iPad vs Macbook

I want to buy an iPad but there are certain apps that I know I need use but on the App Store says only on Mac. Is there a way those apps can be download on an iPad?

No. iPadOS and macOS are different operating systems, and apps must be built for the target operating system.

ipad apps on macs I have a Mac, and so does my friend. He can download iPad apps on his Mac with the "iPhone and iPad apps" option in the Mac app store, but I don't seem to have that option. I don't know why this is or what the solution is.
