Community Insight:
We loveeee it soooooop cooooooooooool.
Before this, we never even knew how to solve a Rubiks cube now we can actually learn very helpful.
It helped us solve our first cube.
We love this app yall should get the x version its amazing butch the app should add cubing battles.
Its a great app but we dont know how to race people online.
This app is GREAT! It helped us solve our FIRST 3x3x3.
You helped us solve our Rubiks cube for the first time? We are so thankful our brother is always scramble our cubes and we are always getting mad at them Thank you.
With the help of this app, we can finally solve the Rubiks Cube.
This is the best rubiks cube app everrrrrrrrr.
First of all we always wanted to solve a rubix cube but we took like 1 million turns but still cant solve it then we saw this app we were interested so we downloaded it and there was a solver option so we clicked it and we got steps then we solved our cube.
We did quick solve and it worked and all of all if we could do 100 stars we wouldve.
Seriously fascinated by this toy and app. Decades of peeling stickers off no more! Easily recommend :).
This is amazing! It actually works! Hooray! Our rubix cube looks new again! Unbelievable.
The app is so good we love the way the app works with us and our solving problems disappear . Its like the app is just like the app is like a our personal teacher to make us a pro at solving. So we just want to say thank you the amazing app.
Thats all. The cube is really smooth, and connects to the app well. The app is fun (idc about bots lol) and we like all the challenges and game modes. We dont even wanna tell you how many hours we spent playing this.
This app is GREAT! First of all Ive always wanted to solve a rubix cube & be super cool and second of all um well we want this other app for yk a videogame hehe and our dad said we could get it if we could learn to solve a rubix cube BUT we ALSO JUST WAMTEF TO SOLVE A RUBIX CUBE IN THE FIRST PLACE NOT JUST CUZ THAT but anyway you should definitely get it cuz you can challenge people and it teaches you how to solve it and its great!! ! Ps the video game was stardew valley we have it on our switch but we wanted to send ourselves money so we can buy a furniture caltalogue and stuff BUT YA WHATEVER GET THIS APP.
It taught us how to do the Rubiks cube and we never knew how to do this Rubiks cube. It was our first time and it was a great time.
The first time we used the app and it didnt seem confusing and has help for beginners like us.
We already solved the regular Rubiks Cube a couple of times using YouTube videos and the documents available to download. But the regular cube is difficult to rotate compared to the connected cube which is a speed cube so since we needed to get the speed cube we figured we would try the Bluetooth connected cube too. Solving the cube was much easier using the tutorial because it would provide immediate feedback if we made a wrong turn. We found out we make a lot of wrong turns!! We wanted to blame the app for messing up but we were Messing up. Anyway, it really was helpful to a beginner like us and well worth the extra money for the interactive connected cube. The cube had 20% battery when it arrived and we charged it overnight. It went from 100% to 90% charge during the hour or so it took us to solve it using the tutorial. We would have done it more quickly if we had just followed the tutorial instead of jumping ahead and messing up the cube. The tutorial even tells / shows you how to undo your mistakes. If you make too many mistakes it makes you start over. Im looking forward to all the additional features offered in the app to improve our skills. The only thing we would like is a Windows PC version of the app so we could use our laptop with the larger screen instead of our phone. But we are very happy we spent the extra money to get the Bluetooth connected Rubiks cube. Highly recommend it especially if your a beginner. Skip the cheaper regular cube and just buy the speed cube with the app.
LOWKEY THE BEST RUBIX SOLVER ALP KIT THERE.
WHEN IT IS SOLVED IT SAYS IT'S NOT SOLVED AND WHEN IT'S NOT SOLVED IT SAYS IT IS SOLVED MY PROFILE IS BRADLEY AND MY CUBE IS BRADLEYX.
No stars don't have a smart cube it's butt we belong in first place.
While the app has a lot of cool features, the training is quite poor. The app clearly does not recognize when someone can already position a piece correctly. This needs to be fixed. If the student can solve the step MOVE ON. For the love of good things MOVE ON!!!!!! And for practice why cant we view the requested algorithm? Use the right hand algorithm. Well gee perhaps we do t recall. But we wont show that unless you want to go through the lesson again.
We love how the app explains what to do when you are trying to learn how to solve it. Im a little sad though, because we dont know how to compete against other people. That is the main reason why we got the cube. Pls add it back.
The only flay is it is annoying to turn the corners.
App is pretty nice and all, one really annoying thing is when the cube gets low battery and the notification pops up in the app, when we click ok the app crashes. We basically cant use the app once the cube hits low battery. Please fix asap.
All it needs are some more catchy fonts.
When we hit solver in the app and we solve it it does not solve all the way the middle row is always to the side of where its supposed to be.
We saw a cool video and decided to go pick it up the same day, its and great idea to help people learn to solve but every time we make 2 or 3 moves, it completely disconnects and then the excitement is gone. We will be reaching out to support.
Got rubiks connected x hoping to play with other people but we can only play solo.
App could be a better layout, and it does get it mixed up sometimes. Rubiks cube isnt as good as GAN and other speedcubes, but still fun.
We keep trying to race in this app, but the thing is that we dont know where to press to race. And, whenever Im solving the cube, it tells us that the cube lost the connection and that we have to leave the app. Im not giving it one star because the mini games are cool and It can solve the cube.
It doesnt let us compete online with our Rubiks connected x but its a fun app.
When we were solving the cube on a turn it was always the wrong move but we were doing the move correctly.
It worked for a while but now we cant connect our rubiks connected x to connect to our phone ( iPhone 12 pro ).
The concept of a tutorial app designed to assist beginners in solving the Rubiks cube is commendable. The app organizes its content into various sections, and Im specifically referring to the beginner-friendly tutorial section. There are a few videos in this section that lack a scrub function, only offering fast-forward, pause, and play options. This limitation becomes particularly challenging when attempting to learn the moves, as the example videos are presented at full speed, making it very difficult to follow along. It would be helpful if these videos were slowed down, allowing beginners to follow along more effectively. The person demonstrating the moves does not make any effort to slow down their pace, leaving the beginner to struggle to keep up. We like the idea of the app the execution could've been much better. Also, you may need to delete the app from the phone and reinstall that will give you the option to reap the cube. We ran into an instant where the physical cube did not match the layout of the cube in the application.
Although everything is cool irl the cube is solved but onscreen it shows that its not solved and we know its the right one cause it rotates at the exact time.
We think this cube is amazing but our only problem with it is that it is wired so that when we try to solve the cube on the app it doesent solve and says that the cube is just mixed up.
We have no idea how to recalibrate the cube to match the app its off balance any help.
It looks like a website from Timu.
Every time we leave the app and rejoin it says cube disconnected, please wait or press quit to leave the app. When we wait, it never loads. When we press quit and rejoin, our cube looks WAY different.
Its good but it keeps disconnecting, our Rubik cube connect thing isint showing up, and its overall just bad.
We have a rubix cube connected x and it ran out of battery and we were gonna charge it until we realized it never came with a charger or doesnt have a charging port either and we looked on the website and it said the battery cant be replaced and Im pretty sure the cube uses a battery and if it cant be replaced so it cant charge and it wont connect to the app anymore and we realized gocube had a gocube Whitch is the normal and a app called gocubeX so how about you can make a Rubix cube connected x for people with rubixcube connected x and can you also tell us how to get more battery when the battery is at 0 on the Rubix cube connected x.
IDK how to turn on location services.
Running through the tutorials, it doesnt show the exact color faces that we have on our cube. When you try to do the moves it suggests, it tells you to stop and undo. You cant complete the steps it tells you, so it wont proceed through the tutorial. No wonder the cube was on sale for $8.
After just one day with this app it already stop syncing up with the cube. It shows us the wrong colors, and even when it is solved, it shows that its scrambled. The other features are cool though.
For some reason we can do everything but go against people we got the rubik connected x and we cant battle anyone please fix this.
This app doesnt have the features that it promised to have. Been crying because we spent 40 dollars on this cube just for it to not have features that it promised on the box.
This app helped us learn how to solve the Rubiks cube in a couple of days! There were so many games to play on it to.
We LOVE this app. It helped us Im our Rubiks cube skills and its super accurate. Except we have to keep redownloadig the app because it doesnt have the same colors and doesnt match our cube. We really dont know if it has to do with us or the app. If you can try to fix this.
