Solve your Rubik's cube in a few taps, 100% offline, then learn to solve it yourself. The solver runs right on your phone. No internet, no waiting for a server: scan the cube on a plane, on the subway or anywhere without signal and get the moves in seconds. For big cubes there is also the Pro solver: it asks our online solver too, tuned for 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6, and keeps whichever solution is shorter. SOLVER • Fully offline: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6 are all solved on your phone • A 3x3 is solved in about 20 moves, as short as our online solver or shorter • Pro solver for 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6: offline and online together, the shorter solution wins (a 5x5 drops from about 100 moves to about 80) • Scan each face with your camera, or paint the colors by hand • Every move is shown on a 3D cube with arrows, one move at a time • Play it at your own speed, or step back when you get lost LEARN • Beginner method in 7 steps: no notation or long algorithms needed • CFOP method: cross, F2L, OLL and PLL • Guides for the 2x2, 4x4, 5x5 and bigger cubes • Finger tricks shown by 3D hands, finger by finger • Cube notation made simple: read moves like R U R' • Pictures you can try in 3D in every lesson PRACTICE • Virtual cube from 2x2 up to 20x20 • A coach that shows your next move, by the beginner method or CFOP • Timer for your real cube, with scrambles, best time and averages of 5 and 12 • 214 patterns to make, from the Superflip to the Checkerboard, 3x3 up to 7x7 • Theme editor to give your cube your own colors In 18 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian, Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rubix Cube Solver and Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rubix Cube Solver and Guide has 699 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of MagicPL>Magic Cube Play+Learn's written reviews are positive against 71% of Rubix Cube Solver and Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MagicPL>Magic Cube Play+Learn ships an update every 5 days, Rubix Cube Solver and Guide every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
