Got a cube but no idea where to start? Cubing is a 3D cube app that teaches you the 3×3 cube from scratch. No memorizing up front. You start with what pieces and layers are and how to turn the cube, one step at a time. ■ 8 chapters to your first solve Pieces and layers → controls → white cross → first layer → middle layer → last layer. Try every step on a real 3D cube, and get a hint whenever you're stuck. It doesn't just tell you what to do — it shows you why it works. ■ Master 119 algorithms F2L 41 · OLL 57 · PLL 21. Each case goes through three stages: learn → practice → time. The app spots your weakest group and suggests what to practice today. ■ Timer and rankings Single, Ao5, Ao12, Ao50 and Ao100. The timer starts automatically on your first turn. In the Daily Contest, everyone gets the same scramble — see how you stack up against cubers around the world. ■ Build your cube collection Wood, carbon, crystal, golden, frost… Collect and upgrade 27 different cubes. They don't just look different — turn speed and corner-cutting feel vary slightly. We kept the performance gap as small as possible, because skill should decide the result. ■ Made for you if · You bought a cube but still can't solve it, even with videos · You can solve it but can't get under 3 minutes · You want to start F2L but 41 cases feel overwhelming · You like a quick daily timing session — About purchases — Cube boxes (gacha) can be opened without paid currency.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cube Solver & Tutor at none against Cubing's shown. Cubing's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
