Includes: F2L, OLL, PLL, COLL, ZBLL aglorithm sets. Last-layer recognition trainer with spaced repetition system and quiz functionality. Flash cards to train algorithm recall. Cross and xcross solutions within your selected number of moves with hints for pair and first-move. Simulate competition with inspection mode that announces at 12 and 8 seconds.

Bluetooth Support: Supports Particula GoCube Edge bluetooth cubes. Keeps track of all OLL/ZBLL/PLL cases with recognition and execution time, so you can track which need most improvement.

### 1/5 — OLL trainer doesn’t include scrambles

*2026-07-21*

The only reason I wanted this was to drill OLL, which this says it can do, but can’t. It’s just flashcards. Don’t waste your money.
