### 1/5 — App sucks

*2026-02-03, version 1.06.00*

Every time I try to play this game won’t work. It is so bad if you want to solve a Rubiks cube don’t get this app

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-01-21, version 1.06.00*

You should not get this app. The scanning is very difficult and it takes a lot of time. Not to mention there are 3 stages and the 3rd stage cost $0.99 I recommend Cube Solver where you just place your pattern on your cube and it will show you a step by step fast guide that’s money free. It also teaches you how to solve most different rubix cubes and show you patterns on your cube to!

### 1/5 — What the hell bro

*2026-01-03, version 1.06.00*

This is absolute trash, Wym go to a brighter area Im under the sun trying to do this stupid cube and I wasted some of my valuable life on this scam. I wish I couldn’t even give u a star

### 1/5 — WHY PAY

*2025-12-10, version 1.06.00*

I have to pay and I’m just 8

My mom doesn’t like to pay for apps except for food and her work

### 1/5 — Nie polecam

*2025-08-17, version 1.06.00*

Za pełne ułożenie kostki trzeba zapłacić 5 zł. Pomimo tego, jak zainstalowałem te aplikację to wszystkie moje inne gry i aplikację zamieniły swoją nazwę na chińską

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2025-07-21, version 1.06.00*

Don’t listen to people who give 1stars for paying 1 dollar because they are lying they also hate because slow and inaccurate but I reject that but you can get a cube for 100 dollars like pinchouliu deserves money 1 buck is cheap

### 1/5 — Download A solver instead

*2025-06-26, version 1.06.00*

It got the colors wrong like 300 times and when it did 

work it asked for money I spent all my money on the cube not solving it A solver gives u 3 free solves then just delete it and get it back and boom free

### 1/5 — Nasty developer. Deserves 0 stars overall

*2025-03-04, version 1.05.00*

I dont know why i have this app still. The scanner is alright but the fact you have to pay 4$ or something stupid like that (Aussie dollars mind you) is ridiculous and the reason why i wrote this is how terrible the tracking is i often have to rescan it .this deserves 0 stars and a rude finger for having to pay to solve it

### 1/5 — It doesn’t give proper solution for top layer

*2024-12-05, version 1.05.00*

I know how to solve it I just wanted to check which is faster human  or  robot

### 5/5 — Only 0.99 dollars just to continue.

*2024-11-16, version 1.05.00*

Why does everyone give this 1 star review?
