Remote App for Turning Pages on Android E Reader

softwaredude · 06-27-2025, 03:36 PM

Hey everyone! I'm a computer science student and a big reader, but I’ve noticed a small frustration while reading on my iPad in bed or on the couch. I’m constantly reaching over to swipe, which breaks my flow. I’m considering building an app that would let you use your phone to turn pages on your tablet, which could also help people with mobility challenges.

Does anyone else feel like this would be useful, or is this something you’ve dealt with? Would you prefer using your phone for this, or do you think a dedicated Bluetooth page-turner would be better? Just trying to understand if this is a real problem worth solving before diving into it. Appreciate any thoughts!

No, it's as pointless for Android as suggested when you mentioned it for Apple.

Really this is a duplicate post.

It doesn't help with mobility issues.
