Not the person you're responding to, but yes, you can use an SD card in a MacBook Air/Pro to store apps and you can launch them from there, whether it's formatted as FAT32, exFAT or HFS+.
Reliability depends on the particular card and vendor. I'm using a JetDrive (an SD card specially designed to snugly fit the MacBook Air's SD card slot) and have had zero problems.

- rahimnathwani 9y agoIf you already have a TF card you want to use, you can buy an SD adapter that will fit flush. There are a couple of different sizes, but I think you can get them for most/all models, e.g.: https://www.banggood.com/Micro-SD-TF-to-MiniDrive-SD-Adapter-For-MacBook-Air-Pro-p-914615.html https://www.banggood.com/Micro-SD-TF-to-MiniDrive-SD-Adapter... IIRC you can even get a Mac to boot off an SD card (e.g. to run Debian occasionally), but the performance is better with a USB3-connected SSD.
