Hi Megan, I'm using Android Ice Cream Sandwich on my phone, but I'll tell you how I move apps to the SD card and hopefully it'll be the same for you.

Go into Settings, click on Apps and you'll get a list of all your apps. Click on an app you want to move and you'll get an information screen. There should be a button there entitled "Move to SD Card". Click on that and the app will be transferred to your SD card. If the button's greyed out, it isn't possible to move that app - some need to be on the phone's internal storage to work correctly.

You can move them back by following the same steps - this time the button will say "Move to Internal Storage" instead.

Hope this helps :)

Hi Dazzle, thanks for your reply. I followed what you said, but it just gives me the option to Uninstall the app! which isn't what I want to do.... :(

I've done a bit of research and a lot of people online are saying that you can't move apps to the SD card on Jellybean unless your phone is rooted. One person said doing a system update enabled him/her to move the apps on a phone like yours, so you could try that maybe?

Thanks Dazzle, I shall download a system update when it becomes available :)
