Great to learn with
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!

Defective and won't charge!
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 :)

Surprisingly good
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...

Frustrating
Unfortunately, I have not been able to progress with using this cube.The item sent to me had already been opened, with the cube in an 'unsolved' state. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a straight replacement - As this was purchased as a 'flash sale' item, I could only return this for a refund and place a new order at the higher (standard) price.Regardless, I tried to proceed with this cube. Unfortunately, the App would not allow me to log in. Despite multiple messages to the Customer Service e-mail address for this item, I am still to receive any form of response weeks later.I have no option but to return this. For the price, I could have invested in a high end cube. As I was wanting to invest in an electronic cube and was looking forward to playing with this, it is such a shame that the after sales care was so lacking.

Nice cube with excellent software
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.

sticker colours
App is Great!! ,cube is ok obviously not as smooth as a GAN (which is adjustable) but then its not designed for this function ,slightly heavy ,magnetic, shame its stickers which will start to look untidy but i would recommend

Cube connection
If you are a cube fanatic then this could be perfect for you, from solving to beating your time. There are also various other puzzles to keep you occupied!

Oh, yes, bang on :) ...
I originally learned to do the Rubik's cube in the early eighties when in the army, covering during the ambulance strike (Windsor). Much more recently, I've long since forgotten the sequences, have been wanting to learn them again (post-head-injury and awful short-term memory). Since receiving this in the last week or so, I've now followed the 'connected' tutorial twice and happy to write, it's bang on, easy to follow - like having one's own personal mentor - and, with the right aptitude, I can see myself conquering it once again in no time at all. Recommended (Note that I connect with a 2020 iPad Pro.).
