GAN 356 i Carry 2 UV, Smart Cube 3x3 Magnetic Bluetooth Eletronic Speed Cube with Timer Online Competition with App Upgraded GAN356 iCarry Puzzle Toys for Kids Adults, 10th Anniversary Edition

This cube is a good cube and a great smart cube. My only complaint is the app is a little janky.I bought this cube so I can make improvements to my cubing. I’m already able to solve a cube and averaged about 50 seconds a solve with a PB of around 35ish. My goal for getting this cube was to drill certain algorithms and scenarios and get some good stats on my performance and eventually get to 15s solves. It has gone above and beyond in this regard and works far better than I anticipated for the price.The cube is a pretty solid cube as far as speed cubes go. I have never owned any serious speed cubes but the two I have owned are not so great compared to this one. This one turns super well and feels nice in your hand. It is quieter than my other cubes as well.The smart part of the cube is great! I’m gonna start with the major negative of the app: it was made by Chinese developers for Chinese users first so the English of the app is good, but there are a lot of things that didn’t get translated over (mostly in app messages like “can’t change the username for xyz reason” or whatever). The app definitely needs further development. Now for the positives which are many. This cube is so helpful and has improved my abilities in several ways: 1) when doing a scramble it shows you on screen what to turn as well as the letter (ie L or U’ or F2) and adjusts the scramble to fix miss-scrambles if you make a mistake. 2) it allows you to drill specific parts of a solve and gives you a scramble for that specific step and stops the timer once you finish that step. For example I have been practicing my F2Ls so it gives me scrambles that have the white cross completed already and ends the timer when the last F2L pair goes into its place. I have run the F2L practice over 500 times and my time (on average of last 100) has been trending downwards such that I am solving it a couple seconds faster already. You can drill the cross, F2Ls, OLLs, PLLs and a bunch of other stuff I don’t know what it is. It will also give you info on each of these steps when you do a full solve (like time, steps, and TPS) so you can see what is going well and what needs to be improved.Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and hope the developers continue to fix bugs in the app, but even if it stays as is I know I can get my time under 15 seconds.TLDR: Good cube, super helpful for training to drop my solve time. App is a little janky and some parts are in Chinese but it is still useable and useful.

My son bought this since he is currently into cubing and easily one of his favorites.

Good quality, quick turns, forgiving in cuts. The colors are vibrant and it’s lightweight. I haven’t been able to test the “smart” features yet, but as a regular cube it’s been very easy to use.
