Adding apps to sd card ?

Yeah, there are at least 3 ways of doing this, with different pros and cons. So a little more information would help.
Assuming you are not rooted, the "legacy" way (a "move to sd" button on the app management screen) is fairly harmless, but only moves part of the app and isn't available for all apps. The option of adopting the sd card as internal storage (Android 6 and later) has definite pros and cons (needs a fast card, card can no longer used in a card reader or different phone, storing data rather than just the more static parts of an app means the card may wear out faster).
