CubeNook is a speedcubing app for learning, drilling and tracking CFOP algorithms. Check all 119 F2L, OLL and PLL cases in 3D, then practice on the on-screen cube or a smart cube. LEARN • All 119 cases (F2L 41, OLL 57, PLL 21) with 239 algorithms • Replay any algorithm on a 3D cube (0.5x, 1x, 2x), with mirrors that show the hidden faces • Mark each case as not started, learning or learned, and choose the algorithm you use • Today's review: practice the learning and learned cases that are due PRACTICE • Virtual cube: tap the on-screen cube to turn it. The guide shows where to tap and which move it makes • Zero-setup practice: solve Cross, F2L, OLL and PLL cases one after another without rescrambling your cube, with recognition time, execution time and move count • Solve practice: full solves from scrambles • Notation drill: turn the moves you are shown to learn notation and common triggers TRACK • Timer with 15-second inspection, +2 and DNF, sessions, best, Ao5 and Ao12 • Time with the virtual cube or a smart cube to see the time and moves of each CFOP step and replay the solve SMART CUBE • Connects directly over Bluetooth to the GAN i4 (Gen4 protocol) and detects every move ALSO • Choose how you hold the cube (top and front colors) • Light and dark appearance • 7 languages: English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French About CFOP: CFOP is the most popular speedcubing method. It has four steps: • Cross: solve the cross on the bottom • F2L (First Two Layers): finish the first two layers (41 cases) • OLL (Orientation of the Last Layer): orient the top layer (57 cases) • PLL (Permutation of the Last Layer): permute the top layer to finish (21 cases)

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 和の伝統色 at none against CubeNook's shown. 和の伝統色 also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
