SpeedZip Pro brings archives, file management, scanning and media tools together on iPhone and iPad. Find your files, work with their contents and share the results from one app. EVERYDAY FILE TOOLS Browse by category, search and organize files. Scan documents to PDF, recognize text from scans and export images or editable TXT. Merge and compress PDFs, convert images or TXT to PDF, and export PDF pages. Compress images and videos with adjustable settings while keeping the originals. Text recognition supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English. OPEN COMMON ARCHIVE FORMATS Read and extract DZIP (.dz), ZIP, ZIPX, 7Z, RAR, TAR, TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, TAR.XZ, GZ, BZ2, XZ, LZMA and ZLIB. Open compatible password-protected archives and complete multipart sets. CREATE, ENCRYPT AND SPLIT Create DZIP, ZIP, 7Z, TAR and TAR.GZ from files, folders, photos and videos. Choose compression settings and whether to preserve folder structure. ZIP and 7Z support AES-256 encryption and split volumes, including custom volume sizes. 7Z can also encrypt filenames and offers Copy, Deflate, BZip2, LZMA, LZMA2 and PPMd methods. LOOK INSIDE BEFORE EXTRACTING Browse folders, search filenames and sort by name, size or date. Preview supported files, extract an entire archive or select just the items you need. Choose a destination and how to handle existing files. WORK IN BATCHES Extract multiple archives into separate folders, or create a separate archive for each selected item. Track progress and results in the task center, cancel running work and retry eligible failed or interrupted tasks. Live Activities show progress where supported and enabled. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Archive processing does not upload file contents or passwords. No account is required, and archive passwords are not saved or recoverable. Compatibility depends on the format, compression method and encryption used. RAR and ZIPX support browsing and extraction, not creation. Archive checks assess structure and data integrity; they are not antivirus scans. File management, common archive formats and scanning to PDF are free. OCR, PDF tools, image compression, video and audio tools, and certain advanced archive formats require Pro access. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Five puzzles to twist, one app — and a way out when the real one beats you. FIVE SHAPES, EVERY SIZE A cube, a pyramid, a diamond, a twelve-sided ball and a twenty-sided star — 18 puzzles in all, from 2×2 up to 5×5. (Cubers know them as Pyraminx, Skewb and Megaminx.) Every one of them turns, scrambles and solves for real, in 3D you can spin from any angle. STUCK? POINT YOUR CAMERA Scan the puzzle in your hands, face by face. SpinCube reads the colours and checks they add up. Get one wrong and you fix it with a tap — no starting over. ONE CORNER TWISTED? IT SPOTS THAT Drop it, pop a piece, or let someone twist a corner in place, and the puzzle can never come out again — no matter how well you turn it. SpinCube spots that the moment you finish the scan, instead of letting you go round in circles, and shows you in 3D which way to twist it back. Scan again to confirm the fix. No dismantling, no peeling stickers. THEN FOLLOW IT OUT, ONE MOVE AT A TIME Each step shows you which layer to turn and which way, on a puzzle you can spin while you follow. Go at your own pace, step back when you lose the thread, or sit back and watch the whole solve play out. OR LEARN TO DO IT WITHOUT US The 3×3 comes with the layer-by-layer method — the seven steps most people learn from. Eleven algorithms, each one named, so you can look them up anywhere. Every step opens by telling you what it does and which algorithms it takes; tap any one to watch it run in 3D, then practise it on a cube of your own. The cheat sheet with all eleven is free and yours to keep — the whole point is that one day you won't need the app for this at all. A TIMER WORTH USING Thumbs on both circles, wait for green, let go. The classic speedcubing start, timed to the hundredth of a second. Scan the scramble first and it is saved alongside your time, so you can come back to exactly that mix later. WATCH YOURSELF IMPROVE A personal best for every puzzle, your recent solves as a trend, and a daily streak worth keeping alive. WORKS ON A PLANE Everything runs on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no internet needed. Nothing you scan or play leaves your device. Terms of Use: https://tinuv.me/spincube/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://tinuv.me/spincube/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SpeedZip at 5.0 against SpinCube's 4.3. SpeedZip also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5). SpinCube's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
