The most advanced speedcubing utility app ever created, all packaged within an incredibly minimal and modern interface. CubeTime is currently the only iOS app that uses the official WCA scrambler. No more illegal or invalid scrambles! This includes WCA-complient random state 4x4 scrambles and rotations for blind scrambles. Not only do we have well-refined session support, we also have different session types, suiting all your solving needs. Special sessions include multiphase – where you can time phases during solves, and comp sim – where you can simulate competitions at home. Aside from showing you basic statistics, we provide detailed (and of course - beautiful) graphs and visuals, to allow you to gain a better understanding of your solving performance. We also provide you tools, all within one app – so don't need to clutter your phone with many single-featured apps! Tools include an average calculator, a batch scramble generator and more.
