@Andiamo ... Andi, can you take a screenshot with your hamburger dropdown menu showing?

Tech support has solved the mystery. The option discussed is only available on Apple devices.

I took the screenshot but still trying to figure out how to post it here. Copy/paste doesn’t work. I can share via iCloud but it will show my (husband’s) full name. No wanna do.

I have Install the App option as well. I have ios if that matters.

If you click it all it does is shows you how to add this website as a shortcut icon to your home screen. So...not an "app" at all. Thankfully the mobile version is very user-friendly.

I've only had a smartphone for a little over a month, but here goes.

Using the Duck on Tor on an Android phone, I accessed CCF website.
The hamburger button on the bottom of my screen does nothing in reference to an app.

However, the 3-dot menu button on the bottom of the website part of my screen brings up a menu. In this menu, there's a slider button to enable or disable the desktop version of the CCF on my phone. The slider button turns magenta when enabled and gray when not enabled. The desktop version-not-enabled version of the website isn't an app. It's merely cell phone-friendly format and functionality, which I suspect the software used to create, maintain, and run the website, and/or the hosting site, and/or my phone software does without my seeing it happen. No real difference when not logged in, but a huge difference when logged into CCF.

The settings button inside the three-dot menu button brings up yet another menu, No app there or inside anything on this menu.

I checked GooglePlay and found no CCF app.

My conclusion is that there isn't a CCF app. However, there is a cellphone-friendly version and a desk-top friendly version, which appear to only affect display and functionality on cell phones, and maybe tablets, vs. desktops.

FWIW, an app is a separate beast than a website. Here's a detailed explanation of the differences Web Developers vs App Developers: The Ultimate Showdown

You are correct, sister. There is no CCF app per se. But following the instructions to create a CCF smartphone desk top icon gives you something almost as good.

For the life of me, for days I was totally baffled by this thread.
Couldn't find the hamburgerthingy whatsoever on my iPad.

Now the lightbulb switched on.
Lo and behold on my iPhone I found the button.

The hamburger button on the bottom of my screen

Yours it at the bottom? Mine is at the top left corner, in the same toolbar area as everything else (my avitar, bell & messages icons, etc. oh there must be an option to put the toolbar at the bottom.

It might be because mine is a Z5flip.

Had to look that up, never seen one. That is cool.

Second best of all, it was free, except for the storage upgrade (maxed it out)
First best of all, I got to fire a Board of Directors, CEO, a bunch of senior executives, and everyone who worked for them, when switching from the old phone company to the new phone company

Got CCF added as a bookmark. The browser shows a function for desktop bookmarks, but still working on how to copy a regular bookmark to desktop bookmark. I "assume" that will provide a screen shortcut to CCF.

Along the way, I found the default browser function, so chrome doesn't keep trying to get used.

Don't want to use Tor for banking, though, so I think adding the Duck to the screen where the only things are bank shortcuts and then making shortcuts in the duck, and "maybe" can make screen shortcuts that then use the Duck instead of Tor. Maybe overriding the default browser automatically for those couple places. Maybe need to add the student loan servicer and long-term care insurance to that screen.

In windows you can drag the lock in the address window to the desktop and the link will be added to the desktop.

I bookmarked this site but beyond that I know nothing, I see nothing- and I am quoting Sergeant Schultz from Hogan’s Heroes now!
