GoCube Edge, The Connected Electronic Bluetooth Cube - Award-Winning 3x3 Magnetic Speed Cube - App Enabled Interactive Smart Cube - Best Gift for Kids & Adults - STEM Brain Teaser Puzzles - Free App

SO happy with this purchase! My son and I randomly bought a Rubik's cube and I decided to try and learn to solve it properly. I started with YouTube videos and was able to solve the first 2 layers within the first week, but found it difficult to remember the rest of the steps and algorithms. I already knew I wanted to get a smoother moving cube, and thought maybe there is one with an app that could help make learning the rest easier. When I saw GoCube, I knew I had to try it out, and I'm so glad I did!This thing is as smooth as butter! I'm no pro cuber, obviously, but the magnets make such a difference. The overall look is super sleek, as well. The app is the biggest highlight for me. The "Academy" section of the app was great for learning. They break up each step and include short videos. I was able to learn a better way to do what I already knew, and it made learning and remembering the algorithms so much easier. I was solving the cube repeatedly on my own in less than a week. Now that I have mastered solving the cube, I am working on bringing down my solve time. I can time my solves with the app, which works great! The timer starts on its own once you make your first move, and stops as soon as the cube is solved. There are a handful of different games you can play on the app, and you can compete with other cubers around the world in different skill levels. I was a little worried there may not be enough users to quickly get matched with other people, but that hasn't been an issue at all. The app also tracks your stats, so you can see your personal best times, number of moves, wins/losses, and more. My 10yo son has learned to solve using the app, with a little extra help from mom, and now he's solving just as quickly as me and begging for his own GoCube! Lol!The only complaints I have is that the positioning of the cube on the app can be finicky, which can be a pain in the butt, mostly just when your in the "Academy" section trying to learn. I also have to plug-in which color cubes are where from time to time, as it can get a little scrambled once in a while. Not a big deal though. I do wish the "Academy" went into further lessons once you've mastered the solve. Like how to solve with fewer moves and different finger tricks and what not. And I definitely wish GoCube had more cubes! I'd like to move on to the 4x4, 5x5, pyraminx, skewb, etc, and it would be so nice to learn with their app. Hopefully, those are to come!

really durable,really fast,and magnet strength amazing!

I use roux method and when I’m at LSE I go fast the sometimes the cube cuts me like the same feeling when someone accidentally cuts you with their fingernail but if you use a different method then you don’t have to worry

I received this cube for Christmas and love it. I already knew how to solve the cube so was unable to use the learning feature. However, based on how-easy to-use the rest of the app was, I bet this feature would be able to teach you if that is your desire. Going off of that, the app is very easy to use, and I have not had a single problem connecting the cube or charging it either. The battery life is also very good, lasting for hours. You can do multiple sessions without having to charge it. The cube sensors when turning the sides are also very reliable, and in the nearly 300 solves I have done with the cube so far, the sensors have not failed a single time. The cube itself is unique, but still very good. To start off, like all modern/high end speed cubes today, it is magnetic. For me, the magnets don't feel too weak or too strong. The curved edges are nice and add a unique feature to this cube, however this along with the smooth feel of this cube leads to a problem. Sometimes, one of my fingers may slip and I either drop the cube or have to reposition it in my hand, or worse, I will turn layers that I didn't mean to turn and loose track of where I am in an algorithm and have to redo steps. This is a downfall, however it is rare and I do not think it is a reason for you to not get this cube. One side note, this cube does weigh 124 grams which is a lot. This was likely something that they couldn't do much about when designing the cube, so I must let it slide. With this said, it is also something that I don't feel should discourage you from getting this cube. Turns just require a little more force to perform. I can still easily do U2 in one motion on it. Another downfall to this cube is the lights. They advertise the lights as a great feature to be able to use the cube in the dark, however you can't. The lights are completely useless. In bright, mild, and dark lighting conditions, the lights are unusable. When you turn the lights on, red and orange look identical, and white and yellow are hard to differentiate between as well. Even when adjusting the brightness setting, there is no difference. This is really disappointing and I am upset to see this feature not be usable. The other big downfall is something I'm not even sure of how it works. To explain it, on my screen, a persons cube will show it still being scrambled, but it will give me a loss and them a win. I don't know what this is, wether an app connection error when displaying the other persons cube, or something else. I have reason to believe it's something else. When this happens to me, a pattern I notice every time is that the person spams moves, getting upwards of 300-400 moves, and this is way above the amount of moves it should take to solve a cube. In addition, they would have to complete this number of calculated move in half a second. I thinks this is just a bug but its super frustrating and is my biggest annoyance of everything. I really hope this gets fixed. The final and most small detail is the stand. Now, I want to emphasize that I might be doing something wrong, but the charger does reach the charging holes when the cube is in the stand. I didn't see myself using the stand to charge the cube because I don't display it near an outlet, but when setting it up when first opening the cube, it wouldn't reach. I did not read the direction or put much time into setting up the stand as I knew I would not use it in this way, but when just following the image, it did not work. All these things should not deter you from buying the cube as they are all small little details. The lights are a huge issue and need to be fixed, along with the app bug, but be honest, how often would you cube in the dark. This was every issue I could think of about this cube just so you could know all the downfalls (at least all to my knowledge) The cube is great and this review in no way intended for you to not buy the cube. In fact, I 99% recommend it. The cube is so much fun. I know this review sounds negative, but I wanted to to point out every small problem I have found so you know completely about what your buying. For every one of these small nuisances, I can name so many other good things about this cube. It honestly amazing and such a cubing milestone/accomplishment. Happy Cubing!
