This guide is very helpful. It’s a comprehensive overview of any questions you may have of the NetGalley Reading Journal. When I initially downloaded the Reading Journal I didn’t think it was more me, but this guide helped me figure out a way to customize it to my liking. It includes how to navigate the journal, suggested apps, how to add book covers, and more!

I downloaded the Reading Journal without realising there is a User Guide! Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish, a lot is clearer now and I will give the journal another attempt.

I love these!!! They’re way better designed than the majority of TBR apps out there, as well as better than some book journals I’ve seen in bookstores for sale. I only wish I could have it physical form as well.

This was a great user guide/follow-up to the reading journal! I already loved using the journal to track and motivate my reading but this user guide gave me new inspirations for ways I can keep my journal handy on my tablet and how to really personalise it using stickers and art. This is a must-have for anyone thinking of using the reading journal (and who wouldn’t!). Thank you so much for this complement to the reading journal!

Easy to use and it’s very informative,. It is easy to download and has detailed information about the book journal.

I have tried to download this two or three times and I don’t know where it goes so unfortunately I can’t get this very good rating. I am not that great at technology, but it seems that it should be pretty simple so I like the idea of it but it’s just not for me.

Thank heavens for this guide! I downloaded the Reading Journal expecting its use to be obvious. But it wasn't! If not for this User Guide, I'd have given it up and walked away. Short and concise, this is required reading!

This user manual helped me to understand how to use the netgalley reading journal. The journal is amazing but can be confusing to use at first.

Could be helpful but I believe that Goodnotes already gives a tutorial on how to upload files and duplicate pages.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is a great little guide full of things I didn’t even know I was missing such as Xodo and adding stickers to journals.

Downloaded the Reading Journal and was a bit confused on how to use it. Then I found this and made things much easier to navigate. It's halfway through the year but I think I'm going to enjoy using the Journal for the rest of the year.

A very handy insight into how the Reading Journal works; I love it! Although it was already easy to use, this will help out even more by explaining it more in depth.

This is so so helpful and well thought out! The guide itself is incredibly easy to navigate, and very detailed - but not in a way that's confusing! Thank you Netgalley!

This is a great resource for those new to using digital journaling tools, but I would love to see some coverage of Notability as well as Goodnotes.

This was a totally new concept for me! I loved the idea of it, but I’m such a color girlie. I would love the lotto be able to change colors or have a more colorful option.

Almost critical for those who want to understand how to use the NetGalley Reading Journal. It has a lot of information to get the most enjoyment out of the journal.

One of the things that I appreciate most about this user guide is its inclusion of links and clear step-by-step instructions. This might also sound weird, but I’m noticed and am a fan of the big font used in headers and that the paragraph font isn’t tiny.

My one suggestion would be to make sure it is updated since apps change all the time. I’m on Android. So, I’ll be learning to use Xobo for this one. Also, if there could be more than one suggested app per Android and iOS, I would appreciate having alternative ideas in case I don’t like using the one suggested software.

Definitely a must-read before starting to use the Reading Journal! I also learned about Xobo, a PDF tools that keep your documents safe. And the app is free? I will definitely be using this to edit my reading journal.
