ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CubeStation NEW holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CubeStation NEW has 326 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Rubik's Cube Tutor's written reviews are positive against 28% of CubeStation NEW's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rubik's Cube Tutor ships an update every 3 weeks, CubeStation NEW every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
