New “Androiders” face problems of “Low on space! Device/Phone storage space is getting low.”  Basically android system installs all your apps on phone memory itself which is limited only as per phone to phone so there are limitations to install apps on phone memory. And when you exclude this space you start getting such error messages and sometime system doesn’t allow installing new apps due to low space. In such cases you can move some apps to SD card but it becomes cumbersome to install and then go to setting-application menu and move your app to SD card by sneaking into each and every app.

        

So here you got the APP2SD app to work for you with the rest of your time. App2SD simply determines whether your new app can be moved to SD card or not and if it’s movable then it moves it to the SD card on its own.

        

It’s a totally time and energy saver app. Once you have installed there’s no need to check for whether app is movable to SD card or not. There are lots of such kinds of apps present in Google Play store.
