Works Great With Music Stand App
This compact device seems very well built. I use it with the Music Stand app while performing with the church band and it works flawlessly. It does have very limited features so, if you need something that will scroll through lyrics or run a teleprompter, you will want to look into a more expensive device with more options. For my use, battery life gets me through services and rehearsals for 2-3 weeks. Set up for IOS devices is simple enough and I’m very happy with this purchase.

Works well
I used to have to fight with my old page turner to get it to connect to Bluetooth. This one connects instantly with no problems and works as it should.

Useful with the looper pedal if you want to get the most out of it.
Getting info about how this pedal works together with the Lekato looper / loopstation / loopstage (whichever name is not generating a cease and decist order this week) pedal is like pulling teeth, NO ONE has clear answers, NO ONE on youtube shows you exactly which, what, or how. People doing reviews say "I wish it did this" implying the page turner doesn't do things it actually does do. Other people make 35-minute video demos of the looper and give you no actual information on the page turner OR the looper, just making you listen to their noise while they praise their new free pedal and plug their pay-sites. Even the maker's own video demos totally gloss over the how and why part of things, it is an accessory shrouded in mystery. Why? Because it's a cheap pedal and a cheap accessory, but in relation to the price of the actual pedal it's an expensive accessory. So this is what I've concluded:I don't know about turning pages on your smartphone, but regarding use with Lekato loop pedals, here is what is important to know:1. It DOES work wirelessly with bluetooth (or voodoo, or witchcraft, or whatever they're actually doing to make it connect) you switch the page turner on FIRST (I put the switch on the android side but I don't know if it matters) the light on the page turner will blink and THEN plug in the 9v to the looper pedal, when the two connect the blinking light becomes solid. That's it, they are now connected.2. When connected by wire or wireless, it works EXACTLY as the 2 (left and right side) buttons on the looper pedal do, this means:- Hold down the 2 footswitches together to engage or disengage (the inaccurate) tuning mode. HOLD DOWN BOTH sides at once TO WIRELESSLY ENGAGE TUNER, don't let me glaze over that.- Hold down the right-side switch to engage the mode which automatically starts recording when it receives audio (you start playing, it begins recording). The little indicator will show up on the lower right of the loop pedal itself, if you hold it down again it will turn off. If you mess up and cancel the recording on the main pedal, the mode automatically disengages, so do this process again to re-enable the auto record mode because it can be engaged or disengaged as your loop is still playing and it saves a lot of time and bending over if you frequently mess up the timing and have to re-record a layer like I do.3. To move between your looper recordings: example - Recording 1 is playing, press the right-side switch once and the number will advance to 2, it will then move to recording 2 AFTER the current loop ends - if you advanced it to recording 4 it will move from 1 to 4 AFTER the current loop ends, it's very convenient if you have a "track" sequenced with different parts coming in through progressive loops which you are playing over the top of, it's essentially a foot controlled song mode. You can jump to the start of any of your recorded loops, in or out of order forwards or backwards.4. I haven't used the pedal excessively, but the battery seems to last a long time, I think I've charged it twice and the second time was just because I thought that it can't possibly last this long on one charge.5. It is crazy small, if you are an adult human or possibly a human in general it may be uncomfortable getting used to, it may also be too small for you to see what you are doing when your foot is near/over it or use reliably but it is very portable (the pedal and this footswitch are both like that Zoolander "center for ants" joke, only it's real). So, if you are looking to fill a gap between full size pedals these could be hard to access.6. The build quality is decent (decent in imagined italics) and I can't speak to the quality or reliability of the electronic components, only time will tell. they are not exactly soft switches, but I've felt worse momentary footswitches. I also have not done any distance challenge testing on how far away the wireless connection will go but it's presumably bluetooth which has a limit and it would be best to observe and work around that limit if it matters to you.That's everything I can think to answer your "is it worth it?", "can it?" or "how do I?" questions, but ultimately the value is in how you will use the looper pedal or if buying this for turning pages, how important it is to you to be able to turn pages wirelessly with your feet. Does the cost exceed the benefit? If you have no reason to do any of these things I've described, you are a looping pro who does not make mistakes, you only intend to play over one track at a time and your footswitch timing is immaculate so you can start and stop at exactly the right times while calculating the amount of time between foot release and recording start or stop without breaking a sweat, then this pedal will not impress you. I'm a lame, I am not a looper pro, I think that with a cheap pedal (loop stage) this equally cheap accessory (page turner) is a worthwhile addition - these are functions that make the pedal a real tool. They sold you the shovel blade, now buy the handle.

Works perfectly with Lekato Loop Stage
I use this with my Lekato Loop Stage. I've got 9 WAV files with ambient pads stored on the pedal and this wireless page turner works perfectly with my looper pedal. I'm able to switch between different loops that are different keys for playing with. The only thing I have to remember is to switch the wireless page turner on BEFORE powering the looper pedal - otherwise it won't connect.Great product, well built, and fits perfectly on my board.

Great built, great feel, but one glaring bug for a very specific use case
The media could not be loaded. The switch is... ok. TLDR, may work for some, but not all.I'm a musician (vocalist, guitar, trumpet, etc), at times as part of a band ensemble, and at times solo as a one-man-band. For my application, I use an android tablet (tab s8+ on latest android) to read scores, lyrics docs, lyrics videos, etc., while also controlling any mixer function at the time via apps (mixing station for larger consoles, flow for flow-8, EV quicksmart for any EV speakers that support apps, etc.)Here are my thoughts on this pedal after some testing at home.Pros:- Very tactile, feels almost passable to the actuators of floor effect pedals such as guitar effects. Also LOOKS very much like an effects pedal. So if uniformity of feel and looks is your requirement, this will fit right along with your floor pedals collection.- Battery powered, haven't tested the duration, but simple switch like this doesn't take much juice. So always a plus.- As small as it is, decent heft, meaning it won't slide too much.- Supports TRS cable connection, pretty standard, but still a plus.Cons:- Basic functionality compared to other options out there, a) landscape mode or portrait mode for page movements, and b) last page or next page - i.e. up/down one page, or left/right one page, depending on a). If that's enough for your purpose, great, as it does for me, however some might prefer wider variety of options other products offer.- DEAL BREAKER CON - When using split screen function on multiple apps, at least on android for my purpose as described above - score/lyrics sheets app and some sort of mixer app split so I can purpose while also watching my mixes, the two buttons do NOT respond to the same app. Page up/left would be stuck responding ONLY to app A, while page down/right would be stuck responding ONLY to app B. Don't have such problems with other pedals I also had bought to try.For the record your mileage may vary if you're on other platform (ios, windows, etc), but for my use case with an Android tablet, it was an unfortunate misfit. I fathom it being a page turner as a musician, there should be at least some of you who'd run into the same problem as me needing to run 2 apps at once.
