I tried it out and the UI is poor. Things like clicking buttons don't result in any user-visible action, like a page loading, or even something bad (but not as terrible as nothing) like the button changing contents -- a couple of seconds later the next step happens. This means clicking is click, hope for the best, wait 300ms, get bored, click again, give up. Same for the search, type in a term, the list of icons disappears, and is repopulated when matches are found -- unless no matches are found then nothing happens, you have to wait until you are pretty certain that the blank icon area means no matches and not searching.

If you click the "Pricing" link all the icons you selected and which items you liked or not go away, and you have to start almost all the way over.
I figured that would be the case so I tried to middle click the pricing page and found that that wouldn't work either
This is especially true on my slow rural satellite connection. 300ms turns into five or more seconds. I did give up, completely.
