I do read that the blue tooth [on the Pageflip Cicada] goes off after 5 minutes, so maybe that is what is causing you problem.

That's part of the problem -- sometimes I need to press the pedal twice, other times it reacts after only one press, and the inconsistency certainly doesn't help. However, there's also the fact that the pedal moves through a larger arc than on the AirTurn, and I seem to have difficulty figuring out exactly where the trigger point is; this is the part where it may work better for you than it does for me. There are people who like the Cicada a lot, so clearly this isn't a universal issue.

Do you know if (since the update) anyone else has the same problem.with the Cicada?

If you mean the problem with slow page turns, I'm pretty sure that was a general issue for all bluetooth pedals. In version 4.08 of MobileSheets I had that problem with both pedals, and I don't have it with either one now, so I'd be surprised if anyone else did.

The problems I'm having with the Cicada are more a matter of personal preference.

Does it seem pretty much concensus that the AirTurn BT-105 bluetooth pedal works better with Excite (or others) tablets ?

If you do a general web search, I think you'll find people arguing both sides of that question. :-)

Here are a couple of web sites which do a head-to-head comparison:

These should give you a good idea of the tradeoffs involved between the two models.
