My cousin warned me the Schengen application was a nightmare, and she wasn't wrong. Getting the travel history section correct used to take me ages — it was quick here. It printed out cleanly — no weird formatting issues at the consulate. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. The explanations of each field are short and human, not legalese. Made a confusing process feel manageable. Only downside was I had to refresh once, but nothing lost.
