Anyone know of a good app that has graph paper you can doodle on?

Rather than dealing with physical graph paper in sketching out solutions I'd prefer to be able to do it right on my phone/pad. Anyone have a recommendation for something like that?

If you find one, let me know here with an "at." I do a lot of mapping for my writing and it would be useful to have it on the iPad rather than on actual paper.

I've been using excel with the width of the columns set to make squares...

I've always just used ms-paint with the grid lines turned on, it's a lot of lines to look at all at once, which might not be your thing, but I'm use to it... As for an app, I've never seen one that will do graph paper justice.

@sparky_buzzsaw Hey, same to you if you run across one.

I've ordered a graph paper notebook from amazon in the meantime. Oh well.

@thomasnash@subliminalkitteh I'm looking for something to use on my phone on my couch though.

@sparky_buzzsaw: @excitable_misunderstood_genius: The best free app I've used so far is Google Keep. It's on both iOS and Android (I've only used the Android version.) It let's you take pictures and draw over them using different pen tips, thicknesses, and colors. There's also undo and redo functions. I've been taking pictures of puzzles that I'm stuck on (but already know the concepts to, so there's no red flashing to give me hints) and using the pen and undo tools to work them out.

You can also take or import a picture of blank graph paper and freestyle on that. It's the most handy free note taking tool I've used so far.

What I do is take a picture of the puzzle and then edit the picture in an app called Sketch for Android. Then I can draw the solution on the puzzle itself.

Not an app, I know, but I use a Wipebook 2.0 with graphing lines on it and two colors of correctable markers.
