Solve your 3x3 or 2x2 cube in minutes, without paying, without ads and without an internet connection. SCAN YOUR CUBE Photograph each face with the camera or pick photos from your library. FreeCubeSolver reads the colors, checks that the cube is valid and shows which stickers to fix if something was misread. You can also enter the colors by hand. FOLLOW THE SOLUTION The 3x3 is solved in 20 moves or fewer, the 2x2 in the shortest possible number of moves. Each move is animated on a 3D cube with clear notation and a description. Step forward, step back, or let it play at your own speed. LEARN TO SOLVE IT YOURSELF Learn mode teaches the beginner method step by step, with an animated 3D demo of every algorithm. PRACTICE Generate a random scramble, apply it to your cube and solve it, or let the app solve it for you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FreeCubeSolver at none against Magic Cube's shown. Magic Cube's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
