Mocha WOL Reviews

by Camel_case

A spartan app, which works as advertised - I have a couple of computers I want to wake while on my home network, and I can use MochaWOL to wake them up.

A couple of feature suggestions that could make MochaWOL great:
* Ability to show status from the main screen
* A “force touch” menu to wake a computer.

To wake up already configured host, one has to do several taps. This is inconvenient. It would be better to have configured hosts as icons on the first screen to wake selected immediately.

The new UI is much cleaner and this is a great simple app for waking up computers on your network.

I think the only problem is it needs to be a little quicker to get to the actual wake up button. The menu item should be above the configure option since you will be waking up more often than configuring and with more room open at the bottom of the screen at the initial menu page, it would be nice to have a larger "wake up" button that wakes up your top IP address. That way a click to open MochaWOL and a click of that button could send the packet.

Seems to work just fine. There is a basic scanner which can retrieve machine names but not the Mac address. It's just one extra step to enter manually but not a biggie.

What if my pc is wireless and encrypted & Do I need to adjust my norton firewall settings??

Works to boot my PC, which is what matters most. It baffles me though that every time I start MochaWOL it brings me to the configure page, as if that is the most common scenario. This requires 4 taps to boot my machine, when ideally it should be one. Great otherwise...

Just found MochaWOL for Wake on Lan & Wake on Wan as I was looking for a replacement for a 32-bit app I had been using for years. With iOS 11 I can no longer use that app & found Mocha. Thank you Mocha. Seriously.

I'd make one suggestion for MochaWOL , it'd be nice if we could choose to have the "wake up" screen show up when first opening MochaWOL . Other than that, this is great.

Very easy to configure and easy to use!! Been trying to use Splashtop WOL, will be using this until they get it together and come out with interactions on how to configure that!!

I don't have time to mess with my router settings and this does the trick of waking my Mac (connected to my router by ethernet cable) from my iPhone and iPad so I can access my iTunes Home Sharing from anywhere in my home. I haven't tried waking using 3G yet, but for local stuff, this is great!

MochaWOL works great! I have my router configured to forward the wake on LAN packet from MochaWOL, when I am away from home, and it works perfectly! I can also wake up my desktop with in my local network as well. MochaWOL is free and is the perfect solution. Why pay for some other app when this is free with no ads and works great?

I haven't done any extensive testing with it, but it was really easy to set up and I was able to wake my sleeping laptop over wifi with no problem. The only think I would add is maybe a quick wake up button on the home screen for a most recent or favorite computer. It's a little annoying to have to click through menus to get to the option. But it's not really a big deal.

I have a Windows Home Server upstairs that I don't leave turned on all the time, so wanted a program to wake it up from downstairs. Installed this program, entered the MAC address, and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for an awesome app, one that's free!

Generally, this is an absolutely excellent app, supporting both Wake on Lan, and Wake on WAN as well. Both work as advertised.

Still, if I'm allowed a little constructive criticism on this (again) excellent and versitile app, I would say it could use a little sharpening in the UI. If the primary purpose of MochaWOL is to wake a computer up, why am I brought to a selection menu asking what I want to do (Wake, configure, etc) each time I boot it up? Maybe other people have a much deeper tweaking need with their WOL needs, but for me it seems odd to have MochaWOL 's primary function buried under an extra layer of UI.

Love MochaWOL , trying to figure out if it supports Siri Shortcuts? Got Siri to open MochaWOL , but trying to wake pc with one voice command

Before Moca WOL, I have tried the other free apps with nice looking interface and 4.5 stars but they don’t work.

Moca WOL works right after configuring it with my NAS. No frills! No hassle! Right on!

Does what it’s supposed to!

Please have MochaWOL do a dns lookup every time when a domain is entered instead of an ip address. I have to create a new connection every time my IP address changes.

I have a windows 10 PC.

Make sure wake on land is enabled under the Ethernet controller in device manager.

Open up a command line and type “ipconfig /all ” without quotes

Found IP and MAC address(can be called physical address)

Filled out the boxes (IP and MAC) in the Mocha app.

Left everything else default

Turned off PC.

Walked away and pressed “wake up” and it worked.

Took less than 5 mins.

Good and straight forward app.

It pings your target until it wakes up and then let you know that the target computer is online.
Using your router software , be sure to assign a constant IP address for the target PC in your intranet.

MochaWOL is great for beginners who are new to waking up their computers via network. Others have complained the interface isn't the best. Though I don't have any issues with the interface. Overall, this is a good app.

It’s awesome
