Cubelab teaches complete beginners how to solve a 3x3 cube. No prior knowledge, no memorising long algorithm lists on day one, and no videos to pause and rewind. Just a clear path from a scrambled cube to a solved one. THE LAYER BY LAYER METHOD You learn the same method most people use to solve their first cube, broken into small steps you can finish in one sitting: • The white cross • The first layer corners • The middle layer edges • The yellow cross • Positioning and orienting the last layer Each step builds on the one before, so you always know where you are and what comes next. SEE EVERY MOVE IN 3D Every move and every algorithm is demonstrated on an animated 3D cube. Rotate it with your finger to look at any face, replay a sequence as many times as you need, and follow along with your own cube in your other hand. Watching a turn happen beats reading notation you do not know yet. SCAN YOUR REAL CUBE Point your camera at your cube and Cubelab reads the colours of each face. If it misreads a sticker you can correct it before solving. From there it follows along with the cube actually sitting in front of you. Scanning is optional, everything else in the app works without it, and images never leave your device. AN ALGORITHM CHEAT SHEET Once the method clicks, you will want the algorithms without the lesson around them. The cheat sheet collects every sequence in one place, so you can look one up mid solve instead of scrubbing back through a tutorial. 22 LANGUAGES Cubelab speaks Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Ukrainian, Urdu and Vietnamese. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY • Free, with no ads anywhere in the app • No account, no sign up, no email address • No in-app purchases Cubelab is for anyone who has owned a cube for years without solving it, anyone who solved one once and forgot how, and anyone teaching a friend or a class. Pick it up, follow the steps, and solve it.
