As a first-time applicant, I honestly had no idea where to start. Each section has small notes explaining *why* the consulate asks, which helped me answer properly. I printed everything double-sided as instructed and had zero issues. The explanations of each field are short and human, not legalese. Everything is laid out so even my mum could follow it, and she's 68. 10/10 from me. One small note: the mobile version could be a touch smoother.
