The CubeSolver app helps you solve a 3x3 cube in a few easy steps: - Scan your cube using the device's camera (or input your cube configuration manually). - The app tries to detects each cubie color from the cube images (it may need a bit of your help along the way). - After you verify that the detection has been made correctly, you'll get a 3D visualisation of the solving process. CubeSolver is completely free, it works offline and no account is needed. Questions? Feedback? If you'd like to see a certain feature, let me know by using the integrated "Contact" option.
