COMPATIBLE DEVICES For additional Android compatibility troubleshooting, see Wildlife Acoustics NOTES: If a device is not listed, that means that we do not yet have enough information to know if it works correctly with the Echo Meter Touch 2. It could very well work or not, we just don’t know at this time. We do update the list as we get new info. The compatibility list is subject to change. As devices become older, they may have increased difficulty running Echo Meter Touch with newer versions of OS. We do not guarantee compatibility with the list below, but we do offer a thirty day money back guarantee.

If you have a phone or tablet with a USB-C connector, you need an adapter stub to work with the micro-USB on the Echo Meter Touch. At this time, we have found only two female micro-USB to male USB-C adapters that work well. They are available at “Arktek” and “Tronsmart" and are available at Amazon in the USA and UK. Make sure that it is USB Type C (male) to Micro USB (female). We will continue to test new adapter stubs and add to this list if we find more compatible adapters.

If you have phone or tablet with a micro-USB connector but have a case that interferes with the Echo Meter Touch, then you need a micro-USB extension stub. Most brands will work, though we have had occasional reports of ones that don't so you will have to test after purchase.

EXTENSION CABLES

An extension cable can be used to mount the Echo Meter Touch module away from your mobile device. If your device has a micro-USB connector, then you need a micro-USB extension cable (female micro-USB to male micro-USB). Different brands are hit or miss and they change regularly so you will need to purchase and test to find one that works. One brand that definitely does not work is YCS Basics. We have had good luck with the TUSITA brand
