### 4/5 — Important

*2026-03-15*

I really like the game and I would have given it 5 stars easy, but the past few months it’s been crashing on me in the middle of a round, all the time. It’s really annoying I thought that if I made a review you might fix it?

### 5/5 — It’s Rubik’s Race!

*2025-09-13*

Rubik’s race on iOS, and it’s free!

### 5/5 — Underrated

*2024-12-29*

Very fun and filled with features that make the game easier to play/more efficient

### 5/5 — Fun as a remember

*2024-11-27*

Some of my favorite memories are of playing this game as a kid

### 1/5 — Do not like the update

*2023-11-27*

The swiping to move piece is so much slower and it is less fun then before. You use to be able to tap so which is so much faster then swiping. Allowing players with smarter solutions to win.

### 5/5 — Fun game, just like Rubik’s Race. Simple and responsive control.

*2021-01-05*

Great game
