ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Last Layer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rubix Cube Solver has 52K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Rubix Cube Solver's written reviews are positive against 0% of Last Layer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rubix Cube Solver ships an update every 2 weeks, Last Layer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
