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
Beverage industry behemoth
The Coca-Cola company might not need any further introduction than the simple statement “The producers of Coca-Cola”. This is a testament to the impact that the company has had throughout history, and continues to have in modern society. Founded in 1866 the company has continued to expand over the years and is now one of the world's most famous and recognized brands. Coca-Cola has been publicly traded for over 100 years, and Warren Buffet and his investment company Berkshire Hathaway owns a significant stake in the company.
Legendary trade secrets
One important part of Coca-Cola's brand identity is the secrecy surrounding the recipe for their most iconic drink. The formula, known only to a select few and passed down from executive to executive, consists of a unique blend of ingredients. The recipe's secrecy has been carefully guarded throughout the company's history and is today kept safely in a vault at Coca-Cola's headquarters, adding an air of mystery and exclusivity to the brand. This aura of secrecy has contributed to the intrigue and fascination surrounding Coca-Cola, making it an enduring symbol of the beverage industry. One legendary story regarding the secret recipe is how one disgruntled employee stole it from the headquarters and planned to sell it to Pepsi for over a million dollars. Pepsi, not interested in buying trade secrets and producing an identical product to their biggest competitor, promptly alerted Coca-Cola who in turn called the FBI.
Not just Coca-Cola
The Coca-Cola Company offers a variety of products in addition to its iconic Coca-Cola beverage. Some of its notable brands include Diet Coke, Sprite, Fanta, Minute Maid, Powerade, Dasani, SmartWater, Honest Tea, and Vitaminwater. These products cater to different consumer preferences and situations by providing a range of flavors, carbonated and non-carbonated options, juices, sports drinks, bottled water, drink mixers, and more. The Coca-Cola Company strives to fill every possible want from consumers looking for a bottled non-alcoholic drink.
An incredibly well cemented global presence
The Coca-cola Company is well and truly a global brand, and the list of countries where their products aren’t available (oftentimes due to sanctions or logistical issues) for sale is very short. Coca-Cola has achieved a remarkable global presence, with its products being sold in almost every corner of the world. The company has pursued a strategy of international expansion, establishing bottling and distribution networks in numerous countries. Additionally, Coca-Cola's strong brand recognition and marketing efforts have contributed to its widespread popularity. The company's ability to adapt its products to local tastes and preferences has also played a crucial role in its global success.
