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?

    They are far from independent unbiased news. They are like the rest, wolves in sheep clothing.
  • Was great. Now a money grab

    I loved Roca and used it daily. Now almost every feature is a push to grab a premium membership. App deleted
  • Subscription Only Content ruins RocaNews

    I was an avid reader of RocaNews, however, they have recently strayed away from what they provided us for so many years. The app is now entirely monetized and I cannot recommend this app to anyone anymore. I will change my review once the content becomes free with Ads to the public.
  • Pay to play

    Worth noting that introduction of “premium membership” is access to all news stories and the polls/trivia/etc.
  • Too expensive

    I loved this app but I seriously can’t afford to pay for it even if it’s a good news source. It’s just beyond frustrating and sad to see everything these days going to paid subscription. Y’all must think we have money growing on our trees. I can’t follow this trend. I have now delete this app.
  • If everyone read unbiased news like Roca’s we could all get along and work together

    I wish everyone would get their news from Roca. Finally an unbiased source that lets us use our own brains vs brainwashing. Maybe, if we we’re all given the truth like this there wouldn’t be so much fighting and instead more understanding and working together for everyone’s benefit! I can’t say enough about Roca- amazing job guys👏 I actually look forward to reading your news every single day- and the interactive format is pretty cool.
  • Great Source of News

    Great source of news to put your trust in. Keeps me informed without making me feel like the sky is falling, lets me make interpretations on my own. The app is easy to navigate and incentivizes you to keep reading, keep being in the know about current events. It’s what news should be!
  • Interesting news

    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!

    This app is really stupid.
  • Worth the money

    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!
