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
Revolutionizing Modern Transportation
Uber has a fascinating history and has revolutionized the way we think about transportation. The company was founded in 2009 by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp, initially as a luxury car service. However, the idea quickly evolved, and the company launched its ride-hailing platform in San Francisco in 2010. As of Q1 2023, the company has a market cap of almost $70 billion and operates in over 10,000 cities worldwide. In addition to its core ride-hailing and food delivery services, Uber has also made headlines for its innovative projects, such as its self-driving car program and its flying taxi service, Uber Air.

Match-making within transport
Uber generates revenue primarily through its ride-hailing services, where drivers are paid a portion of the fare, and Uber takes a commission. The company's technology platform matches riders with nearby drivers, and payments are processed through the app. The ride-hailing segment is the main revenue source for Uber, and the company is continuously looking for ways to expand its user base and services.
Uber eats – delivering food to your doorstep
Uber Eats is the company's food delivery service that allows users to order food from local restaurants and have it delivered to their doorstep. The service has become increasingly popular, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when people were relying on food delivery more than ever before. Uber takes a commission from the restaurant for each order, making it another important revenue stream for the company.
Diversifying its revenue streams
Uber is continuously expanding its services to diversify its revenue streams. In 2017, the company launched Uber Freight, a platform connecting shippers with truck drivers. Another launch is Uber Health, a service providing transportation for patients to and from medical appointments. These services are still in their early stages, but they show Uber's commitment to expanding beyond its core ride-hailing business.
Uber’s main competitors
Uber operates in a highly competitive market, with other public companies such as Lyft and Grab also offering ride-hailing services. Lyft is Uber's main competitor in the United States, while Grab operates in Southeast Asia. These companies also offer food delivery and other services to compete with Uber's diversification efforts.
