Samsung began pushing out an update to Lollipop (5.0.2) to Samsung Note users. I installed the update on my note 12.2 (SM-P900)  and it broke connectivity to Airturn BT-105.  This also breaks BT connectivity to Logitech and other keyboards. Airturn is aware of the problem and has isolated it to Samsung/Google. Many have filled support tickets with Samsung. However, Samsung is an oblivious, bumbling, bureaucracy...

Does the mobilesheets app itself work OK with this update?

That's one interpretation of the situation. Another might be that they are heading towards a proprietary system and stopping the use of 3rd party hardware devices is a step in that direction.

Yes, both MobileSheets and MobileSheets Pro seem to work fine under Samsung Note Pro 12.2 with Android 5.0.2. I didn't see any problems other than the bluetooth issues to pedals and keyboards.

My comment is based on my experiences interacting with their customer support, who are clueless with what is going on with their product and other parts of the company...

This appears to be a Samsung Android bug that is being worked based on interaction with partner R&D organizations. No ETA on update.

What does "No ETA on update" mean?

Estimated Time of Arrival.

In other words "we don't know when the problem will fixed" or "don't hold your breath" Smile .
