I used to play on both an android tablet and iPhone. Is there a way to restore purchases from the games I bought on Android to my iPhone. Previously I didn’t have enough memory but now I do to have all games on one device. This was before the omnibus apps so maybe there’s already a topic on this?

You can’t get a game for free on an Apple device if you paid Google to get it, or vice versa. See here for an explanation: [Why are games only accessible on the platform they were purchased on?](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/why-are-games-only-accessible-on-the-platform-they-were-purchased-on/37007/17)

curious whether there’s an exception for games purchased in one of the omnibus apps and the website? That is, if I purchased games in the ios app, can I play them on the website? Or if I purchase on the website, or on steam, can I play in the app?

I had bought my games in the Google store. I sent the receipts to the email in the [Thread](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/purchase-transfers/38767) and I can play all the games I bought in the Website when I am logged in. Easy and fast.

How do you send receipts? Screen shots of itunes pages, screen shots of the library page in the app, something else?

Yup. Take a screenshot and then send it to support email via attachments.
