They won't show on the home screens unless you add a shortcut. You need to click on the apps symbol which should be at the bottom of the home screen (looks like a bunch of squares or dots).

If you still can't see them when you've done that then sometimes there is a tab on the next screen that comes up (at the top) which shows either apps or widgets and you obviously need to select the apps tab.

What device is it as this would help? A lot of manufacturers put there own UI/Skin over the top of the Android system to make it look slightly different.

In all seriousness, have you tried turning it off and on again?
