The Good: We have to acknowledge DCS is revolutionary and has changed the service landscape in America. They must be commended for this. I hope it will encourage people to learn the services rather than simply becoming a permanent crutch, but that’s not on them. The Bad: The translations are constantly changing and getting progressively worse. Many are to the point of comedy at this point and every chanter talks about it. Moreover, since Ages was subsumed under the GOA, the order and wording of services can be and has been changed at will. This is not a healthy precedent if we become reliant on the DCS tool. This app has been and continues to be glitchy, though I am sure that will improve with time. Recommendation: Use Ages as an outline if you need it but sub the English text for HTM books, which will not change.
