CubeCoach: OLL & PLL Trainer

CubeCoach teaches the last layer of the 3x3 cube, one case at a time. Start with the two-look method, move on to full OLL and PLL, and use the 4x4 and 5x5 roadmaps when you are ready for bigger cubes. BEFORE YOU START OLL and PLL finish a cube whose first two layers are already solved. If you cannot solve the first two layers yet, the two-look path opens with a short guide: build the cross, then insert the four corner and edge pairs. Then come back for the last layer. TWO-LOOK FIRST The two-look path splits the last layer into four steps: make the top cross, orient the corners, position the corners, then position the edges. It uses 15 algorithms and is the recommended place to start. FULL OLL AND PLL All 57 OLL and 21 PLL cases, each with a recommended algorithm, recognition tips, the holding position and setup moves, so you can create any case on your own cube and practice it. Many cases also include alternative algorithms, labeled by the kind of turns they use. Choose the one that suits your hands and CubeCoach uses it when you practice. 4x4 AND 5x5 Reduction roadmaps take you through centers, edge pairing and the 3x3 finish. They include last-two-edge pairing for 4x4, four last-two-edge patterns for 5x5, both 4x4 parity repairs and the 5x5 last-edge repair. In total CubeCoach covers 87 cases. LEARN IT SO IT STAYS - A notation guide for face turns, primes, wide turns, slices and rotations. - Algorithms split into short groups, with memory cues for familiar triggers. - A 3D move player: step forward and back, play the turns as animation, and drag to see the cube from another side. - Spaced repetition: due reviews come first, then a few new cases a day. You set both daily limits. - New cases show the moves. Familiar cases start from the pattern, so you recall the moves before you see them. FIND YOUR CASE Not sure which case is on your cube? Tap in your last layer in the pattern finder. CubeCoach names the case, shows how to hold it and gives the moves. OPTIONAL CAMERA SCAN (3x3) You can also scan a 3x3 cube with the camera. Hold a corner in the guide and turn the cube slowly. CubeCoach maps the six faces from the corners it sees, then shows the result so you can correct any sticker before it looks up the case. The scanner expects the standard color scheme: white opposite yellow, green opposite blue, red opposite orange. Uneven or colored light can cause misreads, so check the review.
