Paper matters more on a screen than people expect. Squares keep columns of numbers lined up, dots give a sketch structure without getting in the way, and ruled lines keep handwriting even. NoteFun draws its papers as clean vector guides that stay sharp at any zoom.

Why graph paper suits math on iPad
Squares give every digit a place, so long division, matrices and fractions stay aligned, and axes for a quick graph are already there. On squared paper the tutor's reply is written into the same grid, right under your working. If you want help with a problem, the step-by-step math guide walks through Hint, Explain and Solve.
Black paper for evenings
Black paper is easier on the eyes in a dark room and makes bright inks stand out. Choose Black as the paper color when you create the notebook, and pair it with light or bright inks.
