Solve your Rubik's cube in a few taps, 100% offline, then learn to solve it yourself. The solver runs right on your phone. 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.
