excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
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.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.

Frequently asked questions
German Telecommunications
Deutsche Telekom AG, headquartered in Bonn, Germany, is one of Europe's leading telecommunications companies. Established in 1995, it stemmed from the former state-owned monopoly, Deutsche Bundespost. Deutsche Telekom's operations span from fixed-line and mobile communications to internet services and IT solutions. Recognizable by its magenta-colored branding, the company has a significant presence not only in Germany but also in many parts of Europe and other global regions. Beyond its domestic market, T-Mobile, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, has established a strong market presence in the U.S. telecommunications industry.
Roots in a State Monopoly
Deutsche Telekom's roots lie in the "Deutsche Bundespost," Germany's state-controlled postal and telecommunications monopoly. By the 1980s, a global trend toward deregulation and privatization prompted Germany to reevaluate this structure. In 1989, the Postreform II legislation divided the Bundespost into three entities: Deutsche Post (present-day DHL), Deutsche Telekom, and Deutsche Postbank. A pivotal moment occurred in 1995 when the company underwent an initial public offering, transforming the telecommunications company, previously owned by the state, into a publicly traded entity.
A Key Player
Deutsche Telekom AG stands as one of Europe's largest telecommunications providers, with a footprint that extends globally. The company operates across a spectrum of services: fixed-network, broadband, mobile communication, and IPTV for consumers, as well as ICT (Information and Communication Technology) solutions for business and corporate clients. Its mobile communication services are particularly noteworthy, serving millions under the well-known brand T-Mobile. T-Mobile is separately listed on the NYSE and does the majority of its business in North America while Deutsche Telekom is primarily focused on the European Market.
Not Just Phone Plans
In addition to its core telecom services, Deutsche Telekom is actively involved in cloud services, healthcare solutions, and media. The company also offers various broadband solutions catered to both private individuals and businesses. In order to grow and remain relevant, Deutsche Telekom invests in next-generation networks like 5G, ensuring both consumer and business clients receive top-tier connectivity.
