The project 'Vio' (by PrismTech/Vio Technology) is a local booking application for beauty and fitness services in Vietnam, not to be confused with the major travel site Vio.com. While the application exists and is functional, the submission claims 'most people have used my product', which is factually incorrect given the verifiable Google Play Store data showing only 5,000+ downloads since its 2020 launch. The team size (30) appears large relative to the minimal user traction (5k downloads), and the 'super-app' value proposition faces immense competition from established giants like Grab and Gojek. The discrepancy between the claimed reach ('everyone') and actual metrics results in a low score.
