Very satisfying, wonderful sound, so happy this app exists! ### 5/5 — Just like the original *2024-02-16, version 1.4.0* I own the blue electron echo. Listening to both side by side I can say that this app is a lovingly accurate recreation of the original. This is a blast to play around with. There are a ton of songs that have been included! Keep up the great work. I hope you continue to add to this app, because it helps to keep this piece of childhood memories alive. :) ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2023-11-28, version 1.4.0* Brings me back to my childhood 🥰 thanks to whomever created this! ### 5/5 — Lovely! *2021-06-01, version 1.4.0* Just like I remember it. Thank you so much for making this, you can tell a lot of love was put into it 💜 ### 5/5 — Absolutely Love It! *2020-06-30, version 1.4.0* Wow, this is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! I need to find out a way I can record this. 😀 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2018-08-05* Thanks for making this app! Brings back so many good memories! Just as fun as the real thing (minus feeling those little buttons under my fingers😂), I recommend this to anyone who remembers playing this little piano as a child. ### 5/5 — Brilliant!! *2018-02-12, version 1.4.0* I stumbled on this when I was looking for a bitcoin cash wallet. Glad I did. An awesome bit of nostalgia, I had one of these in blue. So did my sister. The small touches, down to the sound it made when the battery wears out. Apart from that ‘crunchy’ sound it made then too. Bleeding horrible. Great work Dev. You have gone over and above anything this needed to be. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Nostalgic fun *2016-01-09, version 1.4.0* I really enjoy this virtual recreation of the old toy electronic pianos from my childhood. Thanks for all the effort that's been put in to making this! ### 5/5 — Faceman5050 is a kid again. *2015-11-22, version 1.3.0* Ok I had many of these given to me. I never mastered them but I loved them cause they fascinated me as a kid. I always had a fondness for the pink colored ones. Don't know why. Today I saw a post about toys every kid had from the 80's. Not sure what number it was but non the less there was a jewel of my youth. So to google I went and low and behold the first thing that popped up was a iOS app. I was like omg I must have this now!!! Thank you sir or madam for making this app. It fills a void and it gives me a chance to buy a device without having a phisical device going to waist. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — !!!!!!!! *2015-08-01, version 1.3.0* BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN 2015!!! I used to play with these all the time growing up! I googled them and came across this app! I'm so happy I found it haha hopefully there's future updates with more songs! ## Frequently asked questions about Electron ECHO mini piano ### What is Electron ECHO mini piano?
