I would definitely not buy it if it didn't. I have tons of music on my SD card that would take up too much space on the phone. I ran into this problem with the Samsung Alpha I use to own.
I have the LG Stylo 2 with Boost Mobile. I was having the same problem with my phone, not being able to move my apps to the SD card. I updated to the Nougat 7.0 OS about a week ago. I'm able to move my apps to my SD card now with no issues so far.
