Cube Magic X
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn a scrambled 3x3 cube into a clear solution you can follow. Cube Magic X combines camera-guided cube scanning, 11 solving methods, and an interactive 3D move player in one focused app. Capture two views of your cube, review the detected colors, and start solving step by step. SCAN WITH CONFIDENCE • Capture two guided views of your physical 3x3 cube. • Review recognized colors before generating a solution. • Correct individual stickers manually whenever needed. • Save cube states to your on-device history and reopen them later. CHOOSE FROM 11 SOLVING METHODS Start with beginner-friendly LBL or 8533. Explore speedcubing systems including CFOP, Roux, Petrus, ZZ, CEOR, Mehta, Nautilus, and LEOR. When you want a direct, efficient route, choose the Kociemba two-phase method. FOLLOW EVERY MOVE IN INTERACTIVE 3D See the cube state change as you work through the solution. Rotate the view, move between phases, jump to a specific step, or use automatic playback to follow the algorithm at your own pace. PRACTICE WITHOUT A PHYSICAL CUBE Open the virtual 3x3 cube whenever you want to practice. Scramble it, turn individual layers, undo moves, reset the cube, and track your time and move count. CREATE CLASSIC CUBE PATTERNS Build Checkerboard, Six Spots, Cube in a Cube, and Superflip with guided 3D moves. You can also enter your own cube algorithm and preview it step by step. MADE FOR EVERY STAGE • Beginners learning their first complete solve • Experienced cubers comparing algorithms and methods • Speedcubers exploring CFOP, Roux, ZZ, and other systems • Puzzle fans who want a camera scanner and visual 3D guide • Anyone who wants to practice with a virtual cube Cube Magic X supports English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Russian. Core features are available without membership. Some advanced speedsolving methods require an optional Cube Magic X membership. Availability and pricing are shown in the app before purchase.

Cube Solver AI

Completely free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no paid tier, no account — every feature described below is simply there when you open the app. Point your camera at each face and Cube Solver AI reads the colours for you, then walks you through the solution one turn at a time, with the layer actually rotating on screen. SCAN WITH YOUR CAMERA A neural network trained for colour constancy runs entirely on your device, so it copes with warm lamps, cold daylight, and the glare that makes white and yellow look alike. A live overlay shows exactly which colour it reads on every sticker while you hold the cube, so you can see it working before you commit. FIX ANYTHING IT GETS WRONG Detection is never perfect on every cube in every light. Tap any sticker on the 3D cube or the flat net to repaint it, with undo and redo throughout. Stickers the model was unsure about are highlighted, so you know where to look first. SOLUTIONS YOU CAN ACTUALLY FOLLOW Every step names the move, describes it in plain words, and animates the layer swinging on the cube, which is far more useful than a line of notation. Step back and forth freely, jump to any move, or hand it to auto-solve and just watch the cube unscramble itself. Choose slow, normal or fast, and let the camera follow the turning face or stay put. 3x3, 4x4 AND 5x5 The 3x3 uses a two-phase search that finds solutions of around 20 moves. Larger cubes are solved by reduction: centres first, then edge pairing, then the 3x3 finish, including the parity cases that only appear on even cubes. FREE, PRIVATE, OFFLINE The neural network and the solver both run on your iPhone, so your photos never leave the device and nothing is collected about you. It works with no signal at all.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cube Solver AI at none against Cube Magic X's 4. Cube Magic X's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
