Cube Coach: 3x3 Solver & Timer

Speedcube lessons, CFOP & F2L

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

The only cube app that teaches you to solve — not just solves it for you. 25 lessons on a live 3D cube + WCA timer. Scan your cube, get the exact moves. MOST CUBE APPS JUST SOLVE THE CUBE FOR YOU. CUBE COACH 3x3 TEACHES YOU HOW TO SOLVE IT YOURSELF. Twenty-five hands-on lessons on a live 3D cube, from never-having-solved to sub-20-second CFOP. Every lesson lets you scan your real cube, then walks you through the moves on screen — one step at a time, exactly the moves you need from the exact state of your cube. THREE COURSES. TWENTY-FIVE LESSONS. • Foundations — Notation (free), the white cross (free), first layer corners (free), middle edges (premium), last layer (premium). Your first full solve. • Intuitive F2L (premium) — Pair up corners + edges and slot them together. The transition from beginner to intermediate speedcubing. • 2-Look OLL & PLL (premium) — Ten OLL algorithms + six PLL algorithms, with recognition drills under timer pressure. THE KILLER FEATURE — STATE-AWARE SOLVES In every lesson, tap "Capture your cube" to scan your physical cube with the camera, then tap "Solve {step name} from this state." Cube Coach shows you the exact moves to reach just that step's goal — not the whole solve, not the next ten steps, just what the lesson is teaching. Step through Prev / Play / Next on the 3D cube while mirroring the moves on your real cube in your hands. THIS IS HOW HUMANS LEARN. NOT HOW SOLVERS SOLVE. The mid-stage solvers don't use a black-box optimizer. They emit the named algorithms each lesson teaches — Sune, R U R' U', the A-perm — so what you watch on screen is what you'll eventually do from memory. WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE FREE TIER • Three Foundations lessons + a cube solver • Speedcubing timer with WCA-style Ao5 / Ao12 / best-single tracking • Scrambler with full WCA random move sequences • 3D cube playground — scramble, twist by tap or drag, solve from any state • Capture your physical cube via the camera or paint it in by hand • Save and load cube snapshots so you can return to a state later WHAT'S INCLUDED IN PREMIUM ($8.99 one-time, lifetime) • All Foundations lessons • Every lesson in Intuitive F2L (10 lessons) + 2-Look OLL & PLL (7 lessons) • Ad-free everywhere ONE-TIME PURCHASE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. YOURS FOREVER. Cube Coach is built around one idea: the difference between watching a solve and actually solving the cube is muscle memory. Every interaction in the app — capture, step, play, scramble, time, drill — is designed to move algorithms from the screen into your hands. PRIVACY No accounts. No tracking across other apps. No analytics SDKs. Cube Coach stores your solves and lesson progress on-device only. The camera is used solely to read sticker colors during cube capture — frames are processed in-memory and never written to disk or transmitted off-device. Built for iPhone and iPad. Universal app. Free to download.
