SD Card Question

I bought an SD Card for my Moto G 2nd Gen. I've mounted it and formatted it. But for some reason, when I go into Settings>Apps and the select an app, it doesn't give me the option to "move to SD Card". It only gives me two options - Uninstall or Force Stop.

Can anyone help me with what to do?

    Not all Apps allow you to move to SD card, and you need to format the SD card as Internal Storage, not the other option. Note that this permanently ties the card to that phone as per the warning.

    I know not all apps allow you to move to SD Card but none of the apps are allowing me to. I'm pretty sure I did format as internal storage.

    If you formatted it as internal then it wont show as an SD will it? It should seamlessly fill the internal and carry onto the SD.
