Confusing space problem between internal and SD card

So... Hello everyone, I have simple (in theory) question.

I have a Z3C phone for a while now and I realize that the memory get quickly filed up. So i got a 16 GB SD card that went into the slot (and forcefully stuck because the sd card didn't want to stay but it's working) and transfered everything I have. But here it's becoming confusing. Let me explain :

Internal storage says 14,87 GB / 16, 10,34 taken by apps. But when I goes into on of my App I can see this :

Total : 2,04 GB

App on device : 42,59 MB

App on SD card : 1,42 GB

Data on device : 244 KB

Data on SD card : 595 MB

So if I'm reading this correctly, 1,42 GB + 595 MB should be in the SD card. Yet, when I look at my SD card, it says that only 1,08 GB is taken. And nothing to transfer.

Is this normal? Shouldn't I have like at least nearly 2 GB taken by that app alone on the SD card? Also as a side note, I have seen the XA1 not too expensive, would it be a good choice to take or try for better? (since it's mostly for gaming). I don't really have the wish to change phone now, despite a few flaws (top speaker nearly silent, making difficult to hear people in call, especially if there is a lot of noise, SD card unable to stay in its slot (stuck so it won't move. And it has been repaired once because before, I couldn't even make it work)) because well... it's working so if I can avoid spending for a new phone where the current one still works..

Thanks in advance and I hope we can resolve this little issue.
