ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D Magic Cube Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Magic Cube Puzzle has 181 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of 3D Magic Cube Puzzle'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

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
