CubeSnap solves your cube from two photos. Point the camera at your scrambled cube with the white center facing up. Snap. Flip it over so the yellow center faces up. Snap again. CubeSnap reads all 54 stickers and plays back a step-by-step solution on an interactive 3D cube. WATCH IT, DO NOT DECODE IT Your solution plays as smooth 3D turns with the current move highlighted, adjustable speed, and a flattened net that tracks every step. Step forward and back through each turn until it clicks. NO CUBE? TRY THE DEMO The home screen solves a sample cube the moment you open the app. No account, no setup. GOD'S NUMBER Every scramble can be solved in 20 moves or fewer, a bound nicknamed God's number. The gold badge celebrates when your solution meets it, and Tighten hunts for something even shorter. FAIR AND SIMPLE Reading your cube is free. Unlock your first solution with a single purchase, or go unlimited with CubeSnap Unlimited. No ads, ever. PRIVACY FIRST Your photos are used to read the cube and nothing else. No account required. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Solve My Cube turns a scrambled Rubik's Cube into a clear, animated solution you can actually follow — no memorizing algorithms, no confusing notation. Point your camera at each face and the colors are detected for you. Prefer to type it in? Paint the cube net sticker by sticker. Either way, you get a step-by-step 3D walkthrough that shows exactly which face to turn and which way — at your own pace. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Smart camera scan — capture all six faces, colors detected automatically • Manual entry — paint the cube by hand when you'd rather not use the camera • Animated 3D solution — watch every move play out on a rotating cube • Plain-English steps — "Turn the front face counter-clockwise," not just cryptic letters • Move notation too — R, U, F' and more for when you want it • Playback controls — slow down to 0.5×, speed up, step forward/back, or replay • Shuffle & solve — no cube on hand? Scramble a virtual one and watch it solve • Beautiful dark & light themes • Fast, private, and fully on-device FREE. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. No sign-ups, no subscriptions, no interruptions — just open it and solve. Whether you're solving your first cube or shaving seconds off your time, Solve My Cube makes every turn make sense.
