Yosemite for the Mac and iOS 8.X are required on your devices. You have to turn it on in System preferences in the General Pane. Also be sure Bluetooth is enabled and you are signed into iCloud with the same account on all devices. You also have to have it turned on on the other devices. If all of this is done, you should be able to find any applications in the Dock that are being handed off from another device. Equally so, in the lock screen of the iDevice, there will be the name of an app or apps that can be handed off for use there.
