I have an app downloaded on my phone and I would like to download it on my macbook pro. When searching through my purchased apps on my macbook I couldn’t find the app. Can anyone help me solve this?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

iOS apps for your iPhone will not run on an Intel MBP. The iOS App Store and the Mac App Store are two different stores with apps for two different OS platforms.
