Review on Monster Go 3Ai MG356 Smart Cube - Intelligent Tracking, Timing & Movements With CubeStation App (Standard Package) by Gary Cole

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Weak magnets, unstable

It's too fast, I needed to slow it down with heavy lube. It catches a lot. I get much slower average times on this cube than any other magnetic speed cube.For the price, it is a cheap entry point to connected cubes. I love the data. The Gan app is not very good, I highly recommend cubeast.com. This cube works great with it on Android, but I need to repair every time with cubeast on my MacBook pro.I can get similar times with an rS3m or Gan 11m pro, but this cube is a big step down. I catch and mess up pll about 4x more often with this cube compared to an rs3m 2020. That is not an exaggeration. I average mid 30s on this cube and 2-3 seconds faster on a good cube. At first I just turned slower on this monster go ai, but then I realized it wasn't giving a clear picture of what I need to work on. The main stat I like on cubeast is recognition time.Now I go full speed and just catch often. Such is life. It is a good tool for figuring out your weakness in solving, but you should main something else.

Pros
  • Brain Teasers
Cons
  • The app is unusable. Without an app this is just a cube.
