Wake On Lan for Android
never have to get out of the sofa again. :-) thank u to the developer. what a good looking and functional app, great widget too. 5/5 well done. edit: thanks for explaining why app needs permissions to storage, csv dump is a great idea. edit II: i cant find a donate link in th description...
ALL WHO RATED 1-STAR PLS READ THIS NOW! Wake On LAN (WOL) is an internet specification, not a "product". Here's what you need to know: 1. Your PC BIOS MUST support WOL 2. Your network card MUST support WOL 3. YOU must enable WOL in BIOS and/or NIC You also need to know this: * WOL does NOT work over WiFi, only on a wired Ethernet connection that is always plugged in. This is not the developer's fault and there is literally nothing they can do about it. * There is NO such protocol as "Shutdown On LAN (SOL)". The only way to accomplish this is to download some sort of custom helper app (agent) from the dev that runs 24x7 on the PC you want to remotely shutdown. * WOL by definition CANNOT use IP addresses, only hardware (MAC) addresses because duh, your computer is turned off and thus doesn't even have an IP address yet. Hardware NICs (Ethernet ports) are always listening on their MAC addresses even when your machine is off. WiFi adapters are just plain off, dead, not listening on IP or MAC.
I love this app, I use it to wake up our computer lab pcs at once. Just wished you could add a select all button so you can wake up all of the computers at once. But great app!
Combing this with Tasker is best. I set it up to turn on PC when I connect to my WiFi. So when I get home from school, phone connect to WiFi and turn on PC automatically, 'till I get in the house PC is ready. Also with Autovoice, when I wake up in the morning I say "Wake up" and PC turns on 'till I get out of bed.
MAC address entry still needs work. Seems to get stuck every time the colon character is placed. Have to back up every time and retype. Other than that, it's a pretty good app.
Program works well, been using it for months. Ive tried a few others and they didn't work properly.They would all wake it up again the second I turned it off after using WOL. This app works great!
This WOL app is simply the best. I use it a few times a day. If my router or pc are not acting up, this app does the job of waking the device up EVERY SINGLE TIME. Apps and programmers like this is what makes the mobile device ecosphere truly excellent. Thank you thank you THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You ROCK!!! In addition, I used this app on a Galaxy S5, Samsung (Galaxy?) Duos, Samsung Tab S2, a Lenovo tablet that I don't recall the model, a ZTE Axon 7 and currently on my LG V20. If your hardware pc/router supports it and you configured it properly it WORKS...
Works like it should and the tasker plugin is great. Any chance of the option to shutdown on lan (which it appears my PC support), with the tasker plugin, this would be awesome as I can get alexa to startup and shutdown my pc.
Hard to go wrong with this app. It does what it sets out to do exactly. Clear interface and simple to use. Easily the best of similar apps that I've tried.
Doesn't work at all... Set wake on LAN in power management of Ethernet driver. Enabled magic packet. I click wake, and it said woken up... But doesn't.
Easiest one to use. After fighting with the NAS, the router and the original WoL app for days its lovely to find an app that just made it simple. The hard bit is still the router and NAS so don't blame this app if you can't get it to work.
One major downside for me currently is whilst using the widget it'll turn the pc on, but when i turn it off, it will again be turned on without any interaction
This app just keeps getting better and better. Thanks:)
I have this app on every Android device that I own because it just works, the setup is simple, the layout is very organized, and overall minimalistic. I would recommend this application to anyone - Thank you.
Didnt work for me. With other app works fine
First, it works then i tried to use its widget. after that everything's change. It says "PC woken" BUT isn't. I even tried to open the app itself and click the (wake button) but same. it says "woken" but the system is not booting up.
Downloaded watched 3 how to vids. Still couldn't get to work. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Still nothing.
10 seconds to configure. Works perfectly. Didn't expect it to be so easy.
If the wifi requirement could be removed. I connect via VPN to my lan. And have times while on mobile internet that I an on my lan with VPN that I would like to turn on my machines.
it say my pc is awake but it does not, so what am I missing? I press wake and nothing, the computer does not blink, it is a laptop connected hard wire cat5 to the network port.
Only one that works. Tried 5 before finding this. Now I can turn on my NAS from my bedroom to watch porn, err, I mean videos.
It's awesome! I can turn on my server remotely without leaving my room!
Tried using this program for a day or 2 but for some reason it did not seem to function. Perhaps because of my computer not being plugged in to Ethernet.
Does not work.
REMEMBER TO PORT FORWARD ON ROUTERS! AND ADD WEAR SUPPORT!
Does not work on my T460. The app can see if my laptop is on or off but cannot wake up my laptop. Yes, I had enabled WOL
Would be great if Reboot, Sleep, Shutdown for Windows commands were also added, otherwise great app! Thank you.
Doesn't work.
Didn't find my desktop, even when it was on or manually entering the fixed IP address. Other apps did see it.
The app is simple and works great! I just wished it had nfc support.
Needs a sleep r turn off but other than that it Works with no other downloads to pc..
Didn't work
With the Tasker integration I can use Google assistant to turn on my PC! Awesome.
Doesnt allow u to add MAC!
If you pair this with chrome remote desktop you can use your PC anywhere in the world.
can u please add computer shutdown feature also?
It does what it supposed to do. With style ;)
Responded to feature request immediately :)
It does what it says

Works wonderfully! I would give it 5 stars if you could put the comupter back to sleep on command as well. I know there are other apps that do this but it seems they want me to download a file on my PC. Seems risky for spyware. This needs no computer files added the comp to wake it up! Great work!
