The best Bluetooth page-turner pedals (2026)

How we picked

A page turner has one job — turn the page, every time, without you thinking about it. The things that separate a great pedal from a frustrating one:

• Reliability — it must connect fast and never drop out mid-song.
• Silent pedals — no click that a stage mic will pick up.
• Battery — rechargeable vs replaceable AA, and how long it lasts.
• Foot feel — easy to find and press without looking down.
• App compatibility — works with your sheet music app and your tablet's OS.

Slim / standing players

iRig BlueTurn

$69–$79 · 2 pedals · rechargeable

The iRig BlueTurn is slim, light, and good-looking, with a rechargeable battery and a low profile that suits players who perform standing. It is not built for the rough-and-tumble of heavy classical page work, but for singer-songwriters and band players it is a tidy, affordable option.

How a Bluetooth page turner works

A page-turner pedal pairs with your tablet or phone exactly like a wireless keyboard. Tap it and it sends a keystroke — usually Page Up / Page Down or the arrow keys — and your sheet music app treats that as turn the page. Because it is just emulating keys, most pedals work with almost any app that responds to keyboard input. Always confirm your app supports external pedal or keyboard control before you buy.

Which apps work with a Bluetooth page turner?

Because these pedals send ordinary keyboard commands, they work with nearly every major sheet music and chord chart app. The thing that actually varies is which platforms an app supports — and that is where a lot of players get caught out.

• Band Central — full page-turner support on iPhone, iPad, and Android, plus the web. If you have a mixed-device band, this is the one setup that works for everyone.
• forScore — excellent pedal support, but iPad only. No Android version exists, so an Android tablet is out.
• OnSong — solid pedal support on iPhone and iPad. Also Apple only, with no Android app.
• MobileSheets — strong pedal support on Android and Windows, and now iOS.
• PDF readers and other apps — most respond to Page Up / Page Down or arrow keys, so a pedal usually works even if the app has no dedicated pedal setting.

If you play on Android, or your band mixes iPhones, iPads, and Android tablets, pick an app that supports pedals on every platform so nobody is left tapping the screen.

How to connect a page turner to an iPad or Android tablet

Pairing takes about a minute and is the same idea on either platform:

1. Turn the pedal on and put it into Bluetooth pairing mode (check its manual for the button combo).
2. On your tablet, open Settings → Bluetooth and tap the pedal when it appears in the device list. It connects like a wireless keyboard.
3. Open your sheet music app and turn on pedal or external-keyboard control in its settings. In Band Central this lives under the foot-pedal settings.
4. Tap the pedal once to confirm the page turns forward, and set the second pedal to page back.
5. Keep the tablet screen awake during a set so the connection never sleeps mid-song.

The steps are identical on Android — the only catch is using an app that actually supports pedals on Android, since some of the best-known iPad apps do not.
