Does quickbooks have a phone ap with quickbooks desktop version?

It's a pleasure to have you here in the Community, @sheetrocket1.

The mobile app is only available in QuickBooks Online, and not in QuickBooks Desktop.

By default QB Desktop is running in the LAN environment. You may deploy a private cloud on your premise and access your data file on your iOS or Android device. 

Can you explain this process further?

If it’s not compatible than why is the app called QuickBooks Desktop?

I can clear things out for you to ease your confusion with the QuickBooks app, @mind_fluzxx.

Each version of QuickBooks is designed to address specific business needs. Due to the system requirements needed to run the program, QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) itself can't be installed on the phone.

On the other hand, the mobile app is only available using our web-based product, the QuickBooks Online (QBO) version. With this, you can access your company anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection.

Let me know if you have other concerns about the different QuickBooks products and their features. You can drop a comment below, and I'll gladly help. Keep safe always, @mind_fluzxx.
