Badmephistos Rubiks Cube algorithms!

This application contains nicely color coded algorithms for the Rubiks Cube, as used by Badmephisto. Inside you will find:

1. OLLs (Orientation of Last Layer from Fridrich Method)
2. PLLs (Permutation of Last Layer from Fridrich Method)
3. 2-look OLLs and PLLs
4. Beginners Method algorithms with reminders on how to use them
5. Notation page

For more detailed information on how to use any of these algorithms visit my website.

Pros and cons of Badmephisto app for iPhone and iPad

Badmephisto app good for

Just missing F2L (simple+complete) otherwise very useful. Would also like to be able to zoom on one
Could implement F2L but still just what I was looking for! Very good Job, dude :-)
As a beginner its a nice dictionary for me. and I know f2l pairs should be solved intuitively but there are a few to learn cos you wouldnt ever use those shortcuts intuitively Please add them aswell!
Thank you! : D cause of you i can solve him with the Fridrich merhod
At the oll page there is a little bug where there is a bit blank space over the scrollable cases that could be removed. Other than that nice app! Woul also like to have the beginners tab back or f2l.
Great app comes in handy! All the oll and pll algos right with you :D

Some bad moments

This app is not worth a dollard. I do not recommend it. The explication of the algorithmes are sloppy not really hélio full
As a cube solver who is familiar with the Petrus top/bottom/middle solution, I realized that I wouldnt get any faster than 2 minutes without some speed cubing skills. After visiting several speed cubing web sites, I found the Badmephisto site easy to follow with excellent illustrations and videos. So, naturally, I downloaded this app. Since the site encourages users to start with the Beginner algorithms and progress into the F2L, OLL, and PLL skills, I would expect to see the Beginner page included in the app. Not true. As a result, I cannot use the app to follow the authors advice on algorithm progression. Im sure experienced speed solvers are laughing at this review, but it seems like a major omission to me. Also noticed that the interface for the OLL page starts mid page as makes me wonder what is missing there as well. For such an awesome website, this app could have been the perfect compliment, but sadly, in the eyes of this reviewer, it is not.
Very useful! My favorite app! Id love to see an update for names on the plls and f2l!
The perfect app! I just wish there was another way to learn than to just look and memorize. Add a timer and some flashcards?
This is a one of a kind app. The only two I use are a timer and this, but I have like eight. It would be really helpful to me personally if you added checkmark boxes to mark ones we already know or ones we need to learn. That is the only thing I see that can be improved for me.
This is the best app ever! Is soooooo much better than just having to have too many printable sheets! ONLY $0.99!!!
