Universal
Now everything that made Cubits great on the iPhone is available for the iPad as well. The interface was redesigned to take advantage of the iPad's larger screen and uses many iPad-specific features.
Better still, you won't have to repurchase Cubits for your iPad — buy it once and run it on both your iPhone & iPad.
Intuitive
