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.

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 3D Magic Cube Solver at 4.4 against Rubik's Cube Tutor's 2.8. 3D Magic Cube Solver also leads on ratings volume (816 vs 5). Rubik's Cube Tutor's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D Magic Cube Solver holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Magic Cube Solver has 816 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of 3D Magic Cube Solver's written reviews are positive against 80% of Rubik's Cube Tutor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

3D Magic Cube Solver ships an update fortnightly, Rubik's Cube Tutor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
