I have an el-cheapo android tablet and it has swallowed my external mini SD card (possibly I was a little forceful) - now I can't see how to get into the tablet but the USB socket works fine - is there any way to use a USB Flash stick to work the same as the miniSD - Total beginner here folks.:rolleyes:

Yes. They operate identically.
But a stick..., well... sticks out!
 
I can see umpteen instructions on how to move apps to an external SD card - how about moving to an external USB storage.

There are some answers to this question on the net saying "You can do it." but I can't seem to find instruction on how ?:D

Should be the same.
Afaik an external SD card = flash memory, a.k.a. SSD = external USB storage. Only the connector, USB, is different.
However, when on the USB volume the app is stored. I don't expect it to be able to run from there (haven't tried) like it can from the SD card.
