Questions about moving to Denmark/Århus (self.aarhus)

I'm going to move to (probably) Århus beginning of January, and I got a few question specifically about the city and live in Denmark in general. If there is a better community for stuff like this let me know!

Live in Denmark

I probably have my apartment secured but are there general things to look out for?
Are there any must-have-apps for daily live? I already found the DSB app, rejskort and rejsplanen app, but is there for example something for national/local alerts (Germany and Finland have that for example).
I already have one specific question: why does DSB offer both to check in and out for a trip and tickets for a specific route?
Any other things I might not be aware of? I already lived other Scandinavian countries, so I don't expect much if a culture shock.

Live in Århus

I'll be trying to join a pen&paper group. Any advice where to go looking?
Any areas to avoid?
Any hidden gems? Might be a favorite café, bar, beach etc.
Any other useful things?

Thanks for the very detailed answer! I actually just arrived in town, and given the weather, do you have any suggestions where to get a coffee and a cozy place to kill some time? If you would also have a suggestion for food in the center (both sit down and takeaway are fine for me) that would be perfect.

If you don't hava a lot of luggage with you, I recommend that you stroll down to 'Kristian F Møller' - it's a bookstore with an ok selection of Danish and English books - and then walk a bit further down to Latinerkvarteret (the Latin quarter) where there are many cosy little places. La Cabra is a good place for (expensive but excellent) coffee. But you can find many nice little places in that area.

There's also Løves bog- og vincafé - it's a bit further. Salling - a local department store - also has a nice café called Salling Rooftop.

For food - if you want it not too expensive - I'd say you go to the Aarhus Street Food market, which is just downhill from the train station towards the bus station. If you're looking for something more fancy try Juliette in Jægergårdsgade - or one of the Burger Boom places. Aarhus has some excellent restaurants, but not sure which ones are open for lunch. Maybe Mefisto?

Edit:

If you're in the mood for ramen try Gaijin Ramen - I've also heard good things about Takumi but I haven't tried it.
