I was dreading filling in the Schengen form by hand at the consulate. I liked that the form remembered my progress so I could finish it after work. Single entry granted exactly as I requested. It's not flashy โ it just works, which is exactly what I wanted. The explanations of each field are short and human, not legalese. I actually felt confident walking into the consulate โ that's a first. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Minor nitpick: I wish the dashboard loaded a bit faster.
