Because I was aware of the upcoming fix for the sync function, I have been doing my reading on my iPhone only, not touching the reading record on the desktop, since I knew that if I did mark anything on the desktop, it would only create an additional reading plan.
As a result, the desktop record showed I was "Behind" 
Imagine my surprise yesterday when my desktop record revealed that I had "caught up".
Because I have seen this before, I assumed that it was a random moment of function, since I had understood that there would be updates released on both the desktop and the iOS at close to the same time.
But...the sync worked again today. Almost simultaneously.
And there hasn't been any updates released, to my knowledge.
Is it fixed?
