Background:
During Covid I was bored and decided to learn the cube. Since then I've got pretty good but the original cube I bought didn't cut corners very well and would cause me to over shoot my turns sometimes. Currently my personal best time is 1:19 and I've been trying to find a cube that would help me get under a minute. Every time I buy an expensive "Speed Cube" that is recomended on all the YouTube Channels or websites I'm just disappointed. The problem with the ones I've tried is they are so "fast", or in my novice vocabulary loose, that I ened up spinning them in directions I don't want to when doing other moves. I'm sure this has something to do with my skill level, but I'd like something that will help me were I'm at. I've bought 4 different ones and even tried the ones with different tension settings and magnets as well as tightening them with a screwdriver. In addition, I've also been using a separate app to time myself. You have to go from using the cube to pushing the button on your phone screen and sometimes you don't hit the screen right and a few more seconds are added.
Pros:
I bought this cube because I thought it was cool that the app was directely linked to the cube and some of the reviews mentioned how snappy it was to it's positioning. HOLY COW, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. It snaps right into it's position really well and over shooting is not an issue at all. It also cuts the corners very well and having the app do the time for me is way better than what I was doing in the past. I'm super stoked I decided to give this one a try and it will be the primary cube from now on. I'm also buying one as a gift.
Cons:
The box doesn't really come with any documentation so I had to look on the Amazon questions here to figure out there is a light under the middle white Rubiks cube sticker that lights up to let you know you are charging. Then you have to download the app to see how charged it is. Other than that, it was pretty self explanitory....it's just a rubiks cube. The only other thing I can say, which is my biggest complaint is that the color of the Orange and Yellow is a little too similar. My other cube definitely has a way better contrast than this one. I would imagine after using it for awhile I'll get used to it, but initially it's a little confusing when I'm trying to be fast. If I don't get used to it, I'll just buy some different stickers or maybe just cut some orange ones out with my cricut. I heard TheCubicle.com are really good. I'll update this, if I end up buying some of those.
Other:
Since I already know the beginner method or what some may call the White Cross or the layered method I didn't use the app to learn. However, I originally just learned the algorythms and never learned the official way to read cube moves. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, they have a letter like U or U' (U prime). This letter tells you to move the top of the cube clockwise (U) or counter-clockwise (U'). Since I started using the other app to time myself I started teaching myself to read moves like this so I could use their scramble code instead of just mixing it up on my own all willy nilly. With all that being said, the way the Rubiks Connected app shows the cube while I'm scrambling and shows me when I mess up is very clear and easy to understand. With that in mind, I can say that if you were using this to teach yourself how to cube I think it would be extremely helpful.

Avec une différence de prix de 30€ avec une application quasiment similaire, je ne comprenais pas la différence de prix. A part les petites leds sur le go cube. En réalité la différence ne s’arrête pas là. Le go cube a un gyro qui permet de le tourner et de le voir tourner en direct sur l’écran du téléphone, le rubik’s quant à lui reste fixe, avec la face blanche en haut et la face verte face à soi. En outre le rubik’s fait plastique cheap à côté du go cube dont les matériaux semblent plus solides. Enfin la manipulation est plus simple avec le go cube qui est légèrement plus petit et glisse plus facilement. Quant aux stickers du rubik’s, ca fait quand même aussi très cheap. Paradoxalement et même si le gocube est de qualité supérieure, j’ai un petit coup de cœur pour le rubik’s parce qu’il ressemble à celui de mon enfance. L’application est très bien faite, que ce soit sur l’un ou l’autre, par contre j’avoue que j’aurais aimé les méthodes de rapidité parce qu’avec la méthode classique des couronnes que j’ai aussi apprise dans les années 80, je n’ai jamais réussi à faire mieux que 1'30 ;) j’espère que ça se fera dans une prochaine mise à jour. En résumé je conseille le gocube pour tout débutant, pour les enfants et le rubik’s pour les vieux nostalgiques des années 80 comme moi qui connaissent déjà un peu le cube.
