Check the app manifest using an app like Manifest Viewer and search for android:installLocation

If it is declared as internalOnly then the app cannot be moved to external SD (unless root methods / apps are used)

If this attribute is not declared, your application will be installed on the internal storage only and it cannot be moved to the external storage.

android:installLocation attribute	Can app be moved to External SD ?
Internal Only	NO
Not declared	NO
`auto` or `prefer external`	Yes

Note: This is for unrooted devices
