Review on Revolutionize Your Cubing Skills with the GoCube Connected Smart Rubiks Puzzle! by Mike West

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sync issues and why so many permissions?

I've had it for 15 minutes now and the device keeps getting out of sync and I have to manually enter the color of each cube and sync it again and again it gets out of sync again. I have reset the IMU several times. I was hoping to use this to learn the Cube's algorithms instead of spending all my time trying to get the device to resync. PS I upgraded the rating to 3 stars because I did a hard reset and was able to paint everything back to normal. give him a little more time. I'll say I'm not overly impressed with the amount of permissions required. He should have full access to my phone (pictures, camera, microphone, storage, etc.). What the heck is all this for?!?Update: December 14th - 4 stars. After studying the initial algorithms, I only used the electronic aspect of the cube for my own timing. However, I also bought this cube for others because it is an exceptional cube. I was afraid that the components could be easily damaged, but I've dropped it several times, even a colored tile popped out once (and back again). and still no visible damage. My son has a box full of dice and is a "speed dice" (e.g. he crafts the dice in about 30-40 seconds) and he keeps talking about the quality of the dice. Slicing something over corners, no greasing required, simple F curl, J curl and so on. I think he wants one too.

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • Clarity
