Got a cube but no idea where to start? Cubing is a 3D cube app that teaches you the 3×3 cube from scratch. No memorizing up front. You start with what pieces and layers are and how to turn the cube, one step at a time. ■ 8 chapters to your first solve Pieces and layers → controls → white cross → first layer → middle layer → last layer. Try every step on a real 3D cube, and get a hint whenever you're stuck. It doesn't just tell you what to do — it shows you why it works. ■ Master 119 algorithms F2L 41 · OLL 57 · PLL 21. Each case goes through three stages: learn → practice → time. The app spots your weakest group and suggests what to practice today. ■ Timer and rankings Single, Ao5, Ao12, Ao50 and Ao100. The timer starts automatically on your first turn. In the Daily Contest, everyone gets the same scramble — see how you stack up against cubers around the world. ■ Build your cube collection Wood, carbon, crystal, golden, frost… Collect and upgrade 27 different cubes. They don't just look different — turn speed and corner-cutting feel vary slightly. We kept the performance gap as small as possible, because skill should decide the result. ■ Made for you if · You bought a cube but still can't solve it, even with videos · You can solve it but can't get under 3 minutes · You want to start F2L but 41 cases feel overwhelming · You like a quick daily timing session — About purchases — Cube boxes (gacha) can be opened without paid currency. Use items earned from daily missions and rewarded ads, and a Legend cube is guaranteed within 100 opens (pity). Drop rates for every rarity are always available in the app. Purchases by minors can be managed with your store's Family Sharing, Ask to Buy and purchase restriction features.
