ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Quick Math holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Math has 717 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Quick Math's written reviews are positive against 80% of Rubik's Cube Tutor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Quick Math ships an update every 5 weeks, Rubik's Cube Tutor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
