## What is Last Layer Classic?

You've mastered the first half of the F2L Fridrich Method, now master the rest!
Learn the  2Look last layer  & Full 1 look last layer patterns! 
Easily solve that Last Layer of your SpeedCube!

Features include:
• FlashCard trainer with customizable pattern sets and timer
• Test your knowledge and practice the moves you know
• Full OLL and PLL patterns
• 2 Look OLL and PLL moves
• Favorite the patterns your are currently learning.
• Randomly generated 25 move scramble
• Save and Share your solve times
• Native iPad support
• CloudKit support. Favorites and Flashcard settings will sync between devices
• Dynamic Type enabled across the app. Cells will now auto resize based on font size

Amazing tool to learn the 2Look OLL and PLL moves of the Fridrich method, using the tried and true flashcard method.

The CFOP (Cross - F2L - OLL - PLL) system, sometimes known as the Fridrich Method, 
 is one of the most commonly used methods in speedsolving a 3x3x3 speedcube. 

This method works on a layer-by-layer system, first solving a cross on the bottom, 
continuing to solve the first two layers (F2L), orienting the last layer (OLL),  and finally permuting the last layer (PLL).  

Breaking up the OLL and PLL stages into 2 steps (2Look) simplifies it even more.

## Key features

- 2-Look OLL and PLL patterns
- Full OLL and PLL patterns
- Flashcard trainer
- Customizable pattern sets
- Timer and scramble generator
- Save and share solve times
- Cloud sync

### 3/5 — Last Layer

*2020-06-15*

It is very helpful, has easy to remember, but they aren’t the fastest. You should make an update on a lot of different algs that are a lot faster.

### 4/5 — Great App but need some improvements

*2019-06-08*

I’ve been using the app and I love it! 
I’ve learned so much!!

A few suggestions I think would be some great enhancements. 
Please add the Favorites tabs into the flash cards under Setting -> Card Set Options
This would be great for practicing only chosen patterns rather than the whole list.

Also, have a way to re-order favorites as they are not group like the OLL and PLL does when added to the list. 

Another is to freeze OLL PLL FAV tab 
Having to scroll all the way up to the top when switching tab is a bit cumbersome. 

Add visual notation for beginners.

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2019-02-07, version 3.0.0*

The 2 look PLL miss the 3 corner counter -clockwise. Would be great to be able to write our own algorithm and to switch more easily between OLL and PLL. 
I really like the flash card.

### 2/5 — Wrong Anti-Sune

*2017-07-12*

Sorry to leave a negative review, but the support site is not available else I would've left a ticket there.

Please note that the Anti-Sune algorithm is backwards.  Performing it as written in the app will NOT yield a solved OLL.  The correct Anti-Sune is R U2 R' U' R U' R' 

Using the Anti-Sune was my first encounter with the app, which sort of left a bad taste in my mouth if I can't trust that the algs are correct.  I'm new to cubing so this error caused a good deal of confusion for me.  So far, most others seem to be correctly listed.

Please correct this if possible.  I'd be happy to update the review upon correction as this is otherwise just the app I was desiring!

### 5/5 — Beautiful App.

*2017-03-01*

Well done, you wrote a very sleek app, I must say that I'm really impressed by how everything was put together. 

Are you able to add a brief section describing the conventions associated with your notations (so we know, for example, the orientation of the x, y, and z slices)?

Again, wonderful job with this niche app. :)

### 3/5 — Almost there.

*2016-07-18*

The app is missing many pll cases. They exist in the flash cards which are random. Which means you have to flip through random flash cards to find the pll you are looking for.

### 3/5 — Good references.. could be improved

*2016-07-07, version 2.5*

Easy to navigate what would be good is a tab that allows for fast access from oll to pll menu that way we don't have to drag all the way up just to change tab menu. Another good thing is implement cube notations that be great

### 4/5 — Great reference

*2015-07-22*

This app has been huge for my learning of the more complex and less-intuitive algorithms of CFOP. The reason I have decided to not give 5 stars however is the lack of animations or even a notation sheet. This app serves its use but doesn't excel. 

The only thing separating this app from others like Badmephisto is its clean, updated interface. Not much more, I'm afraid. 

Add animations or at least a notation sheet and 5 stars for sure. Other recommendations would be perhaps a list of favorites, that way if we only need to finish learning a couple we do not get lost trying to find them.

P.S. A way to change the default notations would also be a neat feature, for as we all know there are multiple algorithms that serve the same purpose. Some are hard but fast, some are easy but slow; a way to cycle through or perhaps manually edit the notations would be very helpful.

### 3/5 — Decent app

*2015-03-04, version 2.1*

App is pretty good as it has a nice layout. However I've come across one of the PLL and it is incorrect. I have learned several other PLL from this app but R(a) in particular does not work.

### 4/5 — There's an error

*2015-03-01*

there's an error in the image for cycling 3 corners counter clockwise. the reference image should be rotated counterclockwise.

## Frequently asked questions about Last Layer Classic

### What is Last Layer Classic?

Last Layer Classic is an educational app designed to help speedcubers master the algorithms for solving the last layer of a 3x3x3 cube using the Fridrich method. It focuses on both 2-Look and Full 1-Look last layer patterns.

### What learning methods does Last Layer Classic use?

The app utilizes a tried-and-true flashcard method to teach and reinforce the OLL and PLL algorithms. It allows for customizable pattern sets and includes a timer to test knowledge and practice moves.

### What specific algorithms does Last Layer Classic cover?

Last Layer Classic covers both 2-Look OLL and PLL moves, as well as Full OLL and PLL patterns. This comprehensive approach aids in mastering the final stages of the CFOP (Fridrich) method.

### Can I track my progress with Last Layer Classic?

Yes, the app allows you to save and share your solve times, providing a way to monitor your improvement. You can also favorite patterns you are currently learning.
