No internet, no waiting for a server: scan the cube on a plane, on the subway or anywhere without signal and get the moves in seconds. For big cubes there is also the Pro solver: it asks our online solver too, tuned for 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6, and keeps whichever solution is shorter.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Rubix Cube Solver and Guide at 4.7 against Puzzle Clock's 4.1. Rubix Cube Solver and Guide also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (699 vs 21). Puzzle Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rubix Cube Solver and Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rubix Cube Solver and Guide has 699 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Puzzle Clock's written reviews are positive against 71% of Rubix Cube Solver and Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Puzzle Clock ships an update every 4 months, Rubix Cube Solver and Guide every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
