For first-timers who just want to solve all six faces, and for cubers chasing a faster time. ■ Weekly Cube One scramble per week, identical for everyone. Your solve time is recorded on the leaderboard so you can measure yourself against other players. Register a public nickname to join the leaderboard — it carries over to new devices and reinstalls via iCloud Keychain. ■ Features • Cube Scanning Read all six faces with the camera and analyze the cube state • Real Advice Analyze the cube in your hands and guide you through the next move, step by step • Virtual Cube Practice freely with a 3D cube, no physical cube needed • Challenge Time attack on the virtual cube • Shared Cube Send a cube you solved to a friend as a link and race on the same scramble • AI Battle Solve against a calm AI opponent in real time ■ Free Scanning, cube analysis, the Virtual Cube, a taste of Challenge and Advice, and the battle intro are all free. ■ Cube Pro (one-time purchase) Unlocks unlimited Challenge, step-by-step Smart Advice, and AI Battle.
