how do i see apps on sd card in different divice

I saved apps I wanted to move to a tablet from my phone but when I put the SD card into the tablet it says no applications when I go to the SD card. I want to have these apps on my tablet and not my phone. What do I do?

It is impossible to move apps fully to SD card!

You would need to download apps direct to the tablet.

Apps "moved" to an sd card only move portions of that app, and links to each portion are created on the sd card for the app on the device to find them.

There are many other reasons this would never work.

If you wanted to use the sd card for other things, you will need to "move" each entire app back to the original device before wiping; or you could just download the app again but would lose what little data was stored on the device.

Is AC Questions a spam catcher or something? Why are so many add questions being posted all at once?

How do you mean?

Some new members repeating another post at the end of a thread or being nonsensical just to build up posts?

Some posters repeating and bumping their posts before anyone that understands can reply?

New questions / threads being duplicated/triplicated?
That's a technical issue, and a lack of information layed out for a new 'visitor'.

A crazy ex 54 year old Irishman pretending to know what he's talking about, constantly?
That's a medication issue.

Some threads with good answers are ruined by something daft being added at the end, or by me.

I don't like seeing it more lately though.

You can't catch everything I guess.
