TabletsHi:
I'm the proud owner of a 32 GB A8 tablet. Love it, runs my magazines much better than my iPad.
BUT, I can see that I'll run out of memory soon enough. I've got a 32 GB SD card installed, but none of the apps that use memory (NYTimes, Economist, Spotify, etc) allow for storage of files on the SD card, and you can't format the SD as internal.
If there's no way around this, I'll pretty soon have a maxed out device with a useless SD card.
Am I missing something?
Solved! Go to Solution.

TabletsOK, too bad, thanks for the reply. The main reason I bought the tablet was because none of the magazines I subscribe to function at all well on my iPad, and neither my iPads nor my Pixel phones play all that well with my TV's Chromecast. The A8 does all these things beautifully and the price was right (turns out for a good reason!), so I'll get by by not overloading it with apps and periodically flushing the apps' storages.
Greatly appreciated!

TabletsBasically, the comment I made that is the solution you are accepting, click the three dots just to the right of the name.

Tablets@userella "I thought SD cards enhance tablets to make them run faster and more efficient."
No, the SD cards just provide external storage.

Send bug reports/feature requests to each of the app developers. A few versions ago Google changed the way SD cards were accessed for privacy/ Security reasons. There are simple code changes the developers can make to enable this. If they refuse then they, the app developers, don't want their app to have that feature.
