SD Micro Storage

Trying to put apps on micro SD card. Is there a way to work around. LGG3 Verizon. Internal memory full. Very few apps allow storage on memory cards.

SD cards are better for music, pics, docs, etc. Not good practice to have apps on the card.

If the software has been designed to allow apps (or part of them) onto an SD card to free up internal space, why is it bad practice to do so?

In general a lot of apps - not all by any means - but a lot, will take longer to pull up. Especially the ones with more settings associated with them.

Fair enough, but I'm not sure it's 'bad practice'. It may be more inefficient, but if you're stuck on 8 or 16gb internal, you can at least move the less critical or intensive stuff to the SD and free up some phone space.

Sure, sure, no question but it should be pics, music and docs first that gets moved to the card. THEN the apps if still necessary.

Yep - not sure the OP was arguing that, but OK.

Hope to see you around, man.

Cards can also become corrupted or the phone may simply stop reading what's on the card. I've had a 128GB Samsung card simply stop being read by my phone and luckily, I had backed everything up on the card so I just had to reformat the card and then restore everything back onto it.
