### 5/5 — Really good app

*2026-06-04, version 4.4.1*

I can’t believe this is free it is way easier to manage than cs timer, and I love how it gives an average of a certain amount of solves. In less that an hour I went from averaging 13+ on 2x2 to sub-10. The only thing wrong about it is I doesn’t have notation for cubes like the skewb, pyraminx, and other cubes like that. But I love the alg of the day, it’s actually really good. 


P.S, I think for beginners you should show that white is on top and green is in front for scrambles.

### 5/5 — The best alg trainer on the App Store, but not perfect

*2026-06-02, version 4.4.1*

There are plenty of great alg trainers on the web browser, but not on iOS. This is the best option I’ve found so far

If you use a different alg than recommended for a particular set, you can update it to your preference, and rotate the example image if you start with a different orientation. The app is smart enough to use the updated alg in is trainer, so the provided training scrambles are correct. This is awesome, it’s just as powerful as GAN’s trainer, way less janky, and it provides scrambles for you. 

There are some improvements I’d love to see:
- Allow users to add multiple algs per case, so we can train different AUFs or different orientations
- Allow users to add their own cases full-stop. These wouldn’t have images, but it would still be better than nothing
- Add edge stickers to the PLL example images, to make recognition easier (bars vs headlights)
- More training options, like tracking times and solves. So users can be presented with their worst cases more often 
- allow users to create training sets. So I can pick 10 algs to focus on for the day. Let users pick from any of the provided algs, not just one set at a time
- way harder, but smart cube integration would be great

### 4/5 — Good but……

*2026-04-03, version 4.4.1*

It was an AMAZING app then they ruined it a wile ago one major this is they made it lock horizontally (Among others but this is my main pet-peev) for example when Im chilling on the couch I can’t get my phone to stay that way on my lap without sliding off, which takes away all the convince of a mobile app. I’d rather use my laptop and bring a big ahh charger.

### 1/5 — absolutely horrible app

*2026-02-24, version 4.4.1*

this app doesn’t stop the timer after tapping the screen and i’ve gotten zero good scrambles from it. i get a bad one every now and then but it’s every single scramble

### 5/5 — The best app for speedcubers

*2026-02-07, version 4.4.1*

I have tried each and every app on Rubik’s cubes, and this is by far the best one. The timer is awesome and tailored for Speedcubing, but my favorite part is the algorithm sets in this app. I appreciate how easy it is to find what you are looking for, and that the sequences are trustworthy. Additionally, having control of customizing sequences, adding notes, and many settings, adds a fine touch to this app. I’d like to thank the developer for including the free version of this app, and allowing it to be very similar to premium. I have only one suggestion: Keep adding more ideas for solving Rubik’s cubes! I’m looking forward to all of the future updates, bug fixes or otherwise!

### 4/5 — App

*2026-01-23, version 4.4.1*

Hey great app but would be cool if i could have it horizontal too so i can keep it on my iPad stand, thank You.

### 5/5 — Great overall, but needs some things

*2026-01-18, version 4.4.1*

The app is one of the best alg and timing apps. However, the graph gets hard to see after you do solves. I think that adding Ao5 and Ao12 and/or a zoom feature would make it 5 stars and maybe the best cube timing apps out there.

### 5/5 — My rating (2)

*2025-12-02, version 4.4.1*

Hi, when adding a solve manually, there’s no option to view or enter the scramble. The app shows a scramble only when using the built-in timer, but not when manually adding a time. I use a physical timer, so I need to see the scramble on the screen and then enter my result afterward. 
Could you please add a feature that lets users manually input times directly at the scramble screen? 

This would make it easier for users who solve with an external timer.
Thank you!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!!

*2025-11-18, version 4.4.1*

This app is incredible! I bought the pro upgrade for this app, and it is 100% worth the price. Amazing product. I needed an app that would help with the F2L method. This is a number 1 tool for it. I am speechless for how amazing this app is. Amazing job creator!

### 5/5 — Espectacular

*2025-11-14, version 4.4.1*

Todos los cuberos la necesitan, no se porque no tiene apoyo y el creador un genio, si quieres mejor as en la app le escribes y lo añade

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.4.1 — 2025-09-19

Fixed two bugs regarding creating and editing sessions:
- On smaller devices some UI elements didn't fit on screen.
- Resizing the screen while scrolling through icons or colors would cause a crash.

### 4.4 — 2025-09-01

New features:
- Added support for custom color schemes and cube orientations. Select from presets or design your own color scheme.
- Added support for clock scrambles (+visualization).
- You can now add notes to an algorithm.
- Too easy 2x2 scrambles are prevented.
- Previously, a completed algorithm in the learn tab would be marked as learnt. This has been turned into a setting for better control.
- Added option to sort the time list by different metrics.
- Added option to hide the algorithm set explanations.
- The time list now comes before the statistics page in the timer tab.
- Unlocked the 4LLL algorithm set to all users.
- More statistics shown (average of 50, 100, 200, etc...).
- 3x3 blindfolded scramble visualizations are now displayed.

UI improvements:
- Cleaned up the settings page.
- Smoother timer animations

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug where some images didn't display (in algorithms and learn tabs)
- Fixed a bug where importing times would add data twice if the time list was empty.

### 4.3.4 — 2024-07-06

Scramble visualizations for pyraminx, skewb and megaminx added!

### 4.3.3 — 2024-07-03

-Square-1 scrambles have been added.
-OLL algorithm illustrations are now displayed from a top-down perspective, which shows all sides of the top layer instead of just two. This makes it easier to recognize cases, as well as to know how to hold the cube.
-Fixed a bug where the scramble illustration in the timer could be enlarged while invisible.

### 4.3.2 — 2024-07-02

All 472 ZBLL algorithms are now correct and have been verified
