Cube Solver vs Cube Mentor

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/

Most cube apps solve the cube for you. Cube Mentor teaches you to solve it yourself — one stage at a time, with a 3D cube that shows you exactly which way to turn. Point your camera at each face. Cube Mentor reads the colors, works out which stage your cube is already at, and coaches you from there. No memorizing a wall of notation, no scrubbing back through a video, no guessing what "R U R' U'" is supposed to mean. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan — hold up each face and let the camera read it. Or type the colors in by hand if you'd rather. 2. Learn — Cube Mentor works out the stage your cube is actually at, and teaches that stage. 3. Turn — a 3D cube shows every move with an arrow. Follow along on the cube in your hands. THE SEVEN STAGES 1. White cross — four white edges around the white center 2. White corners — finish the first layer 3. Middle layer — the left and right algorithms 4. Yellow cross — a yellow plus sign on top 5. Yellow face — all nine yellow squares 6. Corner positions — move corners into place 7. Final edges — the last four pieces Finish a stage and Cube Mentor names what you just achieved and what it means for the cube in your hands. WHY CUBE MENTOR • Learn to solve it. You are taught the moves, not handed an answer to copy. • Never guess your next turn. The arrow shows you the face and the direction. • Built for complete beginners. No cube vocabulary needed to start. • Camera scanning, with a manual color editor available at every step. • It tells you when to rotate the whole cube, so you always know how to hold it. • Pick up where you left off — your stage is remembered between sessions. • Screen-reader labels throughout, and every move described in plain language. • Reduced-motion support, and layouts that hold up at double text size. PRIVACY • Makes no network requests at all. There is no server, and nothing to sync. • Works completely offline. Always. There is no online mode to fall back to. • No ads. • No account, no sign-up, no email address. • No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. • The camera is the only permission you are ever asked for, and it is used only to read the colors on your cube. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone holding a scrambled 3x3 who has never solved one. Anyone who followed a tutorial once, got lost somewhere around the middle layer, and put the cube back in a drawer. Anyone who has quietly meant to learn this for years and never got round to it. Looking for a cube solver that explains itself instead of just printing a solution? That's this. Cube Mentor covers the standard 3x3 cube. Once installed it appears on your home screen as Cube Coach. You already own the cube. This is the coach.
