What users say

Ratings are strong (Trustpilot 5/5, G2 praise for ease of use), but Reddit threads and app reviews flag vague licensing, paywalled 'free' icons, and app limitations.

“In reality, you don't own anything about any icon you download, even as a premium member. Their rules are very vague”
Reddit, r/gamedev
“Flaticon advertises thousands of free vector icons (svg), but they can only be downloaded by premium members”
Reddit, r/assholedesign
“A portion of Flaticon's icons are Premium-only. But in this app, any icons that are Premium AREN'T EVEN DISPLAYED.”
Apple App Store review
