Skouta
One app for daily official alerts in Sweden, in EN and SV
Skouta translates Swedish alerts from official sources, including police, public transport, traffic, weather and emergency notices, into English in real time. Everyone living in Sweden, not just Swedish speakers, can finally understand what local authorities are saying. Get all the updates in one app instead of loading your phone with one for each type. Free to use, with a Premium plan that covers up to 5 locations, unlocks advanced filtering and delivers an early-morning Daily Digest.
Hi Product Hunt! We're the team behind Skouta 👋
We built this app because we kept getting fire alerts we couldn't understand. The local, official app that sent them had no English version, and we couldn't even copy the text to translate it ourselves. We ended up retyping each alert by hand into Google Translate just to find out if we needed to worry.
Skouta translates official Swedish alerts from the police, fire department, traffic authorities, weather institute and more into English in real time. It pulls every alert type into one app instead of you juggling several government sources, and works for you whether or not you speak Swedish.
What it does:
* Translates alerts from official sources as they come in
* Displays them on an interactive map of the entire country, so you can be both hyperlocal and exploratory
* Sends push notifications for critical alerts (default) and any other alerts you activate
* Sends a Daily Digest so you don't miss what happened overnight
* Works in English and Swedish
Skouta is currently available on iOS, with an Android launch expected in the very near future.
Our app is brand new, so we'd really appreciate any feedback. We'd love your opinion, especially if you've dealt with this exact problem while living or traveling abroad.
Thanks for your time and for checking us out 🙏
