Bluetooth Tracker FAQ

Answers for Cube Bluetooth trackers, including range, ringing your Cube, finding your phone, app permissions, account transfers, battery replacement, and troubleshooting.

How Cube Bluetooth works

Bluetooth trackers are best for nearby things.

Cube Bluetooth trackers are designed for keys, bags, wallets, remotes, nearby pets, and everyday items that are usually close to your phone.

Ring nearby items

Use the app to make your Cube ring when it is within Bluetooth range.

See last known location

Use the map to see where your Cube was last connected to your phone.

Use phone permissions

Location, Bluetooth, and background access keep the core finding features working.

Finding items

Finding your Cube and phone

What are the ways I can find my Cube?
  1. Ring your Cube from the Cube Tracker app when it is within Bluetooth range.
  2. View the last known location of your Cube using the map in the app.
  3. Enable Notify Me When Found to help locate your Cube through the Cube community.
How do I find my phone with Cube?

You can use your Cube to find your phone, even if it is on silent. Make sure the Cube Tracker app is allowed to run in the background and that your phone is in range of your Cube. Quickly double press the Cube button to make your phone ring.

How do I use Cube with pets?

Cube is a good fit for nearby pet-finding situations around the home or property, like a pet hiding under furniture or nearby outside. Cube Bluetooth trackers are not GPS trackers, so they are not designed for real-time long-distance pet tracking.

Compatibility

Compatibility and range

Is this a GPS tracker?

No. Cube Bluetooth trackers use Bluetooth to connect to your mobile device. Once connected, Cube relies on your phone's location services to update last known location in the Cube Tracker app.

The Cube itself does not use GPS and cannot track moving objects in real time unless a device with location services is nearby and moving with it.

How does Cube Bluetooth tracking work?

Cube uses Bluetooth technology to help locate nearby items. Bluetooth range can reach up to 200 feet depending on the environment, but it is most effective at shorter ranges.

What devices will not work with Cube?

Devices without Bluetooth 4.0 or BLE will not work because they cannot communicate with Cube hardware or the Cube Tracker app.

Devices running beta iOS or Android operating systems may experience technical issues. The app is intended for mobile devices running full public-release versions of iOS or Android.

App setup

App permissions and accounts

Does the Cube Tracker app always need location access?

Yes. Location access allows the app to save the last known location of your Cube when it disconnects from your phone.

Does the Cube Tracker app always need to run in the background?

Yes. Background access helps you ring your phone from Cube even if the Cube Tracker app is not open.

How do I transfer a Cube to a new account?
  1. Remove the Cube from the account it is currently linked to.
  2. In the Cube Tracker app, swipe left on the Cube you want to remove and press delete.
  3. Add the Cube to the new account by tapping the plus button in the app.
Can I manage a Cube on multiple phones?

Yes. You can manage a Cube from multiple devices logged into the same account. The Cube connects to one device at a time. When one device goes out of Bluetooth range, Cube can connect to another logged-in device.

Can I use Cube with Alexa?

Yes. Add the Cube Tracker app skill to Alexa to use supported Alexa features.
