Read full descriptionHide full description
Solve My Cube is a local solver for physical 3x3 and 2x2 cubes. Scan the faces with the camera, import photos, or enter stickers manually, then review the detected colors before solving. The app validates the cube state before generating a solution. 3x3 validation includes color counts, centers, pieces, orientation, and parity; 2x2 uses corner-state checks. Solutions run locally on device and are shown as standard move notation with step-by-step playback. Designed for a stuck cube, not speed training: local processing, no ads, no subscription, and clear purchase options after three free successful solves. Features: - 3x3 and 2x2 support. - Guided camera scan with manual review before solving. - Photo import and manual full-entry fallback. - Physical cube-state validation before a solve is generated. - Local 3x3 and 2x2 solvers with standard move notation. - Step-by-step solution playback. - Three free successful solves, then solve-pack credits or Lifetime Unlimited.
