iNet WOL - Wake on Lan App Reviews

nothing missing

Works great to WOL my 2010 Mac Mini remotely over the Internet! Key steps: - Have a dynamic DNS service to point to your network's external IP. Enter this static address into the app - Set up my Time Machine to forward UDP 9 to my Mac's static IP address It can be done. Contact this app's tech support if you have issues. Don't leave a bad review just because you don't try hard enough or you fail because you don't know what you are doing. Again, it can be done and works beautifully on my 2

I thought this was working to wake via internet…I set up port forwarding on my router as per the instructions but after a day, it stopped waking via internet. It wakes when I’m on my local network but it’s not worth paying for an app that only saves me a short walk to the office. App seems to work for other reviewers so maybe its just my hardware setup.

etherwake, a command line app in Linux that does the exact same thing, is a whopping 11kb; yet, for some reason this is 63mb. What possible justification can there be for that? It's not even a universal app, and there's no real graphics to speak of. I have no idea how large it was when I first downloaded it in 2010. It has always worked as advertised, though.

Simple, easy and best of all, it actually works :)

Awesome! Worked as described over the Internet, both wake on LAN and sleep.

Works great over intranet or internet, after your router is setup, of course.

A little nicer than iWOL, get a dd-wrt router for wake on lan over the Internet and then follow the dd-wrt instructions for wake on lan.

Nice app but would be better if it can turn off windows computers not just macs.

Used to use iWol because it was one of the first ones on the app store to do wol but this app is much more configurable and easy to use. It works great. Can't wait for version 2.0 coming out in november 2010 to support iOS4!

Great app - works perfectly on LAN or Internet. I would give it a 5 the second they allowed for remote shutdown/reboot/hibernate on Windows 7 machines.

Works perfectly over 3G and wifi. Now I can let my computer sleep AND still use LogMeIn to gain remote access. Keep up the good work! I use a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard by the way.

Set this up in seconds. can now wakeup my home machine (to use RDP or such) via the internet. Does exactly what is says on the tin !

a little help… after installing Os X lion it won't let my mac to wake up or reboot…not even in local network. one thing let me do is sleep. please a little help if you figure this out

It works perfectly! DDWRT has a configuration / firmware that allows it to work on a Linksys router.

Very good app, it does exactly what it says, in a easy way!

Wonderful app. Easy to setup, use, and to the point. I don't know if it's possible, but please add the remote sleep, shutdown, and restart for Windows OS - with that it would be complete and perfect!

Does exactly what it suppose to- works on internal wifi and via 3G. The iPhone app deserves 5 stars, but I'm giving it 4 because there is no larger interface for the iPad ( but it is fully functional on either device).

WOL worked just the way I expected on local and remote wifi networks. I don't understand people who drop stars for features that were never advertised to begin with. I did my homework before buying and haven't been disappointed.

Wakes my pc.... Every time... All the time... Whenever I wAnt.... Awesome app

Works perfect every single time!

Works great. I use my iTouch to turn on other machines remotely. Saves me time every day.

This app has worked perfectly for me 100% of the time! I use it to wake my Mac desktop, so I can send files to it from my iPad and iPhone. Worth every penny of the price.

Great app does exactly what it says it'll do! Use it mostly over 3G and works every time

Very easy interface, works well. Have to be connected to your network to work. Wasn't able to do remote over the Internet, but it's still very good product.

I control my Mac Mini from anywhere inside and outside my house. Great job.

Excellent. Does what it claims with an easy UI

Highly recommended app. No trouble setting up for my home computers.

Beautiful UI, powerful tools, simple to use. Well worth 2 dollars.

...however, setting up WOL on the PC may not be trivial...especially when configuring a router for WOL over the internet. Once it's done correctly, this App works exactly as advertised. Good job!

App works perfectly. Please add Apple Watch support for WOL. Tried wake on lan competitors with Watch support, but they do not work as consistently.

I can make my Mac lie down (sleep) and play dead (shutdown), but it seems to hate waking up just as much as me.

if I can get it working :-) Trouble is, I can't get a reply from the developer to figure out what's not working when trying to "wake" over the Internet. Nice enough interface for a simple one-note utility, but given everything looks correct and I can't get in touch to find out what's not working, I'll hold off on the 5 stars :-)

Only 2 stars because it doesn't always wake the computer and doesn't always succeed in putting it to sleep, either. This app should be only $0.99.

Would have been great if it was $0.99 instead.
