Comments on Wake On Lan for Android

★★★★★ It's simple, it does what it says it will do, and it works well. What more can you ask for?
★★★★★ Works for wake on lan. However, the Wi-Fi options is always NA. I wonder if the support will be added.
★★★★★ This app has limited function only works for wake up the device.
★★★★★ Works well. Only minor issue is that the WOL option in the swipe-down notification bar menu only works when the app is running, making it kinda pointless. Allow background usage is enabled.
★★★★★ Great app, simple setup but it does not show the correct status of my device, it always shows it as turned off. Still works though but a small gripe.
★★☆☆☆ For me, it doesn't work at all - I can't add any devices because I of error message: "Failed to add device! Index -1 requested, with a size of 0"
★★☆☆☆ Not on any known device. Hopefully this review will curtail illegal bricking by Google or whatever carrier wishes to participate.
★★☆☆☆ Trying to find a fing replacement as I hate having to connect to my Linux server to WOL a system that's fallen off of ARP. Mixed on the remote WOL idea. This app's UI/UX is terrible.

Description by Mike Webb Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Easily wake up computers from your phone/tablet!

* For this app to work, you need to make sure that your computer and network is set up for and supports Wake On Lan / WOL *

Automation
------------------------------
Automate waking up your computers by sending an intent broadcast from apps such as Llama and Tasker!
In the latest version there is now support for Tasker plugins to make it even easier to automatically wake devices.
Instructions on how to do this are available in the latest version of the app under the help section.

Quick Feature List
------------------------------
* Groups
* Network Search (Find devices on your network and add them to your list. No more finding out MAC addresses etc!)
* One touch wakeup widget for both devices and groups (A widget with online status is coming soon)
* Tasker plugin
* Intent Broadcast support (See instructions inside app help section for details on this)
* CSV Import/Export - So you can share your list of devices easily!
* Material Design (Taking suggestions on this!)
* Auto-Refreshing Device Online Status (Using both ports and ping)
* Supports Wake On Lan(WoL) and Wake On Wan(WoW)
* SecureOn

For WoW, just set the broadcast address to be the remote IP address of the device. This may require some extra setup on the remote network to make sure that the wakeup packets actually arrive on the remote device.

If you're trying to wake up a device that is connected via WiFi it may not work, there's not many WiFi cards that support the WOL standard. WOL works best via an ethernet connection. Some devices such as laptops may not support WOL very well or at all. Some might only work when they are in sleep mode, and others might allow you to turn it on when it is powered off.

Permission Details
---------------------------------
Photos/Media/Files/USB Storage - This is used for reading/writing CSV files to your internal storage so that you can copy your list of devices to other devices easily.

Network/WiFi - This is so that the app can actually send the magic packets to wake up your devices. It is also used in the network search screen and for pinging devices to see if they are online.
