### 5/5 — 很好用

*2025-08-04, version 1.6.1*

苹果手机我就找到这一款软件可以计时魔方

### 5/5 — Love

*2023-12-13*

This app is great for everyone who cubes. I think it’s worth getting

### 1/5 — .

*2023-06-14*

The app is terrible, it works every time. I do not advise anyone

### 4/5 — Love it but there’s a bug

*2023-04-18*

Love this app—the ability to change cube colors for the scramble means that I can make the scramble match the colors on my cube. The customizability of the timer is also unparalleled on iOS. However, there seems to be a bug with the “best of” stats not updating after a session reaches a certain number of solves. Mine seem to be stuck with last week’s best and are no longer updating for my current session. App would be perfect if this bug was fixed.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-02-26*

Pretty good app. Like someone else said it is a good replacement for chao timer. Don’t even know how I found this app though, it doesn’t come up when I search “rubiks cube timer” in the App Store, but it looks like a superior app to the alternatives. 

The only things I would change is if you could see the dates and times of your solves under the “best” section of your solves. So you could see when you set your best records. 

Also maybe if the bar graph could have an option to see a bar for individual number instead of one bar for two numbers.

### 1/5 — Session Reset

*2022-09-02*

Why would you add the feature of resetting the whole session with a swipe of a finger??? Most people swiping will want to add “plus 2+, DNF, Etc….” 

These are easily confused thus leading to resetting your whole session and progress and PBS you’ve made along the way

### 4/5 — Glad it’s back

*2022-06-16*

I wrote a review previously, but I don’t think it was posted.
Anyways, I used to use DCTimer somewhat religiously up until it was removed from the App Store.

I’m very glad that it’s back and I’m really loving the rework.

However, one major thing missing are Ao25s.
I’d highly consider replacing the Ao500 with Ao25, as it’s a way more common, and significantly more useful average than Ao500.

Other than that, I love the app, and once again, I’m very glad it’s finally back.

### 4/5 — Only app on AppStore with scramble preview.

*2022-06-09*

Byte timer on android has the scramble preview but the iOS version does not so I went looking and found this one. I really like it so far.  I like having the scramble preview so I can check 2 faces to make sure I did the scramble correctly. Only issue I can see is I can’t turn off the penalty timer pop up after completing a solve, maybe add a toggle for that?, I know I can summon that menu by setting up a swipe direction if I need it or could suggest a +time button for those who doesn’t want the swipe or automatic pop up. Otherwise it a very nice app.

### 4/5 — Underrated timer probably

*2022-04-02, version 1.6.1*

This is exactly what you would want on a typical  mobile Rubik’s cube timer, much better than the other ones I saw.

### 3/5 — I

*2022-03-19*

The app is good but there is a little problem, it doesn’t save the times that you’ve solved. I would definitely give you guys a 5 star review after you guys fix the problem.
