RELEASE/UPDATE 2011 08 19

I uploaded another update today. If you download this app you'll find a slightly improved user interface. No changes are visible at first glance, but, in 45 degree angle mode and on a smaller screen you'll find the selection of "turning arrows" to be improved. This is especially true on the smaller screen devices. Also, in either regular or 45 degree mode you'll find that you can spin the cube by 'swiping' to the left or right.

Remember you can turn faces of the cube in 45 degree angle mode by selecting a turning arrow and then selecting the 'go' button at the bottom of the screen. Also remember that you can turn off the mirror and spinning animation, and switch between 45 degree and normal mode by going to the 'options' page. You can always select the move you want to perform by using the dropdown spinner at the top of the screen.

RELEASE/UPDATE 2011 08 06

This release adds the 'Mirror' functionality to regular mode. The Mirror option, when turned on, shows the side of the cube that's facing away from you in regular mode. This way you can get information about all six sides of the cube without rotating it. Basically you can tilt the screen to see five of the sides, and the mirror allows you to see the last side - the side that's facing away from you. Here's a screenshot:

Hope folks like this. You can turn it off in the Options page at the bottom of the Options list.
