Schengen Visa Pro popped up in a Reddit thread and I thought I'd give it a try. They flagged that I had the wrong consulate jurisdiction and probably saved my application. I used the printed documents directly and didn't change a thing. It's rare to find a form-filling tool that doesn't feel clunky. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. 10/10 from me. Only downside was I had to refresh once, but nothing lost.
