Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 3D Magic Cube Solver at 4.4 against Rubik's Cube Tutor's 2.1. 3D Magic Cube Solver also leads on ratings volume (828 vs 8) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Rubik's Cube Tutor's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D Magic Cube Solver holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Magic Cube Solver has 828 ratings behind it against 8, 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 every 10 days, Rubik's Cube Tutor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
