4Dice vs Cube Algorithms
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
4Dice
Explore a hypercube visualized as a 4-dimensional, 8-sided die. Interact with the die using multitouch controls to reveal its hidden faces as they come into view during rolls. Experience a unique perspective on geometric visualization.

This application exploits multitouch controls to explore a hypercube labeled as a 4-dimensional, 8-sided die. The hypercube's eight cube-shaped faces are rendered as a 4D being would see them in 4D light: thus, only one, two, three, or four cubic faces can appear at one time while the die rolls, but no more. Faces that would be invisible to a 4D gambler cannot be seen without interactively rolling the die to bring them into view.
Cube Algorithms
This app provides a comprehensive library of Rubik's Cube algorithms with visual previews. Users can track their learning progress, favorite algorithms, and organize them into custom study plans. Cloud synchronization ensures your data is accessible across all your devices.
- Algorithm library
- 2D and 3D cube previews
- Mark learned cases
- Favorite algorithms
- Custom folders
- Cloud synchronization

Cube Algorithms lets speedcubers browse and study a library of Rubik's Cube algorithms (OLL, PLL, COLL, ZBLL, etc.) with visual 2D and 3D cube previews for each case. Users can mark cases as learned, like their favorite algorithms, and organize them into custom folders to build a personalized study plan. All progress, including timer solve stats, is automatically synced to the cloud so it's accessible across devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cube Algorithms at every 2 months against 4Dice's every 18 months. 4Dice's advantage is iOS requirement (9.3 vs 16.4). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
