SPEND LESS TIME ON YOUR PHONE AND LOWER YOUR STRESS Other news companies send constant, fear-mongering notifications about so-called "breaking" news. We don’t do breaking news or endless scrolls. We publish once per day so you can get up to speed and then go touch grass WHERE DID ROCANEWS COME FROM? • 3 years ago, 3 friends couldn’t stand legacy media companies. They wanted their information without spin or fear – so they founded RocaNews • Roca began delivering original news content on Instagram. It quickly grew to over 1 million followers and has since become the world’s fastest growing news company, with 3M+ daily readers across platforms WHAT’S A ROCA? “Roca” (ROW-cuh) is short for “Pororoca”, a biannual wave that sweeps the Amazon River. Surfers come from across the world to surf the Pororoca; it’s a wave that brings people together. That’s Roca’s mission with the news. HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT OUR COVERAGE?

    It’s interesting how you come up with topics for stories that other news outlets don’t even mention. I’ve learned a lot from this site. Thanks for keeping us informed!

    Well thought out, insightful and non bias news! You can use the app for free, but the small price for a subscription is well worth it. Especially if it helps supports non main stream media!
  • Best news app

    Super concise and informative. Much less bias than any other news app. On the ground stories from around the world give a new and fresh view on what others are dealing with in a day to day basis. Also daily quizzes and games to help with general knowledge. 5/5.

    interesting stories told in a captivating, objective narrative that allows readers to form their own opinion rather than having the mainstream narrative imposed upon those just wanting to keep up with current events, both foreign and domestic.
  • No spin

    I used to really enjoy this app but it has become unstable and crashes all the time. I recommend getting rid of all the gaming nonsense and just do the news.
  • App does not work for me

    I love the news they report, and the fun little mini games and geo tests that is with it. Been a Roca news reader since it started on Instagram years ago. This app crashes all the time and they only recently acknowledged the crashes but they still happen. I don't like apps that crash regardless of the quality when it works
