    it depends on android OS version and how the applications are compiled but you can have a check on
    settings/Apps
    tap the application you want to move and check if there's a Move to SD or something similar to tap (be aware that only a portion of the application will be moved)

    There is no facility to move apps to SD card that i can find . Had the tablet 6 months and almost out of memory already .

    you can check also on settings/storage
    and see if you can select the SD as main storage

    if not...no other ways, sorry

    Yeah, it makes it a lot easier on Google to block apps running from an SD card, but can make it tougher on the user. Verify that you don't just have an app that's sucking up storage with log or debug files by clearing their data, and move any data files (like music and movies) to the SD card if there are any still in system storage.
