GoCube 2x2 - The First Ever 2x2 Connected Cube That Allows You to Learn How to Solve The Cube! App-Enabled STEM Puzzle That Fits All Ages and Capabilities. Free App.

The cube is smoother in the hand than most as it has curved edges, the coloured tiles are behind a clear plastic layer. The movement of the cube is very smooth and between the two, it takes a bit of getting used to but it is very nice when you do. It is easy to cut corners when you are tring to complete algorithms quickly. I'm a month or so in and really like it. The charging stand is simple but nice, the cable goes through a little gap and is attached to the stand so that when you place the cube in it and push it back, it is held in place by the charger. I've only charged it a couple of times - but equally, I'm not using it all day, probably only 15 - 20 minutes per day. Overall, the cube is good, but it is the app that makes this such a great all round package and I've not explored all of it yet! There are 5 icons at the bottom of the screen once you have paired with your cube. Starting from left to right, the first is a cup, it represents a leader board of times for the different ways that the cube can be manipulated - many of the times are ridiculously quick, sub 4 seconds! I average just below a minute so I'm a complete amateur by comparison. The second is a boxing glove this represents a series of matches that can be played, some are solo and others connect you with another online player. The third is a cube, in this section you can time yourself solving the cube - the nice feature here is that it starts to time you when you start moving the cube and stops when the cube is solved. There is also a section called solver - this will guide you through the solution from whatever state the cube is in when you start. The fourth is a gaming controller, in this section there is a series of fun games that will support you in becoming a more adept cuber, I haven't played around with this very much yet. The final icon is a graduation cap, this is the academy. It guides you through the steps to solving the cube and is a useful tool. It shows the notations for the basic algorithms to solve the cube in three layers. Using this method with some (quite a lot) of practice you should be able to get to a time below a couple of minutes. You can then sumplement this with guides on YouTube. I did find that you need to regularly reorient when going through the academy. I know that there are other smart cubes on the market, this is the only one that I have so I can't compare them with others - if you have done any research on these you will already know that this one is more expensive than the original Rubik's connect or from Gan. I really like this cube and I've picked things up from the app that have improved my times. If you are prepared to spend the money, the app really makes this a worthwhile package.

Whilst considerably more expensive than the Rubik's cube, the quaility of this cube is exceptional and you can defintely see where the money has gone. Its got a really smooth action, and its quite simply the best i've used. The software is pretty good, and it took about an hour train me how to reliably solve it. If you are looking to learn how to do the cube using the beginners method, this is the right product for you.

Super keen to try the GoCube as family of four. Any recommendations? Or tips before setting up. Regarding the view of the product, the GoCute looks chic and luxury. Can’t wait to give it a go. Big ups to the super hero who managed to deliver the Isle of Man within 24 hours and after a difficult online resulted in me having to put a new item (Christmas gift for my twins. Thank you Amazon x

I was excited to get this. I remember when it first went on the market but was totally unaffordable for me. The cube itself absolutely lovely. It turns/flows brilliantly. However, I am sending it back for a few reasons. I used to be able to do the Rubik's cube realatively fast (but no where close to speed cubing) but I got out of practice and forgot the process. The app is good taking you through the steps of learning. I learnt using a slightly different method but this one seems a lot simpler. The issue is, beyond the basic method there is no more lessons on different algorithms to help you progress to faster speeds. The second issue is that for me, the cube needed almost constant re-alinening and often calibration too, not only was this annoying but even after this, the cube and the app weren't totally matching with the faces/angles between the screen and cube. I may have been able to accept this if I could have progress beyond basics but sadly this is not the case.

A mi hijo le encantó!!

My kid loves playing with this cube, and I have to admit I find it pretty amusing too. Being able to see it solved in minutes with the app is very cool. The app’s “academy” feature means you can actually learn how to solve it step by step, which is great for beginners or kids who want more than just random twisting. The cube itself feels well-made, and the connectivity adds a fun, modern twist to a classic puzzle. We’re not power-users yet, but even just casually, it’s been a great purchase.

+No matter how crappy you are...this cube will help you to learn how to solve the cube! +Beautiful aesthetics <3 +Serves as an amazing cube such as 1) Magnetic Cube. 2) Translucent Cube. 3) Illuminated Cube. 4) Smart Cube. +Very good application! Includes online play 1v1, leader board, other fun games, stats, and freaking more!!! +And yeah amazing unboxing experience! -Not much! apart from, cube and the app gets out of sync easily. Overall, High price, but freaking worth it :))

Great product for beginners..

Ich bin absolut begeistert vom GoCube Edge! Als ein langjähriger Fan des klassischen Zauberwürfels war ich gespannt darauf, wie diese smarte Version das ursprüngliche Spiel verbessern würde. Und ich kann ehrlich sagen, dass es meine Erwartungen weit übertroffen hat. Das erste, was auffällt, ist das Design des GoCube. Es fühlt sich hochwertig an, und die leuchtenden Farben und das reibungslose Drehen der Segmente machen es zu einem echten Vergnügen zu bedienen. Es ist definitiv eine hochwertige Version des klassischen Puzzles. Aber das, was den GoCube Edge wirklich auszeichnet, ist die Begleit-App und die damit verbundene Technologie. Sie verwandelt den Zauberwürfel von einem Einzelspieler-Puzzle zu einem interaktiven Erlebnis, das man mit Freunden und Familie teilen kann. Die App verfolgt Ihre Fortschritte und gibt Ihnen eine detaillierte Analyse Ihrer Bewegungen und Zeiten, was enorm dabei hilft, Ihre Fähigkeiten zu verbessern. Sie bietet auch Lernhilfen und Tutorials, was besonders für Anfänger hilfreich ist. Eines meiner Lieblingsmerkmale ist die Möglichkeit, gegen andere Spieler anzutreten. Es macht so viel Spaß, meine Zeiten mit denen meiner Freunde zu vergleichen und zu versuchen, sie zu schlagen! Es bringt definitiv eine zusätzliche Wettbewerbsdimension in das Spiel. Die Akkulaufzeit ist auch beeindruckend. Ich kann stundenlang spielen, ohne mir Sorgen machen zu müssen, dass der Akku zur Neige geht. Und das Laden ist einfach - nur eine kurze Zeit an der Ladestation und der GoCube ist wieder voll aufgeladen. Der einzige kleine Kritikpunkt, den ich habe, ist der Preis. Es ist ein wenig teurer als der klassische Zauberwürfel, aber ich denke, dass die zusätzlichen Funktionen und das verbesserte Spielerlebnis es absolut wert sind. Alles in allem kann ich den GoCube Edge nur wärmstens empfehlen. Ob Sie ein Zauberwürfel-Neuling oder ein erfahrener Veteran sind, dieser smarte Zauberwürfel bietet ein fesselndes und bereicherndes Spielerlebnis, das Sie immer wieder zurückkommen lässt. Es ist ein modernes Update auf einen geliebten Klassiker, und es ist absolut brillant!
