That depends on what you mean by "store". You can place the apk file that is the Android program on an external card and store a copy there. You cannot run the program from the card on a stock android device. You must have a rooted device and do the things I mentioned earlier in the thread.

I want to store free, no-ads apps on an external card as a backup because if they changed their mind and start putting ads on the apps, I still have the copy without ads. This will be useful when I buy a new device.
I stash copies of stuff like that on my Google Drive. I have the Drive app on my device, and when I access the copy on my Drive, it downloads and offers to install it.
