You can tell someone paid attention to detail with this App. For example, it auto-inserts the colons : in the Mac Address, and it auto capitalizes the letters - this is a huge time saver when configuring new connections. Also, I've tried half a dozen of these on my Apple Devices and it works for me on each one (iPhone, Mac, iPad) - which is great because you only need to pay for it once and not waste time with an array of this type app. Lastly, I'll mention that the connections are shared with all my Apple devices where I have it installed and I'm logged into the same AppleID on each - also another huge time saver. Thank you to the developer for making a quality app like this!

Update: After the latest patch, Siri works like a charm. :) This app + the service that runs on the PC allows for sending Sleep, Wake, Reboot, and Shutdown commands from my phone to PC’s on my network; and shortcut actions exist to accomplish this from the home-screen. Very cool! “Wake” shortcut action is listed twice in the list of shortcuts selections, and no “Sleep” is listed, so I have to open the app anyways in order to get the full set of commands. Developer seems unresponsive so far. Not very cool. Overall though works very well and is well-designed.

this has been my all time favorite magic packet app, and i've been looking forward to the changes made in the latest update, but the ability to disable the "shutdown" "sleep" and "restart" functions _seem_ to have been removed. I loved that it was one button press to turn on a computer remotely, but now it's two and i don't need the other functions, and would rather have the old functionality back. Amazing update though, having actions as widgets is incredible, i do wish the control center actions didn't have to be tied to a specific host.
