Chipolo ONE

No, it is not. All Chipolo finders are Bluetooth trackers that use your phone’s Bluetooth signal to connect to the Chipolo app. When this connection is lost (the max range of the Chipolo is 200 feet / 60 meters), the last known location of your missing toy will show on a map in the Chipolo app, until they reconnect.

GPS trackers use external third-party systems to stay connected and can show the real-time location of the tracking tag at any distance.

They also differ in their battery life; Bluetooth trackers have longer battery life since they use less technology and power to stay connected. The battery life of a good Bluetooth finder will last at least over a year. The battery on a GPS tracker will usually last between 1 week and 1 month.

Chipolo Bluetooth locators connect to the Chipolo app that works both with Android and iOS devices. Your phone must have the operating system of Android 9 or later or iOS 14 or later and must support Bluetooth 4. The list of supported devices is available on https://chipolo.net/devices

The battery on the Chipolo ONE toy finder will last up to 2 years and when it runs out, you can replace it yourself with a new one. The Toy tracker uses a standard coin battery (type CR2032) that can be found in most shops.

No, the Chipolo is not waterproof, but it is IPX5 water-resistant. It can endure some moisture and a light rainy day, so it will be durable enough to keep an eye on your child’s toy as well. But keep in mind that if you sew it into the toy, it will probably not survive a tumble in the washing machine.

You can use the hole in the Chipolo ONE toy finder to tie the toy finder to your child’s plushie or you can sew the finder inside the toy itself. The lost toy tracker has a loud ring you will still be able to hear around the house.

The outer shell of the toy finder is made of plastic, so you can also stick it to the other toys, like race cars, plastic and wooden toys.

The remote finder connects directly to the Bluetooth signal on your phone and can stay connected for up to 200ft / 60 meters outside, where there are no obstacles like walls. Indoors, the range is slightly decreased but will remain stable for up to 150 feet / 45 meters.

The Chipolo ONE is a small colorful token-shaped Bluetooth tracker that connects to the free Chipolo app on your iPhone or Android phone. You can ring the Chipolo ONE toy finder from your phone and you can also use the Bluetooth finder to ring your misplaced phone. The lost toy tracker also offers additional features such as Out of Range Alerts and a user-sharing function, all without any additional fees or monthly subscriptions.

You can also see the last known location of the missing toy on a map in the Chipolo app.
