Wireless Page Turner App For
iGigBook®
With iGigBook Pager loaded onto your iPhone/iPod Touch you can wirelessly signal page turns for songs in your iGigBook set list. You can advance by a single page by pressing a button or by motion detection. Using motion detection you can advance by a single page by waving your hand, moving your foot or any other means of moving the device. The movement required is not as severe as shaking and can be dialed in to meet your specific needs.
iGigBook Pager connects to iGigBook via Bluetooth which means you will need it enabled on both devices. When the two devices have successfully connected, the button text of iGigBook Pager will change from RED to GREEN. If either device goes into sleep mode the connection or session will be disrupted, to re-establish the connection exit from the PDF view in iGigBook and then return to it.
The wireless page advance feature is available whenever you display a song.
