Ever since using this app I’ve noticed I can speak to news topics I would otherwise shrug off and go “eh I think I saw a tweet about that on Twitter…” and instead have a solid idea about what’s going on. Each article is an easily digestible length that gives the needed info, but not too much that I can’t retain it all.
I also love the gameification style of the app that encourages me to care about current events. I enjoy the daily games that are engaging and interesting. The word-to-picture ratio also really helps present the info in a non-overwhelming way, especially for someone like me who typically thinks the news is super boring lol.
I followed Roca on IG for at least a year before this app came out, and I find I’m reading the app more consistently since the IG feed decided for me whether I’d see Roca that day or not. This is definitely my favorite news app, and one of my overall favorite apps.
I think all the older people are giving this app a bad review. But they are almost on their way out so whatever. I am really enjoying the app. One of the things I really like is that they ask questions to see if you know about a subject and if enough people do not they inform you the next day. It’s pretty cool I’ve learned a lot of things in addition to the news. Knowing how things works helps you better understand the news. If you want to complain about something annoying go try Windows 11 :P
I ABSOLUTELY HATE reading the news. I used to mostly get my information from memes on the internet and then I ask my husband about it. I started following Roca on Instagram and enjoyed that they really only gave the important information. A lot of news outlets claim to have “unbiased opinions” but as we all know, that is not accurate. Roca is unbiased and only states the facts and does not care if it hurts anyone’s image in the process. Honestly that is really what we need when it comes to news. I hate reading the news a little less now, thanks to these guys. You are doing amazing and I really hope some other outlets take some pointers away!
Want this company to do well, they could change the world. But a gamified app with so much unnecessary fluff and so little news means this app will just never go mainstream. I can’t recommend it to anyone. I get the devs want to make it fun, but holding-to-finish a story and endless pop ups about leveling up are not what I want in a news app. People like me want quick, accessible, and non-biased news. This app only delivers the last of these three. All they had to do was put their IG content into a dedicated app! Why couldn’t they just do that and then test out gamification concepts until they figured out what works and what doesn’t. This group needs leadership from an experienced software Product Manager….
I’ve never left a review for an app before, and I have to say this is one of the highlights of my day when I open this app and see news stories that matter, provide an unbiased standpoint, and always have that lighthearted/interesting story sprinkled in. I’ve been following Roca on Instagram since nearly the beginning and I’ve always looked forward to what these guys have to bring each week. This app is the most intuitive, interactive, and fresh take I’ve ever seen from the news. Other news outlets, media conglomerates, and big news corporations could and should take some notes!
Does anyone really enjoy reading the news? Not really. However, roca makes it so much fun. This app is more like a game than a news app, but it’s great. First of all, it’s completely unbiased. It gives you the essentials of every news story without adding any opinion or bias. The only problem with this is the stories are pretty bare bones, you’re not gonna get any in depth news with this, but I think for most people that’ll be a good thing. All the stories tell you what you need to know about the situation. On top of that, however, there’s s leveling up system, like a game, that you can win awards for and several news games, like trivia and some others, that make reading the news fun. All in all, it’s a great app, and the developers should be really proud of what their building here.
This app has literally been a lifesaver. It’s interactive approach to words, reporting interesting, and engaging stories from around the world is absolutely insane. I can’t help but notice the insane amount of effort and time that it took for these developers and writers to make this app come to life. I’ve been following them on Instagram for more than a year, and I can’t say without a doubt in my mind that downloading this app was the best assistant possible. As they have spoken pretty clearly on Instagram social media, heavily suppresses information that does not benefit them or are somewhat controversial. With this application, you can go ahead and forget about suppression it and now that you’re gonna get real news from real sources with no Baez whatsoever. I need a day and age that we are living I believe that that is a luxury.
Roca News is the BEST news app you can get. I used to avoid the news at all costs, which made me feel guilty and uninformed, but I decided that was better than trying to be manipulated by big news companies and their agendas. When I was introduced to Roca, I was so relieved to find a news app that had actual NEWS! No opinions, no bias, just the facts. And it’s interesting too! Roca has become part of my daily routine and I learn so much from them. A quick 10 minutes every morning and I feel informed, educated, up to date, and find the news enjoyable for once! I seriously cant recommend this app more. It’s everything you’re looking for in a news app and nothing you’re not. If you’re thinking about getting it, get it!! You will not regret it. Come ride the wave 🌊
The Roca App, and the Roca team for years, has found a way to make consuming the news quick, fun, and neutral-biased. It cuts out the opinion so it can get straight to the action. While it doesn’t have many stories currently (8 main stories a day), each story feels carefully written, showing both good and bad news.
The app itself feels like a game or a social media sight, where I compete with other readers to see how much I remember the news. As well, there are dedicated places for opinions on poll and discussion tabs, so I still feel like my voice can be heard.
It’s an incredible experience that can only keep growing, run by people I feel genuinely “get” me
We’re all aware (whether you admit it or not) that internet censorship is a thing. It creates echo chambers, partisanship, radicalization of the consumer, and overt control of information. RocaNews makes a fair and transparent attempt at promoting news in the most nonpartisan/bipartisan manner while only reporting the facts. No speculations, no fearmongering, and no spamming notifications of headlines that makes me want to worry about life. My only nitpick is the gamified nature, since I’m a fan of getting the news and getting it straight, but even then I find myself retaining more information on stuff I normally would not care for which is a smart way to increase media literacy. 5 out of 5 stars, and can’t wait for greater things out of RocaNews.
