The device has amazing capabilities and I’m quite happy with it. It twists like a proper speedcubing cube does though it would have been even better if the cube didn’t have rounded corners as it makes it a bit harder to grip.
The app’s UI doesn’t feel great, it feels like a crossplatform app. I’m impressed with its statistics tracking capabilities, it even tries to detect what solving algorithm I’m using (usually successfully). It’s still missing some features and could be made more “native” but I’ll keep this review short by not listing every single thing that can be made better. It’s software, so can be improved at a later point, which I hope the makers will do.
I bought this for a 15yo who loves the Rubik’s cube. She has really enjoyed timing herself and playing with the cube.
I really like the ‘Solo’ timing feature. There are some extra online games that are pretty fun. I would only look for some additional ability to play with the LED lights a little more. (I’m guessing that possible when the app is updated?)
I reviewed a lot of other designs and this i found was the best. It has the better features, handles really well and the interface offered the best all round enjoyment. Hope this helps others to decide
Can teach very easily especially if you have an iPhone or tablet to pair and use. Very cool app and product for the Rubik nerds!
The app is good, I will love that they will implement a CFOP tutorial. For advanced users. Please we need a CFOP academy!!!
When I received it mine was already opened and scrambled. Also it seems to loose the gyro a lot of times
Wow we like this, my visually impaired child has found it easy to master and learn. The light finction is great. Smooth and easy turning of it and tablet connection impressive. So much fun to have. Worth the spend.
I liked how smooth it is to turn. I like how it lights up. Also, the way it charges sitting on its stand. I will say however, you need to have someone in the house who knows how to solve it already. As it can be very confusing at first. So it’ll help if you can get a bit of a nudge here and there to get stuck in properly.
WONDERFUL! Had a Gan 356 i3, and never got it to link to the app. No support from them unless you send videos (won’t help with photos, screenshots, & descriptions). Just got my Go Cube, charged for a few hours & after downloading the app, it linked in under 2 minutes and works perfectly. I can’t tell you how frustrated I was with Gan. THANK YOU GO CUBE!
Mittlerweile mein neuer main Cube. Das pillowed Design wird oft bemngelt, ich empfinde es als gut. Da ich zur Zeit Roux lerne finde ich das lookahead durch die Runden Kanten besser und es fllt leichter Cube Rotations zu vermeiden. Der Wrfel brauchte etwas Schmierung, dann lief er gut. Ich finde die Magneten sind perfekt abgestimmt. Das ist natrlich sehr individuell, daher knnte auf hohem Niveau gejammert werden das bei der Preisklasse Einstellung mglich sein sollte.
Die App ist sehr gut, hat ein zwei kleine macken, aber ich denke das ist okay und hier keinen Abzug der Sterne wert. Der Cube ist allerdings recht teuer. Andere Smartcubes (GAN) sind gnstiger, aber die App dann eben schlechter (hrte ich).
Ich kann jedenfalls eine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen. Sowohl fr Einsteiger, als auch fr fortgeschrittene. Speedcuber die sub 10 sind werden wohl die Magneten einstellbar haben wollen. Von sub 10 bin ich noch was entfernt… Von daher ist das nur eine Vermutung 🙂
I would highly recommend this to anyone with kids! It’s a fantastic way to get them off social media and doing something that challenges their brain. A must have in my opinion!
We brought this for my 10 year old son who has been asking for a Rubik’s cube for over a year but as none of us know how to solve one we thought it would be a 2 minute toy he would mix up & then after a few attempts give up & discard, so when this popped up while I was looking for a rubiks I done some research & after reading & watching some reviews decided to purchase it.
Well it is amazing, worth every penny.
Once he had run through the tutorial & got the idea of the moves he started following it easily. He then started challenging people online who were at the same level as him. He played with this for a few hours straight until we asked him to join in a family game.
Highly recommend this for beginners & really impressed that as he gets better he can look at his stats and compete with people who are a higher level too.
Worth every penny!!!
My son (10 years old) absolutely loves it! Lots of different games. Highly recommend
Bought for my grandson for his 12th birthday. He was overjoyed (and so was his younger brother!!!!|) he spends hours with i
I received my GoCube yesterday and immediately started with The Academy on the app. I didn’t realize at the time that the stages I was unlocking were actually the steps by which you would solve a scrambled cube. The orientation of the cube in the app kept going wonky, so I recalibrated often to fix that.
Once I had the right hand and left hand moves down, it felt more like muscle memory than active thought in performing them. I watched the video walkthroughs for each step multiple times. Hearing the explanation which seeing the demonstrator perform the moves helped so much. I absolutely needed that moving visual to understand what was going on.
I’ve been playing with my GoCube for just about 24 hours at the time of writing this review. I’m now able to solve scrambled cubes without having to refer to the walkthroughs. The app and GoCube are absolutely amazing, and I am 100% confident that together they allowed me to pick this up so quickly after years of frustration.
There are other bells and whistles as well. The GoCube lights up with white light. The app has a number of games that you can play using the Cube as a controller. You can compete against other GoCube owners in solving the Cube. There’s so much to do that even if you get bored with one game, you can play one of the others. The GoCube came with a lovely display stand that you can also connect the Cube’s charger to, and a black, velvet bag when you want to take your Cube out with you. The packaging was also very nice. The box is a black cube that has a magnetic closure, and it makes a very presentable gift.
I cannot recommend this Rubik’s Cube highly enough. I love mine so much, and I am so pleased that I decided to purchase it. I’m sure you if you’ve always wanted to master the Cube, you will love it too!
I recently purchased the GoCube Edge and I’m impressed with the quality of the cube and the app. I’ve bought it to help me to solve the cube and so far the learner items are easy to follow and enjoyable. I can only assume that I will get into it more in time and have lots of fun solving the cubes from the algorithms learnt
Highly recommend
TLDR: designed for any level of cubers, exceptionally intuitive to use, and overall is loads of fun! Definitely recommend as a gift for absolutely anyone!
I already new how to solve cube and was hoping advanced algorithm was included or some finger tricks. Good fun regardless and stats section is also to track progress.
This fantastic cube is excellent, hours of fun with the solo mode or competing against others. It has a good app to work with and it is stable and reliable
Well done GoCube.
many thanks
Really excellent toy. Came quickly beautifully wrapped and all intact. (We thought the stand was missing but found it later unwrapped with gusto and cast to one side!). Highly recommend this seller and a perfect gift for our puzzle cube fanatic.
Really nice product and good quality but if you want to solve it might time you cannot really distinguish the difference between red/ orange or white/ yellow when the cube has the light ON. They should have put some grooves or small marks that you can feel with the fingers. I have to put the lights in the room to solve it. I hope this issue gets sorted in the future as part from that it is amazing.
I’ve now done about 1000 solves on my go cube and feel I have a good understanding of how it works. For context I can solve the cube with a PB of 22seconds and average 35 seconds.
Beginners
I did the tutorial just for the sake of it. I can see how it would be really useful for those learning and is perfect for people of all ages. It really breaks it down nicely.
There is access to an algorithm book to refer to, the app has a “solver” section for anybody who can’t complete it yet but has OCD about a solved cube.
Intermediate/advanced
I have mixed feelings. The app itself provides no advanced tutorials. No guides for different solve methods such as CFOP, Roux, ZZ, Petrus. So don’t expect it.
Positives for this level of cuber:
-If you are roux/cfop solver it does have a breakdown of solve times from cross speed, pair, OLL & PLL (and equivalent for Roux).
– It easily record and tracks times
– The cube itself is reasonably good.
– can be linked to third party apps such as customer or cubeast for deeper analysis
Bad
– so many simple implementations are missing
– no ao100
– you are stuck with 15 second inspection, no option to increase this to practice cross
– the cube WILL need lubrication
– no tention customisation and the magnets are strong making it a very noisy cube
– The BIGGEST issue for me is the pillow shape, push moves are very hard to execute especially D moves. It’s no good as a main cube because of its unusuak shape for those practicing for competitions. I’m tempted to purchase the Rubik’s Connected just to solve this issue.
– I could go on with niggles but I want.
Overall
I only started Cubing for fun, have no intention of entering competitions and therefore an concede several issues. It’s got me Cubing more and I’m forever pushing for better times.
For a beginner or child I wouldn’t hesitate. Better this than a phone or iPad. Especially if you can’t solve one already.
It’s nice to solve, never locks up.
Best to use this with the app to capture your times.
Great for beginners as the app will teach you to solve it.
It shows you how to solve it in 20 moves.
The Gan 356i is a faster, more fluent cube, but is not as nice, or fun as this.
This thing lights up, but don’t expect to solve it in the dark as it doesn’t shine through the tiles (boo).
But, this is worth buying if you want a Bluetooth cube that you can play online.
Thank you to the seller.
Great cube for beginners or for those wanting to improve their speed. Great tutorial that walks you through the each step of the cube, leading to up to how to solve it
Also the mini games are fun as well.
Once you feel confident enough you can test yourself against others, either with the algorithm or without for those who know the algorithms.
You can also time yourself from scrambled to solve.
Lastly for those who get it NOW!! YOU can complete in the Virtual Red Bull Tournament.
Sometimes you may have to resync the cube.
If you have any doubts about it, don’t, you won’t be disappointed.
Amazing bit of tech! We have two in our family, my son is an expert and can solve in seconds and I am new to this. It suits us both, he can race against others and I can learn how to solve the cube by following the instructions. It links to your phone really easily and does so much more than a normal cube. The company behind it are constantly updating the app with new things and there are games you can play with it too, like a maze that you solve. Definitely recommend 🙂
Whilst this “smart cube” is perhaps a little on the expensive side, in my opinion it is definitely worth the money. The user interface is great, and the feel of the cube is right up there with some of my higher end speed cubes. If you are trying to learn or improve your times, this is definitely worth buying. No regrets here.
My Thought:
Firstly, the app integration is absolutely stunning, I never seen such beautiful artificial intelligence, that works incredible well. It is very beginner friendly and come with easy tutorials to boost up your problem solving skills. The LED light looks futuristic at night and it is very comfortable to play with. Not to mention it also come with charging dock looks good on my desk as awesome decoration.
CONS:
One downside Is little bit over priced but it is worth it, if price tag is between 50-70 I would definitely recommend this product. Another problem that I encountered is a software bug, sometime when I messed up the cube, the app won’t recognise the current cube status therefore you have to manually adjust that in app settings, Im pretty sure this software issues and can be fix in the future update.
RETHINK:
Now in day, instead buying video games, why not spend money on some “real adult toys”? Well, think again.
Really well presented, easy to set up and get going.
My 9 year old was able to use it straight away. The app and device were very simple to login and sync. There are simple tutorials for beginners and advanced challenges for pros.
It is expensive to buy, but it definitely makes the Rubik’s cube more enjoyable, and easier to learn how to solve.
Got this my 12 yr old at Christmas. 1 month later she can solve any messed up cube in less than 3 mins. And it’s not like she’s been constantly at it.
Only dropped 1 star as every now and then it loses its orientation and she has to change angles. But still, it’s amazing.
After trying for many years to master this cube , using books ,online, to no avail. I purchased this came cube, and within 6 weeks I can now do it, in would highly recommend even at 99.00 well worth it.
After 30 long years I can complete the cube! This is a really cool product which taught me the mythical formula for solving the cube in under an hour. Now I’m challenging myself to get faster and faster, it’s quite addictive… Can you solve a cube behind your head? I can!
Smart packaging, comes with a bag, stand and charger. Really good movement and feel, compelling to hold and use. I love the fact it combines a physical game with a digital aspect. I remember the 80’s Rubik’s cube, which I really loved but couldn’t master entirely. This is great, I now have tutoring to learn how to do it! I also love the fact it’s timed and encourages you to improve your speed. Great idea to update the 80’s cube with more interaction, games and social play. Excellent smart cube!
Really nice item. Packaged really nice for a gift. Quality feel.
This is a brilliant speed cube (ie really smooth, magnets to stop over rotation etc) plus a back light for using in low light.
I love mine, I could already solve the cube and had it down to 2 minutes. With this I’ve cut my time down to under 55 seconds in 2 weeks.
Shows you in depth stats so you can find which moves you need to work on, what your turns per second are, what your idle time is etc….
Play online against other people or friends, learn new moves in the Academy which teaches you step by step how to solve it.
Let it show you the steps to get to a completed cube too.
All in all a brilliant cube and suitable for everyone. Sure it seems expensive I suppose, but I for one think its definitely worth the money.
