Denmark News in English

Denmark's news in English, and what it means for you: from Copenhagen to the Faroe Islands and Greenland. NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: Denmark News is independent. It does not represent the Government of Denmark, the Danish Royal House, the Folketing or any government agency, and is not affiliated with them. Every source is listed under SOURCES. NEWS By topic (politics, expat & living, economy, climate & energy, crime, health, education & science, world & defence, culture & food, football, handball, cycling, tennis & badminton, other sport, travel) and by place, with paywalled stories marked. A notification at most once a day for what you follow, never at night. Tap a term under a headline (SU, overenskomst, MitID) to see what it means. TODAY For your place: DMI's weather warnings, with alerts; the weather and the next two hours' rain; the electricity spot price now, today's and tomorrow's cheapest and dearest hours, and the grid's CO2, with an alert when tomorrow's prices are out; the krone against your currency; the next long weekend. CHRISTIANSBORG Whether the Folketing sits today, the bills moving through it, and the latest votes with how each party voted. The Folketing writes in Danish: its titles and summaries are shown in Danish, and a switch translates them to English on your phone (machine translation after a one-time language download, so it may be wrong). CALENDAR AND LEARN Public holidays, flag days, tax dates and deadlines, child benefit, school breaks and clock changes, with reminders. A Danish phrase a day, and "Denmark explained": 110 terms, from SU and MitID to overenskomst and feriepenge.

Alerts come minutes after the source issues them: in an emergency call 112. The electricity price is the market's spot price, before VAT, taxes and grid fees, so your bill is higher. Bill titles and summaries are in Danish; the optional translation is a machine's. Free, with a single banner ad. A one-time purchase removes it.
