Great guide, really useful guide to the Reading Journal. Lovely that its available to everyone as well

This user guide was really helpful in getting started with using the digital reading journal on my iPad.

Definitely super helpful for people testing out the reading journal! Very easy to follow and user friendly.

Excellent guide to using the journal. I really want to set my goals for 2025 and have a place to keep it all digitally. Thanks for an amazing digital journal!

i rly like the graphics of this, but kind of sucks that there are no free apps for something this nice except goodnotes (i'm not sure i want to pay 9$ a year for this). :(

Good quick start guide for the NetGalley Reading Journal. Especially helpful when determining which app might work best for your needs.

A simple but informative guide on how to use the reading journal for the typical user. I initially thought there was no hope for me to use the journal without an iOS device, but in the guide it mentions the Xodo app, which can be downloaded at Play Store. So that's that! Thanks Netgalley for the useful guide!

Discovered Goodnotes: Now the love of my life. I love using the Reading Journal because honestly, I'm too lazy to make my own, but this has everything I could possibly need. Duplicating pages is so easy and it's aesthetic without being crowded.

I find the reading journals to be super helpful! It’s a great way to track the books you read and to keep yourself accountable! One of my goals in 2025 is to be more consistent with tracking my reads so this reading journal is super helpful!

This is a quick and useful user guide for people who are new to keeping a reading journal. There's lots of useful information regarding the journal and explains things for users of iOS and Android.

It's a fun journal, thank you for offering a guide, as well. Thank you for providing this for your readers! I'm not sure what else to write, since this isn't an actual book review. Haha!

I was looking for a reading journal (after trying many apps, but it wasn't enough), but I felt like it was hard and too much work just to track my books. I really love the fact that we have a guide because I downloaded the journal but I was so lost, I admit.
Thank you We Are Bookish and Netgalley!

Great information on how to use! I used it to learn how to import it to an app and it has so many useful guides and tips.

I'm looking forward to start with the Reading journal, I think it is a great addition and it will certainly help to prepare for the upcoming reviews.

A useful and well laid-out user guide covering all aspects of the reading journal, including what apps to use to edit. Very thorough and instructive for the beginner.

Very helpful reading journal user guide. Has info to make the user guide user friendly. I especially like the section about Xodo. I didn’t know that app existed.

Helpful for new users of the Reading Journal. Will definitely be referencing this as I begin this digital journey.

This guide was very useful. I’m new to using Goodnotes and this guide provided great tips on using the app. I look forward to using the Reading Journal.

I'm ready to make this journal my new obsession. Thank you Netgalley for providing such a pretty journal for free and also making this useful User Guide for us!

The guide was very clear and helpful, and that’s coming from someone with NO online journaling experience! The tabs made the PDF especially easy to navigate and find what I needed help with FAST, and the fact that they’re at the top of each page was an unexpected bonus. The little post-its with bonus tips made me feel less intimidated, and reminded me of, well, journaling— love it when the guide echoes the product! And extra appreciation for making it really easy to know which apps are for IOS/Apple vs. Android users, I never seem to pick right when left to my own, ahem, devices.
