Kubo solves standard cubes from 2x2 to 7x7 and Pyraminx, and keeps seven twisty puzzles in one workbench. SCAN STANDARD CUBES Point your camera at each face and Kubo detects the sticker colors on device. Review every captured face and fix a color instantly before solving. No camera available? Enter the colors manually with guided face-by-face input. SOLVE IN 3D, STEP BY STEP Kubo calculates a solution for supported standard cubes and plays every turn on a responsive 3D model. Play, pause, move forward or backward one step, seek through the sequence, and adjust playback speed. Standard notation stays visible so you always know the next move.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kubo at none against Magic Cube Puzzle's shown. Kubo also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). Magic Cube Puzzle's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
