You can only transfer purchases on these storefronts to other devices which use them. For example, Apple purchases can be transferred to other Apple devices, however, we cannot transfer purchases made via iTunes/App Store to an Android device, or vice versa. This is because of the different systems that Apple and Google use to handle their purchases.
