Jetzy is a social travel application established in 2014 that has failed to achieve significant scale after over a decade of operation. While the app is technically functional and recently updated (late 2025), external data indicates a user base of approximately 20,000 lifetime downloads (far below the 'everyone' claimed). The submission's assertion that 'most people have used my product' is factually incorrect and significantly damages the credibility of the evaluation. With fewer than 300 monthly downloads in recent periods, the project demonstrates minimal traction and falls into the lowest tier of the calibration scale.
