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? News should be a two-way street. Roca Nation is a community. Contact us anytime with the “Talk to Roca” button in the app Terms of Use: https://www.rocanews.com/terms

    Been with roca since they launched and have been a big fan of their work. This review is of their app, not the news. The app has become completely unusable now due to excessive crashing. Haven’t been able to open the app for weeks now as it crashes everytime

    I really enjoy this app as in this world of biased and slanted news outlets they truly are an unbiased news source. However, recently this app has been crashing quite often and I have been unable to even open. Please fix!!
  • Love the news, hate the app

    I love yall and your coverage, but your app needs some serious work. It’s the glitchiest app on my phone. It won’t let me in half the week, the other half it lets me in but kicks me out at some point. Just disappears right from my screen. That’s while keeping it and my phone up to date too.
  • Excellent News Source

    The only reason I didn’t give Roca 5 stars is because it is not available on Android devices. Excellent unbiased news source

    This is my favorite app on my phone but many days it is unusable. I’m not sure why, but tapping on certain stories causes the app to crash.

    I’ve only read one story, but I can already tell that you guys are making a big effort to truly be unbiased. I will absolutely be using this app every day. I truly believe that this will benefit my mental health because I’m so tired of constantly feeling gaslit by media organizations.
  • Constant app crashes

    Several times a week when trying to read stories in the app, it crashes. When I try to read another story, besides the previous story that caused the crash, it’ll crash and lock up my app again. What are you doing to resolve this permanently? Besides the app stability, I like to content.

    And it’s not even close. Im very excited to read unbiased reporting for a change. Don’t listen to anyone who says they lean one way or another, just because that person doesn’t like the facts presented. This is real journalism.
