I would suggest you read the app carefully to see how many years back you need to go. Your 1990's incidents may be old enough to be off the radar. The recent one definitely goes on the app. I'd also suggest you type out whatever you are going to write on the app and put it in Word or another word processor with a spell check. It may make no difference at all but it can't hurt if there are no spelling errors on the app. If it's an online app you are filling out turn off the caps lock key on your keyboard. All caps is considered shouting and is not nearly as easy to read as mixed case. That's all the suggestions I have and hope they help. Good luck.
