When you change the SD card to work for apps, etc., you actually make the card "Internal" storage, rather than the typical "External" it is normally.
That can make it a bit confusing when you are checking the apps to see where they are. Now, it is also possible that the apps are on the true "Internal" storage rather than the card. Unless you set up the card to be "Internal" you won't be able to run apps from it. All other files can move over to the SD card, but apps take specific changes to work from a card.

NOTE: Please be sure you start with a blank SD card. It needs to be blank because when the card is converted to "Internal" storage, it will be formatted...
