Rubik's Official Cube 4+

Virtual cubes are great!

I’ve had this app for three days and I already love it! The virtual teacher works absolutely incredible as long as you go slow if you look at the algorithm and go ahead and do it if you know the moves then you’re out doing the virtual teacher and it just pretty much quits so try not to go too fast or it will stop. Another plus of this app is you are able to do 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 virtual cubes and for that function you don’t have to have a Rubiks brand cube you can just do it. Also another plus of this app is the cube timer works spectacular it gives you optional inspection time and everything it works just like a pro speed stacks timer like the pro cubers use and it gives you a scramble so that is really nice about it and I really like that and I hope Rubik’s can improve this app even more and I think it would be a really awesome app! Sorry for this being so long😅

Great for beginners! Slight problem

This app is pretty great! If anybody’s got a Rubik’s cube laying around their house, a phone, and some spare time, they could probably learn to solve using this app! The AR system seems really cool (although I was not able to try it myself because I wasn’t using a Rubik’s brand) but I have seen people use it efficiently! Although, if I had to criticize something, it’d have to be the virtual cube and the timing system. Firstly, the virtual cube, like many other virtual cubes, is hard to control, and that makes sense as it’s hard for the system to detect which side you’re trying to turn at all times, but it is slightly better than other ones I’ve tried, so good on your part Rubik’s! Secondly, the timer is very weird. To start timing, you have to tap the bottom of the screen, which can be really weird. I recommend making it so you can start inspection by tapping anywhere on the screen like ChaoTimer and CubingTime. Also, having to change your scramble by pressing that specific area in the middle is also weird. Once again, I recommend making so you slide your finger across the screen, or double, or something other than just tapping that specific area. But nonetheless, the app is really good and I think with some adjustments it could be perfect!

Developer Response ,

We are glad that you like it! Thank you for your feedback. We take all feedback seriously and will consider improving those functions in future release. Thanks.

Good enough

It takes some getting used to, but it’s probably the best they could come up with for a 3d cube on a 2d screen. I taught myself how to solve it consistently, using a tangible cube, a couple months ago. I only use about eleven simple algorithms that I figured out over a couple hundred hours, off and on over the years (my first solve took me somewhere in the neighborhood of seventy hours about ten years ago). With this app, it takes me a little less than ten minutes. With a tangible cube, I average about three. So don’t be discouraged if it takes you a while. My first timed attempt on this app took me over an hour when a tangible cube was taking me an average of eighteen minutes. So whatever you average with the toy, you’ll probably be multiplying that by three or four to solve with this. So why do I use it? I can keep the sound off, and avoid annoying anyone around me.
