## What is Skouta?

Sweden's authorities publish reliable public alerts every day, in Swedish and across several apps and websites. Skouta gathers them in one place and adds English, so everyone living in Sweden can follow what's happening nearby.  

What Skouta covers

Police incidents and safety notices
Traffic disruptions on roads and rail
Public transport disruptions
Civil emergencies and crisis information
Weather warnings, air quality and weather conditions  


Where the alerts come from 

Skouta uses official data from 9 sources, including the Swedish Police, Trafikverket, SL, Västtrafik, SMHI and the Swedish Civil Defense and Resilience Agency (MCF). 
Alerts appear within minutes of being published, and each one names its source, so you know who issued it and can check it yourself. 

Skouta translates each alert into English and leaves the content as the authority issued it. Translations are made with AI and labeled in the app.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-15

Improved location for police alerts
Removed email sign-up
Home and Alerts only show alerts from the last 24 hours
Map pins for the same location are spread out
Fixed a bug relating to selecting time for Daily Digest

### 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.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-20

No release notes.
