The Mac cannot run all (most?) iPhone apps. iPhone and iPad apps are coded to operate in the iOS that those devices use.


Macs use the macOS so apps have to be coded by their developers to operate in that.


If it's not available for the Mac in the App Store or downloadable for the Mac at the developers website, then you're probably out of luck and will have to stick to using the iPhone for that app.
