Hey 🙂 

 

Have you tried a clean reinstallation of the app? 

Be warned, that you will need to redownload all your offline synced content when doing this!

Can you try restarting your iPhone by holding the Home button and the Lock button together for about 10 seconds? That often helps with this kind of problem.
