Opera News, the stand alone news app developed by Opera, has broken the 1 million download milestone in less than four weeks since its release. The app, which provides users with easy access to their favourite news and entertainment content, has also been ranked number one in Ghana and has become the news app of choice in the country.
“Opera News is already on track to become the number one news and video app in Africa,” said Jørgen Arnesen, Global Head of Marketing and Distribution at Opera. “Over the coming year, the way people consume news and videos will change completely. We are proud to lead this transformation with Opera News.”
Back in December 2017, the Norwegian software developer Opera, known for its popular browsers for PCs and mobile devices used by hundreds of millions of users worldwide, announced its “Africa First” strategy, which aims to implement new internet solutions on the African continent before anywhere else in the world.
“We are thrilled to see more than a million downloads of the app and that we rank above other apps like Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger in Ghana,” said Arnesen. “This milestone is a testimony to our commitment to deliver high end tech products to Africa first.”
