About this app

The SOS Alarm 112 app provides safety and reassurance to everyone living in or visiting Sweden.

With the app, you get:

• Real-time information about incidents nearby: fires, traffic accidents, explosions, boat accidents, and people in distress in water.
• Important public announcements (VMA) and other crisis-related updates.
• Preventive knowledge about safety and security, such as CPR and essential phone numbers.
• Guidance to help you call the right phone number when you need help.

To fully use all the app’s features, you need to:

• Allow notifications.
• Allow location access and consent to the app collecting location data in the background, even when the app is closed or not in use, so it can provide relevant information about nearby incidents.

Ratings and reviews

Latest update is really bad. It forces user to share location and info, and to bave location on at all time. Not just in the app. I do not want my location on, at all time. Also cannot use while battery optimisation is on. Before, this was not needed. Still no English option. Uninstalled

Very good idea, really badly made. Battery hog for no good reason (approximate location is available without using GPS). Constant notification that its using GPS that can't be turned off without blocking notifications from the app. "Needs" to use loud alarm in silent mode (no good information when or why). Will uninstall again. Maybe try a beta test before releasing something that will be uninstalled at once?

A good app... When it works, which it rarely does. Repeated notifications about events/information but as soon as I click the notification to open the app it shows "no new events" and when refreshing it directly displays the error message "no Internet connection". Having the app this unreliable, especially during a pandemic, is just a source of anxiety as opposed to a feeling of safety. It needs to be fixed.
