This app is for anyone who wants to solve the 2X2 pocket cube. Just enter in what your cube looks like and the app will solve it. The graphics and the app are simple; all you have to do is follow the instructions. There’s also helpful videos you can watch if you don’t quite understand how to use the app. Matt and Morgan (my kids who are 11 and 9) can show you exactly what to do from start to finish!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Solviks at 4.7 against Pocket Cube Solver's 2.7. Solviks also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 46%) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 555). Pocket Cube Solver's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Cube Solver sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Solviks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Solviks holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solviks has 6.2K ratings behind it against 555, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Pocket Cube Solver's written reviews are positive against 82% of Solviks's.
Pocket Cube Solver ships an update fortnightly, Solviks every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 12, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
