Solve 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 Magic Cubes with the camera on your iPhone or iPad, then follow the solution in 3D. SCAN A REAL CUBE Follow the prompts to scan all six faces of your cube. See checking progress as each face is confirmed, with animated feedback while the app analyzes the cube and searches for a solution. If the scanned colours cannot be solved, scan again or correct the colours manually. You can also enter a cube's colours without using the camera. For best results, keep the full face visible in good lighting and avoid glare. Recognition depends on the cube's appearance and the scanning conditions. PLAY A VIRTUAL CUBE Explore virtual cubes from 2×2 to 7×7. Swipe to turn layers or rotate the whole cube, and pinch to zoom. Use the 2D view, undo moves, or mark faces to follow their movement with guide lines. Larger cubes support wide moves. AI hints are available for supported cube sizes.
