• Problems: the list stays quick to scroll however many problems you have collected. Boards load once and the list no longer rebuilds itself as each one appears. • Explore: after the computer replies, the win rates on the board are yours for the position in front of you, not the computer's. The toolbar has more room for undo and redo, and "Waiting for ●" now sits in the opponent row. • Computer Game, with Pro: choose Black or White from the menu at the top of the game, any time before your first move. Switching restarts the opening with the same opponent. Computer Games need an iPhone or iPad with 4 GB of memory or more. • Fixes: a White player's level menu no longer disappears once the computer has opened.
