Breton The Flamingo (ID: 000000d178092f82) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/04/2020 It's exactly as described. Larger sessions are kind of slow to save. My only real complaint is that it doesnt seem to work with the new csTimer+ update. but going back to the standard timer fixed this issue.

Terence Cunningham (ID: 0000008e9cbfa514) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/11/2017 Exactly what you'd expect. My only complaint is that if a session is large (Like, 2k+ times), the sync might not be able to save it.
