A user put together the guide I've attached for using flic buttons with MobileSheets. Let me know if that helps get you the information you are looking for. I have a couple flic buttons myself for testing and they work fine if configured as an HID so that they send key presses like "page down".
That's a lot of work. The new Flic buttons has Universal Actions. If i e.g. program Push as arrow-right, and Double push as arrow-left, you can connect the button to any BT device. in MSP just use the button to perform pedal actions like next-page and previous-page. You don't need the App for this anymore.
Did you set up the flic button as an HID? Did you pair it in the bluetooth settings (and make sure to try clearing the pairing and repairing)? If that's all fine, where exactly are you seeing a problem? If you go into Settings->Touch & Pedal Settings->Pedal Actions, tap the keys field for pedal 1, tap clear and press the button does anything show up?
The more information you provide, the easier it is for me (and others) to help you.

I struggled alot with getting the flic button to work with MobileSheets for iPad myself. Today, I found a solution. The main tricks are as follows: Make sure you setup the flic button as a universal device and program the keystrokes you want into the flic using the Flic app. Once you have the 3 keystrokes programmed and save the flic settings as a Universal Bluetooth device, you can close the Flic App. Then go to your devices Bluetooth settings and remove (Forget) all the Flic buttons. Turn Bluetooth off, and then on again. Once Bluetooth is back on, press your newly reprogrammed Flic button and it should pop up as "FLIC", available to pair. Pair it and now the Flic device should show up with a name like "Flic BHXX-XXXX U". The key is that the Flic Device name ends with a "U" meaning that it is setup as a "Universal" device now and not dependent on the Flic App to work. Once you have your Flic button reconnected as Universal, go into MobileSheets - Settings - Pedal Actions. Click on "Pedal 1" and then you can "Clear" what is in there. Then press the "Flic" button you want to assign and capture your desired keyboard action. Repeat for the other "Flic" clicks, such as Press, Long Press and Double-click. Then "CLOSE" out of the Pedal Action settings and test it all. I hope this helps.
Looks like an interesting alternative to a foot pedal and not overly expensive. I'd be interested in finding out how you are using it, do you have it attached to your instrument? Do you clip it on your clothes or on your music stand, do you use the wrist strap?...

Slim button in a large shoe can do magic.
LOL!
I have decided to get one and experiment with it. Sadly I don't play the sort of instrument that I could really attach it to (and I play multiple instruments in one performance anyway) so I've ordered the clip and will try using it attached to my clothes, on a cord around my neck, in a pocket...

My Flic button arrived this morning It's smaller than I imagined and I got a clip for it too. I am having trouble setting it up though. I've programmed the keystrokes for MS page turns but when I click to "save and disconnect" to finalise Flic Universal mode, it comes up with this error...

I don't see any firmware updates available. I've sent a message to Flic and will see if I get a response

I have now managed to set up the Flic as a universal device for mouse commands and I see there is an option in MS settings to use mouse clicks but I still can't get that to work with the Flic. Should I be configuring the Flic as a pedal or a mouse? TBH I really don't have a clue what I'm doing. I may be programming conflicts that are making it not work.
I have cleared all my pedal actions for the moment so I can focus on the Flic. Ideally I'd like one push to activate my next link, and a double push to turn a page. Do I need keyboard commands for these and if so, where do I find them? The Flic didn't seem to like or recognise the keyboard actions I put in previously though and I don't know where they came from now either...

Did you try post #35?
Yes, but they didn’t work. As mentioned, I got as far as save & disconnect then got the error message

You have to set the flic up as an HID to send key commands. Using it with mouse commands will not work. Then go through these steps:
1) Load MobileSheets, tap the three dots at the top right and then Settings.
2) Tap Touch & Pedal Settings and then Pedal Actions
3) Tap the "Keys" field for Pedal 1.
4) Tap the "Clear" button on the dialog.
5) Press the flic button. If a key shows up, it's working properly
6) If a key shows up, tap OK, then select the action you want that button to trigger from the dropdown below the keys field. Repeat these steps for pedal 2 using the double push of the button.
