I restarted my phone and that seems to have forced the sync! But, my phone is restarted regularly (most recently yesterday) and this is a recurring issue. Do I need to restart my phone every time I want a photo to sync? This feels like a bug.

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the app like I suggested previously?
