One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

The company is one of the leaders in their field with a rich history spanning over a century and today the company operates on a massive scale, with over 100.000 employees. ABB is headquartered in Switzerland, and its stock is traded on both the Stockholm and Zurich stock exchanges.
A Merger Between Two Historic Companies
ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) is a multinational corporation headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, that was established in 1988 through a merger of ASEA (Allmänna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget) of Sweden and BBC (Brown, Boveri & Cie) of Switzerland, both founded in the late 19th century. ABB has played a key role in the development of numerous innovative products and systems, most notably in the fields of electrical engineering and automation.
Among their most notable inventions is the world's first commercial high-voltage direct current (HVDC) link, commissioned in 1954.
