Review on πŸ”₯ Enhanced Interactivity: Unleash Rubiks Connected Electronic's App-Enabled Features by Justin Spence

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than Gocube but still some issues

Overall very happy with the Cube. I have gocube and connected is better in most areas. It's fast and has a decent weight without being too heavy. I was very satisfied with the application, I had several cases where movements were not registered and I had to remap the cube. I've never had that with gocube. To be honest, Gocube and connected apps are almost the same, but it seems that Rubik app connects to Cube easier than Gocube app. Gocube mirrors your cube and shows real-time spins, while Rubik only shows real-time spins. I honestly don't care that it reflects the orientation of the cube, I don't look at the screen, I choose. For someone new this might be an issue, but if you're already making up your mind I don't see any difference in this feature. What I don't like about Cube. The faces are glued, sooner or later they will peel off. This thing was lubed up like crazy when I got it. When it was first taken out of the box I made a few quick movements and it exploded. Pieces everywhere. After putting everything back together (not easy) I had to be very careful how the corner was cut. Every sharp corner has been cut off and I cut out the corner and middle part. This went on until I actually broke the cube. It hasn't happened in a while, but I'm still concerned and don't cut as hard. When I choose between gocube and connected, I choose connected all day. The Gocube's roundness is an issue, although build quality appears to be better.
