Blind Cube
Read full descriptionHide full description
Blind Cube is designed from the ground up to support blind individuals on their journey with the Rubik’s Cube. Most cubing software relies on visual cues, making the experience inaccessible for those using screen readers. Blind Cube changes this by implementing full VoiceOver support and providing clear, instructions for every action. The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and includes the following functionality: • Custom Cube Definitions: Tailor the app to your specific equipment. You can register your physical Rubik’s Cube by defining the unique textures found on each center face. Once configured, the app uses your personalized "tactile map" for all scrambling and solving functions. • Cube Scrambler: Select your cube and generate a new scramble. You can receive step-by-step instructions to reach the intended state and verify the cube's orientation after each move. You can also use the most recent scramble to initiate a solve. • Cube Solver: Select your cube, input the texture for each block on every face, and tap "Solve." The app provides detailed instructions on how to solve the cube, allowing you to track the cube's state at every step. • Cube Timer: A built-in basic timer to help you track your solving speed and maintain a history of your recent performances. Additional Capabilities: • Flexible Instructions: View scramble and solve directions via plain text instructions or standard Cube Notation. • Data Sharing: Easily copy scramble instructions, generated solutions, or your current cube state to your clipboard.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Headline Decoder at Free against Blind Cube's $2.99. Headline Decoder also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Blind Cube's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
