Hi, I moved many apps to the SD card.

Then my phone crashed, I just got it back, it has been repaired and initialized...

How to I get the apps I moved on the SD Cards back ?

@JuanDupont

You will have to redownload the apps.

thanks for the anwser

And If I Do I'll get back the info saved on the SD card ?

I thought moving to the SD card would be a protection in case of a phone failure.

Looks like it isn't... So the only reason to move a app to the SD card is to save some phone memory ?

@JuanDupont

Correct me if I'm wrong, the app data will remain on the Internal storage.

Thanks again, I'm not sure I'm clear (sorry about my english), so I'll try to describe better my problem.

I once moved many apps from the phone to a SD card.

My phone add a factory reset

I would like to get back the app that where stored to the SD card back on the same phone which was used to save the apps.

Is it possible ?

If I understand your anwsers, it is not possible.
