## What is Skouta?

Public alerts in Sweden are published in Swedish. Police incidents, weather warnings, transport disruptions, emergency notices – all of it, in Swedish only.
Skouta changes that. You get the same official alerts every Swedish speaker gets, in English and Swedish, the moment they're published. Each one is attributed to the authority that issued it.

What Skouta covers
- Police incidents and safety notices
- Weather warnings – wind, snow, flooding and more
- Transport and traffic disruptions across rail, road and public transit
- Civil emergencies and crisis information
- Air quality rating and weather conditions

Everything comes from nine official Swedish sources – the Police, SMHI, Trafikverket, SL, the Civil Defense and Resilience Agency and more. Every alert names its original Swedish source, so you always know who issued it and can check it yourself. We translate, we never editorialize.

Track what matters to you
- Follow your city for free – every category, always
- Save up to 5 places: home, work, your summer house or other locations you care about
- Turn on the Daily Digest and start each morning already knowing what happened overnight

Free and Premium

In the language you prefer
Read every alert in English or Swedish. The same information, made accessible.

Note: Skouta centralizes, organizes and translates public information from official sources. It is not affiliated with any Swedish authority. For emergencies, always call 112.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-02

Swedish, proper Swedish

If you use Skouta in Swedish, alerts appear faster in their original Swedish, along with updated labels for categories, alert levels, dates and your Daily Digest. This improves a previous process which routed content through English first.

Map view made easier to read

Incidents are now grouped together in a single, numbered marker per location. Tap it to zoom in and they separate. This makes the map easier to use, faster to load and lighter on memory load.

Notifications management without leaving the app

If you switched off your notifications, the Notifications screen now says so and takes you straight to where you can turn them back on. No more missing out on alerts without knowing.

Outdoor conditions made tidier
Warnings about fire risk and water shortage now show up on individual rows - and only if they're still active. This fixes a previous issue where you could still see expired alerts.

Other goodies in this update:

• City search now covers Sweden only, so you don't get lost in locations Skouta doesn't reach...yet. 
• Optional address fields have clearer wording, so you know exactly what they are and what happens to addresses you add.
• The About screen shows the correct app version – no more bingo lotto here.
• The Subscription screen no longer offers the option to restore an active subscription – that must have been confusing for a while.
• Small visual details look better now – nothing major but craft is all about the details.
