Add feature "lock" position when you view a scale, arpeggio, or chord scale relationships. For example: you choose a scale C Major at the 8th fret, then you change to F Major, app will show you F Major at the same fret 8th.
If you are running iphone OS 3, then app will play sample sounds locally. IPod Touch user (1st and 2nd gen) can play sound without wifi access.
Some user reported GR Pro won't start up if their home internet connection was down (but wifi signal still on). This version will fix this bug.
