This guide was pretty helpful in getting started, but I wish it had gone into more depth. For instance, I downloaded all the files to my IPad and added them to Goodnotes. Once they were in Goodnotes, I was able to extract the .zip files, however, for the life of me, I could not figure out how to get the stickers into the journal from there. I really still haven't. I had to re-download the files to my iPad and import them just as saved files on my iPad and insert the stickers individually as pictures. I figured this out after watching a few YouTube videos of people journaling on Goodnotes.

It is mentioned using the free version of Goodnotes, but it is no longer free.

Seems like this guide just needs a little bit of updating, but it probably works for someone who has already used the program before, just not for newbies.

n/a. This was a reading journal user guide. Beneficial for me, I'm using it on my iPad. Not too sure what else to say, not too sure why I am being forced to write a review for it.

Easy explanation of how to do your notes. I have just downloaded the app and going to give it a try.

So cool that NetGalley offers this resource! A bit confusing at first, but easy to use once you take the time.

It's a really nice reading journal! I'll use it with my students as a printed version. So they'll be able to handwrite and draw in it too. Thank you for sharing it!

This was so helpful for someone who has never used NetGalley's Reading Journals before! I feel a lot more confident and reassured knowing that I have this to consult anytime I get confused and that I don't have to figure it out all by myself :)

This is super helpful! I loved the idea of the reading journal but wasn't really sure how to use it or best make it work for me. This had tons of useful tips and ideas and is great to have on hand for future reference.

I haven't had a chance to use this yet, but I did unzip it. It looks like it will be so much fun! I love that it includes several reading challenges. It has a bunch of really cute stickers. And the instruction manual is easy to use and follow along with. I also like the look of the reading journal that's provided. I hope to be able to start using it this weekend.

I am rating 4 stars to start, based on the visuals, since I haven't actually used the journal yet.

This is a great journal for anyone who likes to track their reading habits digitally. You have the ability to import pics, stickers and so much more - making this feel like your own personality and flair is part fo the fun.

A helpful guide when trying to use the digital reading journal NetGalley offers!

I was struggling to figure out how to use the tabs in my goodnotes app - turns out, I just needed to toggle one setting! Who knew!

Short and sweet. If you're thinking of getting into digital Journaling and want a template to start, check it out and definitely give the instructions a skim.
