Cube Real Time GPS Dog & Cat Tracker

I live in a heavily wooded neighborhood that is adjacent to a major highway, so there isn’t a spot in the woods that you wouldn’t have an LTE cell signal. I bought the tracker for my cat because we were traveling for the holidays, and I didn’t want him to get lost in an area he wasn’t familiar in when I let him outside. I tested the tracker on myself before using it on him by leaving my cellphone with the app pulled up, borrowing a family members phone, then walking with the tracker down the street. I then called the family member on the borrowed phone and asked her to tell me where the app said I was — and it was accurate. Definitely works in areas like that!

Also make sure you set it to pet mode, because if it is set to vehicle mode when you are tracking an animal, it won’t work. … more

We live on 30 acres and have an Australian shepherd that likes to wander from neighbor to neighbor on occasion. We purchased this hoping that it would help us find him quicker when he wanders off. We received the Cube GPS tracker last night and I charged it overnight. This morning I followed the directions word for word and no matter what I do, it says the cube stays in one spot. I adjusted the amount of time between pings and even put it in dynamic mode and drove around for a while and it said I never moved away from my house. This product is a waste of money and I would definitely not recommend buying it.

It does what it is supposed to do and the app is pretty easy to set up. The only thing is the $198/Y or $19.95/m subscription you have to purchase to use it past the Bluetooth range. It’s one of the higher cost GPS’s with the cost of the cube itself and the subscription. There are other gps’s out there that work just as well, are smaller, and with a lower cost. You just have to purchase a $5 SIM card to replace each month. I went the other route and just use the cube for items within the Bluetooth range so it’s not a total loss.

If you have a collar with clips at either end you need to buy special clips to attach this to your collar. I may have missed it but I do not see where this is mentioned in the product description. The clips are another $24.95!!! So sadly, these two purchases are headed back to the warehouse.

I was looking into multiple tracking devices (Apple, tile, etc) and decided on the cube after doing some research. I’m so glad I got this. Works very well, has real time updates on your phone and allows you to put in a “safe space” geo Fence. You can also play a noise on the cube if trying to find your pet. Slides right onto the collar and has different size attachements. Highly recommend.

Works well, but the instruction are misleading. Said red light would blink when charging and be solid when fully charged. No red light at all, so I returned for replacement, but the next was the same. It works so it is apparently charging without red light. In photo, it's charging...no red light.

This product did not work for us at all. It just kept saying “last movement at null” it didn’t even pick up a signal. We live in a rural area and were trying to use the device for pet tracking.

I bought this for my cat who prefers to be outside. After we moved, I no longer have a sliding glass door where he can pop by to tell me he wants to come in. This meant we kept missing each other when he would try and come back home. Now I know when he's close and pop out to bring him in. It's pretty interesting to know where his favorite roaming spots are too.

I bought one for each of my two dogs that recently got loose. Just an FYI, you need the $16/month subscription for EACH "tracker," you can't just subscribe once for both. I put "tracker" in quotations because I wouldn't actually call it that myself. I set it to update once per minute and spent a good chunk of a day testing it and playing with it and then eventually giving up on it. I placed it in various parts of my yard and walked around with it in my hand and it updated the location maybe once every five to ten minutes or so and when it did it was minutes behind the current location. Then put it on my dog and let him walk around the fenced in back yard and still hardly any updates. I left it I bought one for each of my two dogs that recently got loose.

I left it on for a while while I went out to the woods without the dog and checked it a couple times. It updated maybe twice in the three hours I was out there with it showing the dog in basically the same spot (the wrong spot) both times. Then when I got back to my house it updated and somehow showed me the location I was at when I was in the woods. The next day put it in a friend's car (with their consent) and same exact thing, very sporadic and inconsistent updates. I guess this would be okay if you don't mind spending what would probably be days looking for your lost pet only to be hours behind them everywhere you go. You'd be better off putting a $5 bell on their collar. I will say though, Chewy was awesome as always and refunded me without even asking for the product back. … more

This is a good device but not perfect. The app is easy to set up and use and the Cube itself is also simple and straightforward. We had the opportunity to test this on our wayward hound on an island. We tracked him for probably three hours total. What we found was that it did occasionally stop transmitting for anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes. Eventually we'd get the signal again. So it's not like it doesn't function or breaks down, just that it has occasional gaps. It's also important to know that the device only works by also subscribing to a monthly plan andthe charges for this are exorbitant, app. $16/mo. Finally, the device cannot be easily attached to the more typical collars, i.e This is a good device but not perfect.

Finally, the device cannot be easily attached to the more typical collars, i.e. thick nylon straps with plastic or metal clips. Cube also sells adapters for $25(!) to allow you to attach it to this kind of collar. Instead, we got an old school belt-like collar (with a buckle instead of a clip/clasp) for $6 to avoid having to pay yet another exorbitant charge. … more
