widget shows there are no devices available. The devices show up fine in the app itself. EDIT2: to answer the dev quesion, I can't create a widget at all because it shows no devices.

Works just fine, except after scanning and finding an IP if you click to add it puts the IP in but not the mac. Would have helped.

It's simple to set up a device (just need MAC address and IP address). Other Android WoL apps weren't working with my PC for some reason. This app worked on my first try, which is awesome, so I'll be using it from now on. Special Thanks to the developer for providing this software.

Tried with other WOL apps from a PC and all worked fine. Removed device from this app and added it again and now working again

This app is perfect. And with potential for automation, this app has incredible potential to be a vital part of a android/pc ecosystem. And. it has dark mode! I highly recommend this app!

This app works great and solved the exact problem I had. It's possible that the setup is a little hard if you don't know much about your home network, but I don't know if that's solvable - to some extent WoL is an advanced feature. My one feature request: please enable your app on Android TV devices. My use case (which is probably somewhat common) is turning on the media server from the TV.

LAN scan does not work on Google Pixel 2XL Android 10. It does not come up with a single machine, although plenty of computers around. Tested this app on my son's S7 Active Android Oreo and it discovered all the computers on the LAN. So it might be just a compatibility issue and can be fixed in future updates. For now it does half the work of what it is supposed to do. I'll change/update the ratings as soon as this issue is resolved. Thanks

I installed this app because for some reason, Fing (a very comprehensive and useful network app that I've used for many years ) became unable, after latest update to wake up my server. Although I try to keep the number of installed apps to a minimum, I had no choice but to try WolOn. It's light, simple, and it just WORKS . What more can I say?

For some reason my modem stopped my pc wake on so it shuts down while I'm streaming to my Android box. This app works for waking it. If the feature to send a magic packet at a timer I can set up is added I'd definitely give it 5 stars. But as the pc shuts down at intervals iv given it 4 stars, not the fault of the app, app works as it's made but as said if it can be set to send a burst packet every few minutes or each hour to what I set it that be 100 perfect.

Works exactly as described, simple interface.

It just works! What more can you say. Simple to setup, and works on 4G and WiFi connections. My hone PC goes into sleep mode after 30 mins of not being used. Using WOL I can power it on andcremote into it, knowing that it will sleep. great when I'm at work and need to access my home PC.

Tried to wol the 49pus7101 philips tv. It didn't work.

This is a good app, but now it requires "run at startup". EDIT: Thank you for your reply Bitklog. My phone is too old I guess. So many apps require this permission now, that my phone takes forever to drop back to idle after it boots and all these apps get wake notifications. I understand your point about the scheduled tasks. You are a good developer.

The app is nice but just a suggestion that if you are providing advance funcs like ssh integration then do allow a trial cause there is no way most of us would like to pay for the integration without testing your implementation and the same goes for me. I have been searching for ssh apps that has tasker integration however most of them I found aren't working upto the mark and your can't be even tested before the purchase so will be skipping this one for now. Kudos to your work. The UI is good af.

YYYYAAAAY! Thanks a lot! Finaly I can boot my computer using mobile internet far away from home. That's incredible! To use this feature, you need to on wake on lan features in BIOS and windows (10), make address reservation for your PC in router, make port forwarding from your router to your computer (I'm using port 25565 :D) and enjoy! THANKS DEVS

Worked for a few times and won't wake up my device when the widget was used. It would still work from inside the app. And then it stopped completely. I haven't tried another yet to see if it's an issue with my network setup. I will soon though.

And. C. Dec 8, 2020     

I have only one issue: When my phone is under 15% (Battery Saver is on when it's under 15%) the widget doesn't work anymore. In the app it still works Like a charm. Other than that the app is really good and easy to setup. Thank you.

Got this one to work when I couldn't with any of the others. Very happy with it so far, but I notice that although the green circle 'woke up' icon displays on my Android phone, it doesn't on my Chromebook (although it does do the waking up). Now to try 'wake on WAN', but I'm having trouble finding instructions clear enough for me!

Awesome, just awesome. This is a crucial piece in my remote pc gaming setup. I have the pc stored in a room over and use it exclusively with a remote and controller for TV gaming. This app This app great for being able to turn on my pc without being in the same room.

Works great. Does exactly what it's supposed to if you know your way around Wake on LAN. the only little quirk I have noticed is that the widget cannot be nested into a home screen folder.

Vov. Feb 26, 2019     

I do like this app, but unlike others it doesnt allow you to wake on lan unless you're connected to a wifi. So if you vpn in on 4G it doesnt work and not because the code isn't there, but because the app just doesn't allow you to hit the button unless it detects you on a wifi.

Vau. J. Jan 24, 2020     

Excellent. The app works great for me, both on local LAN and over the internet. Initially had issues setting up for Internet. Just remember to make a static arp entry on your router, and to forward the magic port to the ip.

Jus. M. Jun 29, 2020     

Works great when I need to turn my PC on so I can remote desktop from anywhere in my home. Still trying to figure out the gateway mumbo jumbo though so I can do it away from my home network. So far so good though! Great app guys, keep up the good work.

Mr. J. Sep 13, 2021     

I really love this app, simple and so clean too! And there are no ads which is fantastic, I only wished they allowed export of settings or at least some sort of backup methods.

Ric. R. Mar 4, 2019     

Works, for me, flawlessly! Another star would be present, if a simple LAN script could be written to also turn off the PC...or turn off after a certain amout of time. But that's just me and my wants.

Rhy. L. Apr 8, 2020     

It works well over LAN, but not over WAN. However, that is my router and not this app. The interface is clean and it was easy to use. Great utility.
