xcross.gg is a cube timer and speedcubing trainer for every level, from your first Rubik's Cube solve to sub-10 practice on a smart cube. Cube timer A complete speedcubing timer with random-state scrambles for every WCA event: 2x2 to 7x7, one-handed, Megaminx, Pyraminx, Skewb, Square-1 and Clock. Inspection, AO5, AO12 and longer averages, one session per event, and stats that show your PB trend, consistency and sub-X progress. Coming from csTimer? Import your history in a few taps. Smart cube and smart timer Connect a GAN, MoYu or QiYi smart cube over Bluetooth, or a GAN Smart Timer. With a smart cube, the cube timer splits each solve into cross, F2L pairs, OLL and PLL, with recognition and execution times, TPS and a full move-by-move replay. Find your weak spots Your step times are compared with millions of solves from cubers of every level, so you see where you lose time against cubers at your speed. Each solve also gets chess-style annotations that point out the good finds and the costly mistakes. Trainers Algorithm trainers for OLL, 2-look OLL, PLL, ZBLL, ZBLS, F2L pairs, CLL, EG1 and EG2. PLL recognition, OLL, PLL, EO and CP prediction, F2L to OLL and OLL to PLL transitions, PLL time attack, an inspection trainer, and cross, xcross and xxcross trainers. Algorithms A large algorithm database for every puzzle and level, with 3D previews, alternative algs and printable PDF sheets. Play with friends Create a room, share the invite code and race your friends live on the same scrambles, in a 1v1 duel or with a whole group, scored on single solves or on an AO5. Their smart cube and time move in real time on your screen. Take on the daily AO5 challenge, earn XP and badges, and climb the trainer leaderboards. Reconstructions Replay thousands of reconstructions from top speedcubers move by move, or write and share your own in the reconstruction editor. Practice tools A metronome, a pomodoro timer, PB targets and a TPS calculator, right next to the timer. xcross.gg is available in English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese and Chinese. Some features need a Pro subscription. New features ship often, and your feedback goes straight to the developer.

EasyCube Speedcube Trainer

EasyCube teaches you to solve the Rubik's cube, then to do it faster. The 3×3 and the 2×2. Tell it where you are and it puts you on the right method, with what you already know ticked off. Beginner, layer by layer. CFOP with the last layer in two looks while you learn it. Or full CFOP. For the 2×2, beginner or Ortega. SOLVE WITH ME Show your cube to the camera, or copy it onto the plan, and the app walks you to the end with the beginner method. It names each case, says why the sequence works, then gives you one move at a time, with the colour of the face to turn. A REAL 3D CUBE Every algorithm plays on a cube in three dimensions, move by move. Tap a move to jump to it. Turn the cube with your finger to look underneath. Show only the pieces the case is about and grey out the rest. 172 CASES, WRITTEN FOR FINGERS 41 F2L, 57 OLL, 21 PLL, 40 COLL, and 13 for the 2×2. The brackets mark the triggers your hand already knows, not groups of three. Don't like an algorithm? Replace it with yours and the app keeps yours. PRACTISE A timer for each cube, with real WCA scrambles, drawn at random from every state of the cube. Recognition, for naming a case without solving it. From memory, for rehearsing an algorithm on the app's own cube when yours is not to hand — nothing is timed there, it is for learning the moves. And the cross in fewest moves, where the app knows the true optimum and tells you. THE BEGINNER METHOD, ILLUSTRATED Every step shows the piece it is talking about, on a cube, before giving you the sequence. Notation included, if this is your first time reading R U R'. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No adverts. No in-app purchases. No tracking. Your times and your progress stay on your device, and travel through your own iCloud if you want them elsewhere. The camera reads the colours of your cube: no picture is kept or sent. All that leaves is a daily count of which features were used, anonymous, and a setting turns it off. Free, and staying that way.
