RocaNews: Unbiased & fun news

Beta was amazing but now has way too much junk and subscriptions

Useless

The app operates under a guise of delivering news but falls significantly short of journalistic integrity. My experience has revealed a troubling pattern of russian propaganda and a consistent spread of misinformation. The app fails to maintain objectivity, often presenting unverified or blatantly false information as fact.

Very sad to see what has become of Roca. They went from an actual unbiased news outlet to an outlet that doesn’t even try to hide their bias anymore. Seeing more and more posts of roca where they literally *defend* far right parties and ideology. Very quick to report on any news that will stir heat and paint Muslims/Arabs in a bad light but actively chooses not to post them being bombed. Usually Roca posts the smallest news. Yet they actively chose not to post about Israel bombing a refugee camp/neighborhood and then blaming the civilians for being there. In a recent post, Roca has made comments about the far right party AfD. In that post they literally say that AfD supporter are not what they expected and the stereotype is wrong. They base this as a fact because that they met 2 AfD supporters who spoke English. Note: this is their so claimed "unbiased news" while literally incorporating their personals beliefs and opinions in their article. Very disappointed in what Roca has become.

Love the insta account. The app is a different. It takes too many clicks to go through news. What I like about the insta account isn’t available in the app.

Love the news on instagram - it’s well written, provides enough context and is very snackable/fast to read. Really appreciate that! The app on the other hand has a gamification concept that I find bizarre and a bit infantile. Holding buttons just to see fireworks and move onto another news, slow interface and bad graphical design from the 90s is does not add any value and makes me continue reading on instagram… Love the news though. Please keep the app simple ;)

I’m stoked there is now an app. Let me just say that I appreciate your guys’ work a lot! Thank you! For the app: I really don’t care for all the game aspects. Too me it seems to slow down my reading experience. Maybe this is something that could be enabled/ disabled for those who like it and those who don’t. Something that especially bothers me right now: I don’t see why there need to be extra clicks for ‘read now’ and especially the lengthy ‘hold to complete’. These make me prefer reading roca on instagram, where I can just scroll and swipe. Same thing with the mid-slide quizzes. I don’t really care for those too much and wish they were optional. Maybe in the future there could be an overall slimmed down version without all those gimmicks and more text per slide?

I heavily dislike the XP and streak stuff, I’m here for news

I absolutely love the game factor but I would like too have some more news. I guess that what it’s all about but maybe in the future you could let us like pic topics we want news about but these news are still at your standards but if not still great app. I also absolutely love the Greek mythology scheme. Exited to be in the app every day

News finally done right, with interesting points and all facts. Your mind will take some time getting use to not being led to an opinion but it’s worth the journey to finally making your own.
