ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D Magic Cube Solver holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Magic Cube Solver has 834 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SPEEDSOLVE 123's written reviews are positive against 55% of 3D Magic Cube Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
