Features & Capabilities

SOS Alarm is the official 112 app for Sweden, providing residents and visitors with live, location-based information about nearby incidents — fires, traffic accidents, explosions, boat accidents, and people in distress in water. The app also delivers VMA public warnings and crisis-related updates, plus preventive safety guidance such as CPR instructions and essential emergency phone numbers.

To get the most from SOS Alarm you should allow notifications and grant location access (including background location). This enables timely, relevant alerts about incidents near you and guidance on the correct emergency contacts to call when you need help.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's concept and its function as an emergency alert tool. However, many report significant battery drain caused by constant background GPS use which cannot be fully disabled. The app is only available in Swedish, causing usability issues for non-native speakers. Notifications can be frequent, noisy, and sometimes uninformative or misleading. Some users experience unreliable app behavior like error messages and failure to show current events. Updates have improved functionality and battery performance for some users. Overall, the app needs optimization, language support, and improved reliability to enhance user satisfaction.

Pros

The app serves its purpose well when it works, providing alerts and useful emergency information.
The concept of the app is appreciated by users as a safety tool.
Some users reported improved performance and battery usage after updates.
The app provides timely notifications about nearby emergencies.
Users appreciate the app's potential usefulness in emergencies even if they'd prefer not to have to use it.

Cons

The app drains battery excessively, primarily due to constant background GPS/location tracking.
Users complain about the app being always on in the background with no option to disable location tracking without disabling notifications.
Lack of language options; the app is only available in Swedish, making it hard for non-Swedish speakers to navigate.
Notifications can be noisy, persistent and sometimes lead to errors or no information when opened.
The app is unreliable at times, showing errors like no internet connection or no new events despite notifications.

Recent reviews

I am in a huge traffic jam and the app shows absolutely nothing. Google maps shows red and that E20 it's closed. Been here for almost an hour and your app doesn't show any problem on E20. UPDATE: I un-installed and installed back the app. Now it works.
