Firefly Bluetooth Page Turner Pedal – Programmable, Illuminated Foot Pedal for iPad, Android & PC – Hands-Free Sheet Music Control – Works with forScore, OnSong, MobileSheets & 100+ Apps

It's not often that I find a device that just does everything I need it to do so easily and reliably. The PageFlip Firefly does this for me. (And no I don't work for this company but I wish I had invented it.) I absolutely love this pedal. Amazing quality and Customer Service is thorough and provides help if needed. I've tried a number of page turning pedals and this one always performs consistently and reliably. The 2 pedals (page forward & back in my usual mode) are easy to find and, if I'm in a dark room, the optional light on each pedal works great for finding the correct button to press. Battery life is crazy long too. I play drums and my feet and hands are busy working to play the music so it is imperative that when I take my foot off a drum pedal that I can get back on it after going to the PageFlip without loosing a beat. Everyone in my last band used this pedal as well for Guitar, Keyboard & Bass. They loved it too.

I can't go anywhere without this in my harp bag and always use it when I practice. It makes page turning so much more seamless. Good battery life and timeout. I've forgotten about the battery for periods and it has never died. Reconnects to my Microsoft Surface seamlessly every time I need it. The size is portable and slim.

The PageFlip Firefly BT pedal is a godsend to musicians using digital score readers. It makes page-turning an absolute breeze, almost like the score’s pages are effortlessly turning themselves. This pedal has removed much of my stress during public piano performances. I find it superior to the AirTurn pedal in several ways. As a classical pianist who practices several hours a day, I had been using the AirTurn pedal for about two years. I switched to the PageFlip Firefly about six months ago. I’ve used both pedals with the forScore and Newzik score-reading apps. Advantages, in no particular order, of the PageFlip Firefly over the AirTurn: The PageFlip Firefly is less finicky than the AirTurn. I no longer have to worry about inadvertently turning two pages at once; The PageFlip is easier to find with my foot. The shape of the pedal matches the shape and angle of my foot on the floor. The lightly-corrugated, rather than slick, surface feels more secure; The PageFlip BT pairing mechanism is simple, straightforward, and immediate, whereas the AirTurn is more complex and can be very frustrating to attempt to pair; The PageFlip is more substantial, seems better-made, and seems not to slide on the floor so much; My experience with customer support for the PageFlip (when I wanted to re-program certain pedal functions) was outstanding. My experience with AirTurn’s customer service (when I had trouble pairing with my iPad a couple of times, and once when the pedal failed) varied from excellent to horrible, depending on whom I reached. In the past several months, several of my amateur and professional friends, colleagues, and musical partners have upgraded from the AirTurn to the PageFlip Firefly; they express general agreement about superior functionality. Usage TIP: You can make the process almost effortless—and avoid unnecessary movement, stress, and musical disruption—by resting your foot on the PageFlip pedal itself, rather than on the u.c. (pianists), the floor, or perched at an angle above the pedal. Before you start playing the piece, rest your foot (all the way down) on the Firefly pedal, it turns the score to p.2. Don’t move your foot, and use your finger to tap the iPad to turn back to p. 1. Keep your foot down as you start playing. To turn each page, lift your foot up a bit, then lower it all the way to rest on the pedal again until the next page turn. (Note: For this to work, the Repeat switch on the pedal must be in the off position.)

The PageFlip Dragonfly USB/Bluetooth Pedal is the absolute best companion device for musicians for hands-free control over their sheet music apps running on an iOS or Android Tablet. The 4-pedals operate silently. You do not hear any clicks when pushed making this device ideal in a studio setting. I have been using this device to turn pages in MobileSheets, Songbook+ and ForScore on a 12.9” iPad Pro. You can download the free software from PageFlip to program the pedals on your PC or Mac after establishing a Bluetooth connection. This software lets you assign Keys found on a standard QWERTY keyboard including modifiers like Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Win/Cmd. You may also assign Hot Keys like Play, Stop, Volume Up, Volume Down, Mute, Right Mouse, Left Mouse, etc. Once you have programmed the 4 pedals, you can save these settings under one of the 5 memory banks called Modes. The 5 Mode Buttons gives you access to 20 key combinations that you can trigger from your Dragonfly. One mode can be active at a time. The red LED below a Mode Button indicates the active mode. Besides turning pages in Sheet Music apps the Dragonfly is ideal for triggering frequently used hot keys on desktop software running on your PC or Mac. I have programmed it to take Screenshots in IrfanView and Snagit and navigate through cells on large Excel spreadsheets. Turning on the REPEAT switch comes in handy. I keep the LIGHT switch always turned on. It helps to see the pedals in the dark. The Dragonfly runs on 2 AA alkaline batteries. The unit auto shuts off after 30 minutes on idle. You can view a short video on the PageFlip YouTube Channel where George Wolberg, the inventor of this gadget explains his frustrations as a musician trying to turn the pages on his music book while he plays the piano. That is what led to his perfect solution. I am delighted with the prompt and helpful Customer Service from George. I am 100% satisfied with the PageFlip Dragonfly. It has served all my needs as a musician and programmer.

I'm a guitar player and this device works perfectly to let me use PDFs of music and change pages with my foot while playing. It's well built and easy to setup and use. The only complaint I have is that it's a lot of money for what it does. It's durable plastic but still plastic and costs as much as some BOSS effects pedals and all it does is flip pages on an iPad :/ FYI (and the manufacturer has great resources for this on their web site): it doesn't work with every PDF app. I did a lot of research and settled on PDF Expert, which is a pricey app at $10, but does a fantastic job of letting me mark up PDFs on the fly in rehearsal with notes, stamps and highlights to help with performance. FWIW it also works with Planning Center Online's "Music Stand" app if you're in a church band that uses that app.

I already have a Pageflip Cicada that works terrific with Mobile Sheets music program on my Android tablet. I saw this and decided to give it a try as it appeared to have a few improvements over the previous model. I also wanted a backup just in case my old one went belly up or got lost. The new one has several significant advantages and improvements over the Cicada although that one is still a great device....but for the few extra bucks I recommend this one. Things I like....auto blue tooth pairing instead of having to key in a number that was a bit of a pain on the old version. Appears to a bit faster in response...instantaneous where as the old one sometimes had a slight delay. Has two LED lights that can be turned on or off to help see it in the dark. Still has the 1/8" phone jack so you can connect an external pedal if you wish. Longer pedals with better weight distributin so not as easy to kick it around the stage. 30 minute time out instead of 10 minutes which was an issue on the old one....not enough time before timed out. It still retains the auto off and extremely low battery power useage. Never had to replace the batteries on the old version after months of use. It also still uses 2-AA batteries which are easy to obtain. For those who wonder about the construction....it is plastic but heavy duty...probably ABS and can be stomped on hard with no issues. One improvement is that the pedals now are a bit lower profile and don't require as much travel and sine they are longer it is easy to push them when playing. In short this is worth the upgrade and both it and the Cicada are far superior to the other competitor.

It works! Would be nice if it had a rechargeable battery when you plug it in, but it uses so little juice, it's not a problem.

First of all, the PageFlip Firefly is a GREAT product! I use the Firefly with my iPad Pro running forScore. I play live gigs where I am singing, playing keys and guitar, and running another computer to trigger my background sequences. So, there is a lot to do, with my hands, between each song. Firefly allows me to easily page through each song with my foot. One less thing I have to think about, and the Firefly does the job, without me having to worry if it will work or not. It is that reliable! The Firefly works as advertised and it is a wonderful addition to my setup. The pedal is brilliantly designed. The physical layout has been intelligently configured with buttons and switches on the front and connection options on the backside. It comes with a quickstart guide for setup instructions. Reliability is the most important thing for my gig. The Firefly delivers flawlessly! I just step on the pedal and it turns the page I need to go to. There are also several options that allow you to configure the behavior of the pedal. Aside from the fact that the Firefly is awesome, I have to say that PageFlip's customer service is the BEST! This is the only review I have ever done, and it's because PageFlip deserves it. I had some questions, and I contacted PageFlip. Their response was quick and more helpful than I ever imagined. I love my pedal evenmore now! I would recommend the PageFlip Firefly over other brands anyday!
