The GoCube academy is a great way to learn how to solve the cube.The app has great breakdowns of solves and can help identify where you can improve.

It’s a bit heavier than other cubes and has a great feel to it. It even knows what method you used to solve the cube, so if you use the beginner method the summary will reflect that. It even goes down into detail like the moves made for each F2L pair. For example, it will show the timings on each step, and the moves made. The summary breaks down the solve into impressive detail. Once you solve the cube the app will show you a summary of your solve. If you’re timing yourself you’re free to start solving whenever you’re ready. During a match with someone it makes you wait until you can make your first move. And you can choose to find a match against someone, or time yourself without a match.įirst you scramble the cube, then it gives you 15 seconds to observe the cube before you start solving. But when it comes down to it, it’s just timing you solve the cube. Matches is where I see speedcubers spending most of their time in the app. It would be nice to see some games that help practice aspects of speedcubing, like drilling algorithms, building out the cross, or building F2L pairs. Overall the games are a fun distraction from cubing. For example, in simon, instead of pressing colored buttons in the correct pattern you turn the correct colored faces in the right order. The GoCube just serves as a novel way to provide input. None of the current games are very spectacular. Currently the app has three games (Cubeysizer, Paint It, and Simon) with three more “coming soon” (Cube Hero, Maze, Shooter).
