The Original Rubik’s Connected - Smart Digital Electronic Rubik’s Cube That Allows You to Compete with Friends & Cubers Across The Globe. App-Enabled STEM Puzzle That Fits All Ages and Capabilities

I was never a speed cuber but used to be able to do the cube. I couldn’t remember the sequences and wanted to try to learn to do it again.I was reluctant to buy due to the price, but glad I did. I’ve had the cube for about a week now and within a couple of days, I had picked up the sequences and was able to remember all of them after a couple more days. I can now work on my times.I still have my old cubes but after using this rubiks connected the movements of the old ones are so stiff and have to be aligned exactly to be able to turn. This turns so easily and there are no worries having to be perfectly aligned.It was easy to set up the app. I’ve only had to resynch my cube once so far and that was straight forward and quick to do. The games are fun and quick to play.I was deciding between this cube and two others. Although this one is stickers, I was drawn to this one as it looks and feels like the original Rubik’s cube. I also checked reviews between the three cubes, and decided on this one.I may never be a speed cuber but I’m already faster than I ever was!

Great fun, and teach you how to solve the cube, durable quality, fantastic

I was really looking forward to using this, it arrived at 7:30pm, i plugged it in, struggled to heck to get the blue centre piece off, held the button, nothing.Turns out there's supposed to be a charge light under the white centre square, no light lighting up, my cube is defective and won't charge...Started the return process, would love to get a replacement sent out because i want this!Fortunately i also ordered the phantom cube, so that will keep me occupied while i wait for a refund and re-order once that's all done...Update: upon getting my refund i ordered a second cube, with great relief, that one does work, and I now know my fastest solve is 68 seconds :)

I really like this cube and I absolutely love the accompanying app.Addressing some of the criticisms from other reviews:Yes, it has stickers, but I've got stickered cubes which I've been using for years which still look and solve nicely. If you were to have sticker problems there are lots of specialist cube places which sell replacement sets (mostly so that you can choose custom colours I think, but you could just do a straight-forward replacement too).Yes, the battery percentage doesn't update in real time, but there are two solutions:1) (Carefully) remove the blue centre piece and press the reset button for a few seconds (there a videos online).or2) In the app, just go to the menu (via the hamburger icon) and select Load Cube State.The battery lasts for quite a long time, so this isn't something that you need to do constantly.In conclusion, the cube isn't quite as nice as the Giiker I3S Super Magic Cube, but the app more than makes up for it. Recommended for anyone who takes cubing seriously.

Bought twice and none of them where actually working.Battery not charging at all.I cannot understand how a big company like Rubik's can have such a useless quality control.I really wanted to try this cube, but I will not waste my time a third time going to the post office to send them back.

Having had a normal Rubiks cube gathering dust for years I decided to try this. First things first - it feels 'quality' and it was very easy to sync with the app. The bluetooth range is excellent. Secondly, the app is very intuitive to use and has really good tutorials; don't expect it to 'spoon feed' you, you have to do some of the work yourself but I managed to get my head around it and thats someone who has a normal cube gathering dust! I've not yet tried to use it in competition with others because I want to practice a bit first but the concept of testing yourself against the clock or against other people gives the whole thing some purpose. It's a very clever idea...

Cube doesn't do a great job of keeping synched with the app. You have to manually reprogram the app to match the cube. Why the app can't use the camera is beyond me considering what modern phones are capable of. When the app's not open, the cube won't remember its state.There are many other issues with the app, e.g. forcing you to watch tutorials that you already understand.The old, paper instructions are clearer than the app's way of teaching.At the end of the day, the phone link is just a gimmick but the cube itself is pretty good. It's silky smooth right out of the box and catches when lined up. I wish I'd saved a few pounds and just bought the non-bluetooth version.

Bought this because I got on well with Rubik's online tutorials and figured this could take some of the pain out of learning. Pleased to report that it does. The app tutorial is as accessible as their web page but with the added bonus of giving you a heads-up when you make a wrong turn and letting you practice each step of a basic solve in isolation. Not sure if it would be as good for advanced users but as a starter kit at a fair price I'm really impressed.
