Lag in syncing entries from app

I would really like to be able to use the phone to enter transactions, but there are horrible lags in syncing. I entered transactions on 2/2 that appear on my phone. The phone at the bottom says last synced on 2/6, but the desktop app does not show the transactions. In the past, when I have experienced this, I went ahead and added them on the desktop, only to have the phone added transactions appear a few days later so there are double entries. Is there a way to force the sync on the desktop? Or to see when it was last synced on the desktop. Very frustrating. Would like to be able to use the phone app for more than a reference tool.

   I'm having the same issue, and the only workaround I've found thus far is to close the computer app and reopen it, which seems to force it to sync with dropbox (though occasionally I'll need to do it twice). The annoying part of that process is that once you close and reopen the program, Moneydance+ makes you reenter every password as it goes to download transactions, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of having that service do it for you.

   Try CMD-S to see if that forces immediate sync. (or CTRL-S or ALT-S on windows)

   Unfortunately the save command didn't do it; just tried that multiple times and again only closing the desktop app and reopening it forced it to sync.
