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
Energy First
FirstEnergy is an American company energy company that primarily engages in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. First Energy serves over six million customers across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Jersey, Maryland, and New York. The company operates a vast network of power plants and electricity distribution systems and also provides a host of related services for its customers. The company is headquartered in Akron, Ohio, and its shares are listed on the NYSE.
An Important Merger
FirstEnergy was formed in 1997 through the merger of Ohio Edison Company and Interior Energy Corporation. Ohio Edison had been a longstanding player in the Ohio electric utility industry, while Centerior was formed in the mid-80s through the merger of two electrical companies. Following its formation, FirstEnergy embarked on a phase of rapid expansion through acquisitions and investments in diversified energy generation sources. Some other companies operating in the same industry include Duke Energy, Exelon, and AEP.
Generating Electricity
The company's generation portfolio includes a mix of coal, nuclear, and renewable energy sources. Its nuclear assets, particularly in Ohio and Pennsylvania, have been important pieces in its power generation business, although they have also presented challenges, such as regulatory and safety issues.
In recent years, FirstEnergy has shown an increasing interest in renewable energy, incorporating wind and solar projects into its portfolio. This shift is in line with industry-wide trends towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources. Despite this gradual shift, energy sources like coal and nuclear continue to play a substantial role in FirstEnergy's power generation mix.
The Transmission of Electricity
This segment of the company involves the high-voltage transmission of electric power from generation facilities to distribution networks, which then deliver electricity to end users. FirstEnergy’s transmission network is extensive, featuring a vast array of transmission lines and substations. Through its transmission business, FirstEnergy plays a pivotal role in ensuring the stable and continuous supply of electricity to both residential and commercial customers in its service areas.
