As a first-time applicant, I honestly had no idea where to start. I uploaded my passport scan and it pulled in my details correctly, saving me retyping. Took me roughly an hour and a half including gathering documents. I liked that I didn't have to create ten accounts across random sites to get this done. Support answered a quick question about bank statement translations in minutes. The explanations of each field are short and human, not legalese. 10/10 from me.
