For
People solving a standard 3×3 cube
Worth noticing
Its guide distinguishes following a generated solution from learning a method, and explains common causes of invalid cube states.

Field notes

The capture instructions ask users to keep the indicated neighboring center above each face and avoid turning layers between captures. After scanning, the interface lets them correct individual stickers, with a separate control for rotating an entered face. The FAQ also cautions that having nine of each color is not enough to guarantee a solvable arrangement; orientation errors and certain piece swaps can produce invalid states.
