Allow app to be moved to SD card #25

Currently this is not permitted.

Samsung Prime Galaxy Android 5.1.1

I don't think that this is important. The app only uses very little data and the SD card should be used for bulk data (videos, music, images, etc.) rather than applications.

It's probably better to get rid of unused apps.

However, making it moveable should be simple as changing a single entry in the app manifest: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/install-location.html

The SD card is not just for bulk data ... what happens when all the internal memory is used up? I have moved much more complex apps (such as Firefox) to the SD card and they function just fine. This is a poor design decision not to allow this app to be moved to the SD card.

@mdh0312 since this app makes use of the android.app.AlarmManager for daily notifications, moving to SD card might break those notifications. So when changing the android:installLocation to auto, it needs lots of additional testing.
