Doesn't work with wifi pc

This app is for wired pc's only. Wish I would have known that before buying
Can't get it to work

I am sure my settings are wrong. I emailed for support and heard nothing. I am sure it is a good app if you know how to use it. How about coming out with an app that sets up automatically? I port forwarding and all that is not for me. Poor customer service.
Don't Waste Your Money
Bach your face off
Wasn't able to wake up my computer over the wireless network or the cellular network. After I bought this app I found a free one that worked right off the bat.

Works as advertised

What can I say? It wakes up my computers. Of course, you need to actually KNOW how Wake on Lan works and configure your computer/app properly for it to work. Also, if you intend on making Wake on Lan work over cellular, make sure you configure your router properly for it. I can't stress enough that you need to understand technology to be able to use it.
Be wary

Downloaded the app, set it up. Doesn't work. Went to the website for troubleshooting support, only then did I discover that in order to get this app to work properly I have to do a substantial change to my home network setup that wasn't mentioned in the app's description above. I *could* do it, yes, and then the app would probably work, but it would be a major pain and it would have been nice to have been told what my system required *before* I bought the app. Congratulations on getting my dollar.
Great App

Looking for a simple, straight forward way to wake a PC over my LAN. This app works exactly as advertised. However, more important to me is the support from the developer. I had questions about setting up the app to work while away from home over 3G ... The developer helped every step of the way. Dave ... You're one of the good ones! Keep up the great work and thank you!
Good App, responsive Developer

This 99 cent app is very worthwhile, especially when coupled with Teamviewer or a similar remote access program, allowing full control of a pc via an iPhone or iPad when traveling. The app absolutely works, although many users may, like me, have to muddle through establishing Wake on Lan (WoL) on their network interface card and their router and BIOS. Once these things are all set and the PC has a static IP address within the LAN, the app works very well. I can now turn my PC off when I go on a trip, turn it on with my iPhone and/or iPad, access files and peripherals, i.e. external HDD, and then shut it down when I am finished. For a non-technical person like me, this is a big step! Equipment includes a Linksys E3000 router, PC running Windows 7 64-bit and iPhone & iPad.
Doesnt work

Didnt work for me. If it costs $ and says 'automatically connects' it should do that. Also what is the use of having something for the iPad that doesn't connect via wifi? Did I miss something?
