It did take some time for the photos to download but I was then able to easily transfer them with the Photo Transfer app which is light years faster than downloading them from iCloud Photo Library.  Again, many thanks for troubleshooting this and solving my dilemma so quickly!

Thank you so much for your help - I will test it out again shortly and see if all the photos appear in the transfer.  I did log into iCloud and all my 800+ photos appear. I have the option to download them so I selected an album with about 50 photos.  you are required, though, to save each photo separately - 50 windows popped up one at a time and I have to click on Save each time - it was very tedious - much prefer using your app.  Again, thank you, and I will post a comment after I try to transfer again.

I do not have a camera roll since I updated my phone in the last week.  At the same time, I enabled iCloud Library - the Beta version. Is there any way to reverse this so I can access all my images with the app?

I am having the same problem.  I have an iPhone5 with 800+ photos, all taken with my iPhone. When I open the app and try to transfer them to my MacBook, only 191 of the images are displayed. It has worked flawlessly in the past, displaying all the images on my iPhone.  But now, over 600 images do not show up.  I recently updated to version 8.1.2  Please advise - thank you.
