### 1/5 — Cant summit

*2025-07-06, version 3.20*

Every time i finally fonish my mirror cube there is no way for it to give me ways to slove it pls explain

### 5/5 — Gets the job done

*2025-03-02, version 3.20*

It works great!

### 1/5 — It would not work for mirror cube

*2024-05-22, version 3.20*

Well it would not work for mirror cube and I was mad so make mirror cube more simple

### 1/5 — Does not have a solution for the mirror cube

*2024-04-04, version 3.20*

It does not have a solution for the mirror cube it just has patterns you can make I went through the instructions, looked it over, closed it out. Reopened it , sent an email to the developer. The graphic clearly shows that it solves the mirror cube, yet there is no solve for it.

 I’m requesting a refund . This is false advertising.

### 1/5 — Scam don’t buy it won’t help you solve a mirror cube

*2023-08-26, version 3.20*

DO NOT BUYYYYYYY

### 2/5 — Needs a bug fix

*2023-08-18, version 3.20*

Every time I want to solve my mirror cube it goes to 3x3x3 and I don’t like it

### 2/5 — Hard

*2023-01-06, version 3.20*

Do not download this app. It is way too hard to solve a cube.

### 4/5 — Good but

*2022-12-29, version 3.20*

Don’t reason I’m giving you the full and not the five star rating is because the instructions are a little bit hard

### 4/5 — Struggling with the app

*2022-12-24, version 3.20*

Probably a good app, I can’t figure out how to correctly enter my mirror cube so I’ll be deleting the app.
Thank you anyways.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2022-11-20*

My 8 year old son just got into Rubik’s cubes and has been trying to solve them. He has over 12 different ones and has tried different tutorials to help. This one is great. Was easy for him to input the sides and shows him a step by step to solve. He’s getting really close to solving on his own now!
