You mean other than using Marshmallows "format as internal" feature?
I couldn't find a way so ended up "formatting as internal" my SD card

I know OP has used a work around, but if it helps anyone in future, you can manually move apps that support it, even when in the 'format for internal' setup.
Go into 'Settings', then 'Apps', then select the app, and tap 'Storage' and 'Change':

I guess its only for whatever apps support it like before, none of my apps offer me that option.
No option to change on my G4 either

Of course moving to SD has always depended on where the apps developer wanted it to install, but it looks like that option has been removed since the SD format as internal came along.

What cards are people using for internal?
I've tried a "Kingston 32 GB Micro SDHC UHS-I Speed Class 3 U3 Memory Card " but was reported as too slow
Now order a "SanDisk Extreme 32 GB SDHC Class 10 Memory Card up to 90 Mbps with U3 Ratings" to try

I have that same as card, and when I tried again, it just worked.
A suggestion: move only the apps you don't use often on the SD card. I did that, and there hasn't been a problem except a 2-3 extra seconds for the card to be recognized and mounted after boot.
I moved all of my 'reading and office' apps over because they are big but don't require lots of speed to work.
An example of what should be moved: Pokemon Go doesn't work well on the SD card, so it stays in internal memory. All of the Microsoft office apps (but not OneNote... I don't know why the option isn't there) were moved to the SD card.
I think that stuff you use all the time or things that really need to be fast when they are run should go on the system but the other stuff that is big but you don't use that much and don't need to be very fast should go on the SD card.
