Great Game!

I really enjoy playing this game. I had over 1000 solves in under a minute on the 3x3 cube. I’ve had it for 5 months and then it locked me out telling me that it requires an update to continue usage, however there is no update available. So now I am unable to use it. I really hope they fix this because I would like to be able to play again. I own a few physical cubes, too, but like the convenience of the app.

Works

Honestly I’ve only been looking for the algorithm and not the scanner. Rubik’s cube original website was shut down for whatever I know why, been searching countless websites for a algorithm like this that actually shows me the possible spots my 2x2 would end up in when I solve the white side and yellow side. Now I know where the algorithm sheets have been and am glad they still exist, the algorithm is the best tool to help you solve your Rubik’s cube as it well show you what positions your cube would end up in and how to move it without only seeing R or F. It will actually show you what direction to move your cube. If you don’t think these PDF’s/algorithms sheets help you then I don’t know what to tell you but they work. Thank you Rubik’s cube for still having them alive.

Awesome

It made me solve my Rubik’s cube for the first 5 times in approximately 20 moves 1 million stars the scanning is the easiest from any other app I’ve tried but one thing when you move wrong it just puts sad faces should show you how to correct

Liked

I have the best experience solving the cube! I spend to much time solving learning and practicing! Is a good app for pros and the amateur. Color crispy sharp moves its a really good app! Liked so far!!!!
I buy a rubiks for learn when i don’t use the app. Also buy a mini to, but its to tiny.. i am going to buy the keychain that has no stickers but it’s not available for now…

The app crashes now and then i want to be able to use pleeease😬!!

Great App!

I use this mostly for timing right now, but have played around with other features as well. What I’d like to see is a timer for random scrambles. I much prefer to just scramble it on my own and when I have tried to follow the suggested scrambles, they never turn out right anyway. So I just use the timer and ignore scramble patterns, but it would be nice to have an official way to do that.

Looking for the step-by-step

Just downloaded your app today. It didn’t really have what I was looking for. What I wanted, was the step-by-step instructions and an easy to find place. The augmented reality, solver and virtual cube are fun, but not what I was looking for if you included the step-by-step directions, that would be really helpful. (Unless it was on there somewhere, and I just couldn’t find it…?)

Good enough

It takes some getting used to, but it’s probably the best they could come up with for a 3d cube on a 2d screen. I taught myself how to solve it consistently, using a tangible cube, a couple months ago. I only use about eleven simple algorithms that I figured out over a couple hundred hours, off and on over the years (my first solve took me somewhere in the neighborhood of seventy hours about ten years ago). With this app, it takes me a little less than ten minutes. With a tangible cube, I average about three. So don’t be discouraged if it takes you a while. My first timed attempt on this app took me over an hour when a tangible cube was taking me an average of eighteen minutes. So whatever you average with the toy, you’ll probably be multiplying that by three or four to solve with this. So why do I use it? I can keep the sound off, and avoid annoying anyone around me.

Good but few suggestions

Okay this is a very cool app I use it to help me solve my Rubik’s cube but there is a few things. First I think you should add a 2x2 AR guide and other different levels of it. Second make the scan the cube easier it was really hard to scan it Third fix the stop watch it’s to complicated. I know this sounds like a lot but it will make the app easier. This is very fun app to use for your Rubik’s cube thank you for reading .

AR solver is really bad

The only good thing about this app is that the graphics for the Rubik’s cube is superb and it’s convenient for when you don’t have a cube, but I have been trying to use the AR solver and It’s so hard to get it to focus, even if the cube aligns perfectly with the outline. It’s really frustrating specially for a beginner like me that doesn’t know how to solve it and the algorithms/diagrams online for solving it are confusing to read.

Great for practice, could use more features

I just use the app for scrambles and tracking my times. I love that times are logged and stored indefinitely.

I would love if notes could be attached to past solve times/scrambles. Also, I’d love to be able to export the full list of my time data into any format for analysis.

Overall a great app.

Official Rubik’s cube app is cool!

Official Rubik’s cube app is cool! It’s like having multiple cubes with you whenever you want but only one at a time. I especially like the augmented reality part of the app and how good it is at solving all the different variety of tangible 3x3 cubes I’ve shown it so far. Hats off to the programming team that put this together! Great job guys!

Good App, Few Problems

Ok I would give this a 4.5 if they let me but this thing is really good but small details make it a bit worse but not that bad. So I’m going to list them
1. Speed Solve Inspection
No your not gonna get a world record of 2 seconds, this thing was not great and I tried to make my cube still for the thing to inspect but it “wasn’t registered right” or it needed to be frame perfect
2. Middle Layers
Yea pretty obvious but on 4x4 and 5x5 you can’t turn the slices frequently
3. Easy Scrambles
Sometimes it gives you easy scrambles after doing a lot of moves
That’s it at the time I’m making this I have to leave so 2 and 3 are short ok bye

Bad info

So the idea of the app is cool and I am excited to use it. However, the camera on the AI teacher mode defaults to the front and not self facing camera. This means I’d have to lean my phone up against something see-through, then put my hands with the cube in front of the phone to see what is being shown on the screen. Seems like adding a camera flip button or something in the settings that would change this would be an easy fix. If there is a way to change it, that would be great but I couldn’t find anything in the info section that tells how to do it. It would be nice if there was an FAQ section or something.

Great app!

Legendary! I love this app no lie! Only 1 problem though. AR scanner that is expert ++ to even do! I did it on my knee and just the SLIGHTEST movement you have to restart 😠😠😠😠😠and also there should be a update where you can change the Rubix cubes like there’s a panda,a Rubix,Rubix speed cube also than that it rocks!

Fix the camera

Ok so basically the games cool and stuff but there’s one huge problem The camera So basically when I use the camera to solve my cube (it’s a 3x3) the camera just fails and says that it was on glares or I was not following the arrows but can you just change or just improve the camera system that would be very helpful

(Side note)
This is a problem with AR

Scanning is trash

When I try scanning the thing for ar it scans like 2 sides and then when I try to scan the other side after the second, it just restarts the whole thing then I have to rescan and rescan and rescan and rescan it is very annoying. My arms are tired of so much turning and holding the cube for like 30 minutes straight trying to get this thing to scan it. Nah it just restarts it. I don’t know if it is my lighting but it is hard for me to scan it either when I am trying the teacher thingy or trying the solve thing.

Very good but with flaws

Don’t get me wrong I love it, but the could add more types of virtual cubes (although these are not cubes) like megamix or pyramix but at least they have 3x3 2x2 and 4x4 my favorite cubes. Also I am someone who can solve a cube but when I tried the AR teacher for my family it would scan 2 sides then when I rotate the cube it restarts with that new side as the side to start scanning.

Progress save?

A progress save would be nice. I was halfway through a 4x4 cube and received a phone call. I had to exit the app to search for something while on the call. After the call ended and I opened the app, all my progress was lost.

Another time I was almost done with a 4x4, a friend wanted to see me finish a 3x3. I leave the 4x4, open 3x3, complete it, go back to 4x4 and progress was lost again. Just frustrating to constantly start over.

Maybe ask to resume last round/cube?

Best Cubing App

This is by far the best cubing app and it’s completely free. I’ve bought a few cubing apps but they fall short of this app. Glad I found it anyway. Gives you all your averages and PBs. Inspections are easy and has a cube for reference. Overall, very nice. Highly recommend.

Currently unusable

I’m sure this was a great app once, but unfortunately that is no longer the case. I downloaded this app today (4/7/22) and when I went to use it I was met with an error screen. “This app requires an update to continue usage. Contact Rubik’s Brand Limited for help.”

I had downloaded the app not five minutes ago, but I double checked to make sure I wasn’t somehow missing an update for it. I even double checked my phone to make sure it was up to date. Nothing had an update waiting, but the app still tells me it requires an update.
