Philip: I am not a software developer by any means, but I would be willing to be a test site, if someone else can do the coding. I currently have 4 apps on my external SD card (32 G): Firefox, Open Camera, X-plore, and WPS Office. Each one has part (but not all) of their program stored on the external card, and the remainder on the internal card--though I don't know exactly where these files are located. Plus I have all my documents & photos stored on my external card.
Attached is what the storage distribution for Firefox and WPS Office look like.
