Link2SD

Link2SD is a powerful file and app management platform for Android phones and tablets.

Link2SD is one of the most sophisticated and feature-rich file and app managers available for Android. The amount of useful features this app offers is very impressive and probably makes it impossible to truly do the app justice in a review of this size. This is an Android 2.0+ app, which means that it only requires OS 2.0 and supports practically all Android smartphones and tablets still in use.

This apps gives you a lot of options and features that most file/app managers don’t. One way it does this is by creating a partition on an SD card that your device will treat as local storage. This lets you, for instance, install to a memory card an app that wouldn’t otherwise support that.

You can also use the app to link external data to an internal app and vice versa. An auto cache clear service helps save storage space by ensuring caches don’t grow overly large. The app can force-move apps as well as set a default install location beyond what’s normally allowed. There’s a reboot widget that lets you reboot with one click, and a reboot manager allows hot reboots and reboot recoveries.

Link2SD is available in both a free and paid version. The free version is ad-supported, but most users will agree that the ads aren’t obnoxious. The upgrade removes the ads and also adds features. The additional features are for advanced users for the most part, and most users won’t need them. However, if you enjoy the app and use it often, it’s probably worth upgrading anyway.
