Feb 26, 2018 - How to Download to an SD Card on Android. This wikiHow teaches you how to download apps and files directly to your Android's SD card. If the Move to SD card option is greyed out or if the application is not listed then the app cannot be transferred to the SD card. Some system apps cannot be moved out of the device's internal storage without reducing the device's functionality and some apps are not designed to be used outside of the device's internal storage.
Use Clean Master app which will notify you any installed app to be moved to SD card.(if app supports it).
Not sure what you're trying to do here: 'Downloading' an app to the SD card will put an .APK file in a folder on the card without installing it; on the other hand, it sounds like you're trying to INSTALL the app to the SD card, which means either using an app like 'Move to SD' to put the installed app on the SD card (freeing up internal storage); if you have Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) or higher, you don't need an additional app; it's as easy as going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> On SD Card -> tap any app that isn't checked -> tap Move to USB Storage (sic) (Some apps can't be run except from main storage, such as Google's Apps, which reside in protected storage). Once all apps that can be moved to the SD Card are moved, you'll have much more space on main storage. If, on the other hand, you're trying to download .APK files for backup or later installation, you'll have to look in your browser's Help, or, when you tap the download link, choose Download rather than Install.
If you have root access, the answer to your troubles is Link2SD ( http://www.link2sd.info ). All you need is to create a second partition on your regular SD card (using your PC), so the primary partition is where you put your music, photos and more, and the secondary partition is linked by Link2SD to act as part of the internal memory (even so, you must manage your apps from Link2SD to move them from the internal memory to the secondary partition)
I use an app called 'Move to SD' which does the job well.
Here is one way (so I read) but be careful! http://android_ij.quora.com/Installing-App-directly-to-SD-Card-for-Samsung-Galaxy-mobile-s another way would be to install the app then move it to the SD with an app manager of which there are many to choose from.

Move app in the easiest way。 Feature ******************* • Move apps to SD card • Move apps to phone internal storage • Sort app by movable, name, size and time • User can custom [Install time] [Package name] [Apk path] to show in list • Show app details: size, install time, package, apk path. • Open app • Search in market • Search in website by apk name, package name, app name ******************* If we granted root permission, we can move multi-app in one click, and can move almost all apps installed. If you get 'Sdcard share the same disk with os', means that Android os set up ***default*** SD card and system partition in one disk, So we can't move apps from system to default SD card, cause they are in the same disk.
