Cube Solver Pro turns any scrambled 3D Cube into a step-by-step solution — paint it in or scan it with the camera — and then teaches you to solve it on your own. SOLVE ANY CUBE Paint your cube exactly as it looks, on a flat layout or a fully rotatable 3D cube — or let the camera read it for you (Pro). Tap Solve and follow a clear move-by-move solution at your own pace. Adjustable playback speed lets you slow down and follow along, one turn at a time. LEARN TO SOLVE IT YOURSELF A structured beginner course takes you from zero to a full solve: • Notation — the alphabet of the cube • White cross and white corners • Middle layer • Yellow cross, yellow face and yellow corners Each lesson builds on the last, and your progress is tracked as you go.
