A small box will pop up. Press Install and you are done.
You already have it. You are reading this inside the app right now. Nothing else to do.

When you are done

Look for this icon

On your home screen, Dock, or Start menu. Open it from there from now on. It is the same site with everything the browser version has.

Quick questions

Is it a real app? It is the website saved to your device with its own icon. There is nothing in the App Store or Play Store, and nothing to update.
Does it cost anything or need an account? No and no.
Will my saved rooms carry over? On Android, Windows, and Mac, yes. On iPhone the app keeps its own list, so star your rooms again inside the app once.
How do I remove it? The same way as any app. Hold the icon and delete it on a phone, or uninstall it from the Start menu or drag it out of the Dock on a computer.
