Stop searching for OLLs on an endless list of OLL cases. OLL finder will help you find the OLL case you need fast. With just a couple of touches on your iPhone or iPad, OLL Finder gives you a short list of all the similar OLL cases, helping you quickly find the one you need. Also, by viewing all the similar cases together it is much easier to see the differences and learn them faster. Click on an OLL case and you can watch videos and practice the finger tricks of the masters. If you are struggling with an OLL case, search for it with OLL Finder choose from a list of different algorithms you can use and learn from the best cubers.

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: OLL Finder at none against CubeNook's shown. OLL Finder also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). CubeNook's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
