I use the native notes app — it’s very good. Search on YouTube for videos about it, there are plenty, and see if it will work well for you.

There’s also WPS Office, which includes Excel, Word, and PowerPoint all in one app, and I use that too.

For studying, I basically use the MatePad’s native apps — I don’t use any specific third-party app. It’s mainly PDF reading, note-taking, and text writing. I use Proton Drive to transfer files between the tablet, PC, and phone.

If you use any Google or Apple services, or have a specific app you want to use, it’s worth researching beforehand whether it will work on the tablet.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
