ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rubix Cube Solver and Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rubix Cube Solver and Guide has 702 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Rubix Cube Solver and Guide's written reviews are positive against 75% of Quantum Cube Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rubix Cube Solver and Guide ships an update every 3 weeks, Quantum Cube Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
