more The program resides in the top menu. Once clicked, a small window appears where you can either search the icons or browse by category.The selection of icons is decent. You can either drag the icons from the app window to Google Docs, Pages, graphic editors OR copy-paste them OR save to your drive. All of this is free. Developers, awesome! On the side note, I wish it occupies less memory.
