Should favourited games sync with LB database?

Hi all, my question is if I favourite a game on the LaunchBox Android app, should it show as a favourite in my Collections on the LB Database?

https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/collection/manage 

If so the heart (Favourite) isn't showing on my games that i've favourited and not syncing between my signed in account:

I'm signed into the same account on both the browser and Android app.

The reason why I first noticed this is that my favourites didn't transfer across to my latest installation of LaunchBox. I'm trying to find out where I can see what's synced according to this pop-up:

So, the way that it currently works is that if you favorite a game on Arcade and Windows, that game will become favorited across your other Windows/Android builds, as long as they use the same games database ID.

I think the outlier here are the games within that online collection you see. The favorite button there wouldn't be connected to the statistics sync feature, and I believe it was added a long time ago for a different thing entirely that was never fully realized.

We have some plans to refresh the web side of things and it's possible we may revisit the whole collections feature on the games database to see how we can better fit it into our long term plans.

Thanks Faeran, I'm seeing very different favorited games on my Android device compared to my Windows device that are both signed into the same LaunchBox account. I don't think any favorited games synced across to my Android device and the ones I'm seeing are just ones that I manually favorited last week. The Sync Status: In Sync and clicking Sync Now doesn't change anything. I'm using the same set of Roms for both systems.
