About

Cube Solver

Scan a physical cube with your camera to automatically detect its size and colors. The app calculates the optimal solution and provides step-by-step 3D animated guidance to solve it. It also features a virtual cube for free play and learning basic algorithms.

Highlights
  • Automatic cube scanning (size & colors)
  • Step-by-step 3D animated solutions
  • Virtual cube for free play
  • Learn basic solving algorithms
  • Supports 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5 cubes
  • Offline functionality

Read full description

Point the camera at the cube in your hand and leave the rest to the app: it scans the size and the colors automatically, works out the optimal solution, then guides you back to a solved cube move by move with a 3D animation. GUIDED MODE — Scan → calculate the optimal solution → follow the 3D animation step by step. Go to the previous step, the next step, replay the last move, or let it play automatically; the progress bar on the right tells you how many moves are left at any time. FREE PLAY — Scramble a virtual cube whenever you like and twist the layers with your finger. Your time and move count are recorded automatically, and your best on this device is refreshed as soon as you beat it. No network needed — play anywhere, anytime. ALGORITHMS — Eight basic algorithms across the seven steps of the layer-by-layer method. Tap one for a 3D demo, and beginners can simply follow the turns to solve all six faces for the first time. • 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 and 5×5 are supported, and more kinds of cubes, more modes and richer ways to play are on the way. • No network, no ads, no account, no sign-in, and nothing is collected or uploaded. Recognition and solving both run entirely on your iPhone. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
