## What is PageTurn?

Navigate scores, PDFs, ebooks, and webpages hands-free with simple facial gestures.

Designed with musicians in mind, PageTurn lets you turn pages or scroll without taking your hands off your instrument. Use intuitive gestures like mouth movements to move through sheet music, practice materials, fake books, and performance set lists.

PageTurn is useful beyond the music stand, too. Read ebooks, follow recipes, browse webpages, and keep moving through content while your hands are busy cooking, cleaning, teaching, practicing, or performing.

Built-in document tools make it easy to stay organized. Bookmark PDFs, ebooks, and webpages, keep track of recent files, create set lists for performances or practice sessions, and jump back into the material you use most often.

PageTurn also works beautifully with Apple Pencil. Annotate sheet music and documents directly with notes, markings, and highlights, then save your changes when you’re done.

Whether you’re rehearsing at the piano, performing from a score, reading on the go, or following a recipe across the kitchen, PageTurn keeps your content moving with you.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-16, version 3.0*

Great

### 3/5 — Awesome… then not so much

*2026-04-24*

I was excited to find this program where I could use linking to turn the music rather than facial gestures because I am a vocalist as well as play. I stumbled across this app in my search and downloaded it onto my phone to try. It worked beautifully. The app description showed it compatible with the iPad- has a screenshot of the fully customizable setting section- so I bought it.
However, 
Upon downloading it to my iPad there is no option showing up for winking instead of mouth movement, which is most disappointing because I would be using my iPad for my music rather than my iPhone. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app hoping it was just a glitch but I have yet to find a successful way to find this particular feature- which was the whole reason I bought this app.

### 2/5 — Impossible to test the app

*2026-02-18, version 2.2*

To open one single included PDF file is not signifiant enough. We cannot test usage with several files and I would like to know if it is us able with forScore.

### 2/5 — Annotation feature not working

*2025-11-15*

Writing this in the hopes someone can help me. The app is great for page turns but I cannot get the annotation feature to work. Can’t justify buying an app that doesn’t allow marking or notes. I will update this review if I hear back from the developer.

### 5/5 — Quite Good

*2025-10-22, version 2.2*

Im a beginner in playing piano. The app helps me quite well because I can concentrate on my playing and do not need to struggle with the scores and the keyboard. 10€ is a very fair value for money 
Great support by the developer - thanks a lot Stephen!

### 1/5 — A good idea but nothing to test

*2025-07-29, version 2.1.2*

The idea of using face recognition to flip pages is a very good one that, but it is difficult to test it fully using the single PDF provided and having no access to other possible gestures. As a singer, i have to open my mouth more than one time every page …
To make your app worth buying, you guys need to unlock a bit more functionalities …

### 3/5 — Annotate broken

*2025-02-08*

The annotation feature doesn’t work. I have emailed weeks ago and not heard back. The sensitivity features seem to change and need adjustment regularly. Sad to admit I haven’t been brave enough to use during performance for lack of confidence in the app. I really want it to work. Hopefully I can hear back from the developer soon and get help to make it work.

### 5/5 — I have missed this all my piano life!

*2024-12-18*

I just love this app!

### 5/5 — Works great for me!

*2024-12-02*

Love this app. It has taken practice to keep my mouth still or not turn my head until ready to change pages. 😃 I love being able to continue to the next page without taking my hands off the piano.  Thank you!

### 2/5 — It’s ok. Could be better

*2024-11-23*

The demo was fine. I thought anyway. I bought it and added my music. It was ok at the beginning but I think I pressed a button and  somehow it now shows me two pages now. If I zoom in, it always skips a page when I change pages. The automatic page turning with the mouth sometimes stops working. Then I play around in the app and it starts working again.  Not sure what i am doing wrong but it’s very difficult to get it working like it should. I just want one page turning and the mouth to work, but if I press certain buttons it all goes away and I can’t get it to work well again. A little frustrating for the amount this cost. But the editing works fine and I like that feature.
