What's New in CubeLens
1.2
September 14, 2026
The Beginner course is now free. Your first three guided solves teach the classic layer-by-layer method, narrated one move at a time, and you finish able to solve the cube yourself. The one-time unlock now covers Quick solve, the computer's answer in around 21 moves, plus the CFOP method speedcubers use. It also lifts the three-solve limit on Beginner. Also in this update: • If you would rather just have the cube solved, the first Beginner solve offers you that choice once, and never asks again. • Clearer wording across the scanning and solving screens.
