Off Remote App Reviews

Great app that gives parents control of kid's computer time. Tell them they have 20 minutes, set the app, and listen for the scream for when the computer locks. The kids can go read a book or something.....

I love it when an app says it will do some useful thing I want and then...does it an does it well. Off does. Thank you Hobbyist Software.

Does exactly what it says it does. It's fun to type messages while someone else is on the computer.

When I am too lazy to go down and turn off the computers. I just lay in bed and turn them off. Works great.

App works how it is intended to. I'm able to shutdown\sleep my computer from another room. GREAT APP!!!

Microsoft Security Essentials detected a trojan "hroosguy.dll" after installing the accompanying desktop software for this app which proceeded to infect and cripple my system. If you value the security of your machine and the data on it, stay clear of this app.

Works like it says

Easy setup, works great. Simple!

Another smartly designed app to save effort. My VLC Streamer pc is two floors down from my bedroom floor.

Will now put computer to sleep for 30 seconds and then turns back on magically. Other options (off, restart, etc) either do same or nothing at all.

A sleep timer and remote for my two macs? Fantastic! Couldn't ask for anything more.

it works perfectly.

I use this along with Remote Desktop and Mocha Wake on LAN (mwol) to remotely control two desktops over wifi from my phone. Also lets me shut the computer off when the kid's screen time is up.

I use this app to limit my son's PC time and it works great. I have two feature requests. One is to configure automatic warning messages that go out periodically. My other request is to extend the control to Apple devices. I would happily pay more for both features. Great App.

So, great, you can turn the computer off or put it to sleep. But you can't wake it up. What's the point??? Wasted my money.

I can check all pc's in the house in one view without going from room to room! Love this app!

There are free pieces of software that do the same thing and don't need yet another piece of software installed on your PC. MS Remote Desktop can COMPLETELY control your windows machine, is free, and written by Microsoft. Mac remote control is tricker, but it also always remote power on functions. All in all, this app is ok, but I don't do apps that need "helpers," since you don't know precisely what info they are/aren't sending out to the Internet. Helper apps can EASILY be spyware in disguise, even though the author didn't design it as such.

Super useful.

Love it, works great every time

This app does exactly what the description says it does. Would like it better if you could turn on the PC as well. But still great!

After lying in bed and finishing my show for my good night sleep, I able to turn off my computer without having to walk up to it

Control of your network

I like to play music through my desktop computer speakers running an airplay simulator. My phone is synced with my laptop which has all my music so this is the most efficient way I could control what is played on my desktop from bed. I set a timer with this app so that after I fall asleep my computer isn't running all night. Works just as advertised without and glitches. Just download a helper program on your pc so that the remote can see it and send the shutdown command. Can recommend for $3 but would be nice to see it at $1.

Worked for me 1 time now all of a sudden it does not, im extremely knowledgable in computers so its not my pc or any software its the app itself.

Works just as its advertised. I haven't had any issues. It's also nice to able to assign a port so I can use it behind a NAT/Firewall. Kudos.

After the update to sierra, there is a bug that makes it impossible for the program to use. I contacted support and received this response. Here is the conversation: I'm afraid I haven't had time to investigate this further so I can't give you any more info. If you feel that you have been mis-sold, then the best bet will be to contact Apple to ask for a refund (I have no power to give refunds myself). Sorry I don't have a better answer.

By far this is the best app I have ever purchased. I have bought many but this is the first that delivers on what it promises. It's nice to be able to turn off kids computers who fall asleep and leave them on.

This app works flawlessly. I first used the free version, I liked it so much that I decided to buy and help support you guys. I highly recommend this app. Oh and also I would like to suggest perhaps in the new update or even if your planning on updating this I would very much appreciate it if you where able to integrate this with amazon's echo/echo dot thanks.

If you have VLC remote, you need this handy little app as well. After you are done watching a movie you simply shut off your computer with this app. You don't even have to get up. It's the ultimate in anti-fitness.

Great job!

I'm very surprised that many more people are not using this app. I believe it's absolutely a work of art and a must have!!

I was looking for an app that would let me shut down my kid's computer from downstairs after hollering like an idiot for the fifth time and getting nowhere. This does that and more. The ability to send a warning message and set a timer are awesome features. This is going to save me and my wife's vocal cords and politely but firmly set boundaries for my kid. Nice work!

Nice little program. Works like a charm. Love the timer, it's nice to know all my computers get shut down even after I've gone to sleep. Don't hesitate to get it.

The app works perfectly. I have them paired with my home workstation and use it when I am watching movies or tv shows and am lazy to get up and turn of the screen or computer. The only thing I would want to add is being able to remotely turn my computers off when I am away from the wifi the computer is on.

Works pretty well. Wish it had the ability to turn off and sleep remotely (dynamic DNS).

Does exactly what it says. Simple interface, works great.

It helps me to shut my sons computer down. has a habit of leaving it in in all night

This is a great app and it works perfectly for me.

Works well and stable. No issues. Just install the helper and start using the app.

Did everything by instructions...does not work!!!!windows 7....keep loading..when I comeback to apps,it sas install!!!is there any way to get money back...this is a robbery!!!!!

I like being able to shutdown my iMac from bed. Found it free on Apps Gone Free app.

📢 It really messed up my PC, I had to uninstall and then reinstall some of my Applications on my PC that Wi-Fi affiliate it due to app HOGGING All of the resources Wi-Fi Applications needed to run.

I'm lazy and fat soo this is Right for me :)

The program works just fine. What the world needs now is an app that turns the computer on from the sofa!

Great app, only con remotely operates locally

It does what it says it does.

I put this on my brother and stepbrothers laptops and when they get deep into their nerdy games I turn their laptops off...it's funny bc they think it's their batteries...,

Have a htpc tucked away in a corner connected by a long hdmi cable to the living room tv. This app is great for putting it to sleep if left logged on - no need to turn tv on and go through he steps to make it sleep, much quicker to check if it is awake from this app and make it sleep.

It worked perfectly UNTIL your August 14th 2015 update that you put out. Now when i try to send a command to sleep or power off using the app, NOTHING happens. Please fix this
