Website as an app icon

how does one go about getting this app to their phone?

Not certain on Android.
On iPhone, in both Chrome & Edge, click the icon to “Share”.
Then scroll down to Add to Home Screen

i still am not able to get anything to work on android. no app and it wont login from my web browser on my phone

I used a different web browser and it worked. I guess it doesnt like duckduckgo

Interesting! Possibly something stripped from the core of DuckDuckGo is what prevents it from working. Wonder if the Brave browser exhibits the same behavior…presuming Brave has been ported to a mobile app.

I thought DuckDuckGo was just a search engine.

Nope. They have their own mobile and desk top app. Its also the main search engine for TOR which connects you to the dark web.
