The Cricut app only offers compatibility with Windows, Android, Mac, and iOS devices. As a result, you will not be able to download the app and use it on a Chromebook. However, in some Chromebook devices, you may be able to use the mobile version of the app, but you will not be able to use the complete functions and features of the app. As a result, it would be best to use the app on a compatible OS device to get the best user experience.
