I have purchased the multiple games through the the app store and have the standalone apps for I’ve purchased psy high one and two on my phone seperately. I can’t play them through the app so is it possible better from now on to inky buy through the cog app?

You can add the Games through the omnibus App by having the game installed and then clicking on restore purchases, sometimes it works directely sometimes it tells you to start the standalone App. If both ways do not work you can always send in the receipt of your purchase.
Worked for most games I bought as a standalone app

It’s more entirely up to you how you prefer to have your games organised. The game format once you open them is the same. If you only download games as needed and play them, then remove from the phone, individual is fine. If you’d prefer to have them all together in one place, buy via the app

The pros of downloading the individual app, is that you can play the game off-line. With the omnibus app, you can have all your games in one place. However, each game will need to be downloaded first before you can play them off-line. If you are going to play again for the first time using the omnibus app, you need to have an Internet connection ready before tapping the play button. Other than that, it’s just a matter of organising.
On android you can actually make a folder on one of your home screens to keep all your downloaded games together (I’m guessing most people know this but just in case 
).
I used to buy games through the app store but I switched to Steam due to how cheap they are compared to the app store. If you live outside of the US and want to save up then maybe get them on the omnibus since it updates automatically when the authors push through a patch.
I’d like to, steam seems to sometimes give better rates than the app store if you’re not in the US, but not all HG’s are released there 
Still, good option for some games.

On iOS you can’t get the individual games anymore, at least the new ones.
If you buy directly from the Choice of Games website, does it allow you to redeem a copy on Steam for free? I know you can do it other way around (Steam copy → unlock full version online), so I’ve been wondering about this.
Asking because Steam is a convenient platform for me, the prices are cheaper in my region and I like to have a place to show off achievements. But I know Steam takes a hefty 30% cut from every purchase so I would prefer to give the money to support the author(s).
No, unfortunately that’s not possible.
However, there’s a way to support authors while still playing some of your games on Steam: any new releases that interest you, buy them on Steam during the first week. Strong first-week Steam sales make for greater success in the long run. (And before they come out, add them to your wish list - it helps increase a forthcoming game’s visibility.)
Thank you! I had no idea about the first week thing so that’s good to know.
You’re welcome.
