Hey folks,
Thought I'd already updated this, but appears not. I'm no longer using the Flic 2 as there are just too many issues:
Strike 1 - Turns out Flic 2 doesn't have a keyboard actions selection on Android, so it absolutely won't work for Bandhelper on the Android tablets and phones and we have a mix in the band.
Strike 2 - We've been having a LOT of issues with the buttons randomly mixing up commands, i.e. confusing a single click (my down arrow) with a double click (my up arrow), so lyrics will randomly scroll back up instead of down mid-song (sometimes repeatable, sometimes not).
Strike 3 - Since we bought a Flic 2 3-pack, we had a couple extras to swap out when we had issues (since we can't use them for the 2 band members with Androids anyway). But God forbid you have issues mid gig, because after you delete the offending Flic 2 from the app, the app will tell you the next Flic 2 that you try to sync with the tablet is already in the list (even if it's never been sync'd before) and you may even end up having to reboot the tablet to clear out the Flic app's memory or whatever.
So, I'm no longer recommending the Flic 2.
The follow up question would be, is there a handheld bluetooth page turner that does the same thing as the IK Multimedia iRig BlueTurn? We have one (and a BlueBoard) and both of them JUST WORK with Bandhelper and whatever else you use them for. I have the BlueBoard on my pedal board set up to do up/down/right/tempo and all I have to do is turn on the Blueboard, open Bandhelper, hit the MIDI button at the top of the playlist, select "connect to a bluetooth device" and select my Blueboard. The BlueTurn is even easier as after initial setup you just turn it on and Bandhelper is good to go. The only issue with it is my wife/vocalist doesn't want to do a foot control so she holds it in her hand, but it's rather large.
Doesn't anyone make a plain bluetooth no-app-required page turn device in a handheld format??
Thanks,
Jeff
