Ordboksappen reflects the content of the Swedish Dictionary published by the Swedish Academy, which came out in print in 2009. The dictionary provides a detailed description of the general vocabulary of modern Swedish. The emphasis is on the meaning of words and use in combination with historical data.

• etymologies of approximately 28 000 words and meanings
• famous quotes pertaining to individual articles

The app allows you to search the Order's basic forms and in a wide range of curved shapes. Thanks to a spelling help, you will find up to a dictionary words, even if you are not sure how it's spelled. You can search for parts of dictionary words. It is also possible to search the multi-word expressions, for example, throw in the towel ('surrender').
