This helped some to use the guide but wasn't super helpful when flipping back and forth between the 2 books. Would prefer an easier method

The NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide is so helpful! I love how it recommends the best app to use it with depending on your phone/tablet type. This is exactly what I have been looking for and will be downloading the journal next!

Love this! Super helpful and now I know there’s apps I need to download to make me a better reviewer. So thankful for this information.

This is a helpful tool for using the Netgalley Reading Journal. What an awesome gift to us NetGalley readers! Thank you!

Thank you again We Are Bookish for this! The reading journal has been super helpful. I use it regularly and talk about it all the time!

A simple but comprehensive guide that introduces the Reading Journal to the NG users! It explains how to connect the Journal to note-keeping apps.

This is a really helpful guide! I've only done basic digital journalling previously. When I downloaded the journal itself it was super indepth, it also has so many bonus downloads and I was a little intimidated lol. This guide makes it super easy to get your head around!

It's great! Very useful for people who want to go into reading journaling. It is a perfect guide on how to use the reading journal created by Netgalley.

An essential companion to the NetGalley Reading Journal. I could not figure out how to update the PDF until I had this user guide to explain I needed to upload it to an app like Goodnotes. Thank you We Are Bookish and NetGalley!

First, I downloaded the user guide for the NetGalley Reading Journal. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into so this seemed like a good place to start. The user guide was concise and easy to follow. I found this user guide to be extremely helpful in understanding how to set up the guide in either Goodnotes or Xodo. This user guide walks you through the steps of determining your device, downloading your journal, and uploading it to your preferred notetaking device. This guide had been so helpful that I was eager to dig into the reading journal. I truly enjoyed this opportunity provided by NetGalley. I highly recommend reading both the NetGalley User Guide and exploring the NetGalley Reading Journal.

My expectations for a user guide are pretty straightforward. Once I read or review the information, can I understand what I have to do and do it? This definitely checked those boxes. It didn’t offer anything more creatively than expected, which for me is the definition of a 3-star review. I definitely do not plan to re-read this, but I would recommend it to other people new to NetGalley anyway.

This is a very easy to follow guide to get started with NetGalley’s digital reading journal. I was able to reference this as I started to go through their template. It was easy to find the information I needed to answer some of my questions on how to navigate the journal and get started with this digital process, I definitely recommend if you’ve never kept a digital reading journal and don’t know where to begin!

This brief guide tells the reader how to use the free NetGalley Reader's Journal. It appears to give the user all the basic information they need to get started with the journal, which is an online, customizable journal for tracking everything you read. It includes challenges, trackers, and other useful and fun pages, and it looks like something that many people will enjoy. However, to use it you must go through one of two free apps, depending on the operating system of your tablet. Yes, a tablet is recommended. As I don't own a tablet and also have no desire to learn another app's procedures, I won't be using the journal. I'll just stick to my physical Commonplace Book instead.

Very useful and helpful to learn how to use the NetGalley Reading Journal. I definitely needed it since I haven’t used a digital journal before.

I really enjoyed some of the spreads. Highly recommend if you are looking for a premade journal or if you want some ideas for your homemade one.

Gives you everything you need to know about the reading journals for a seamless user experience! With it's step by step guide on how to access the journals and how to use them, this guide sets you up for success.

Great little tutorial. Seems clear and easy to follow. Unfortunately my tech is too old to download the needed apps so I couldn't fully use everything. I look forward to coming back to this if I ever upgrade.

The user guide was super straightforward and clear. I appreciated the recommendations for apps to use for each major operating system.

Super helpful in getting started. I'm just a starting out as a reviewer, so it was super helpful l to have this guide as I was learning about the reading journal. Thank you for the guide and these instructions, NetGalley!

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing this comprehensive guide on using the NetGalley reading journal! I recently purchased an iPad and wanted to start a digital book journal but had no idea where to start. I remembered NetGalley produced a reading journal and grabbed it up. The downside was, I had no idea how to use it or get it on my iPad! In comes the NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide!! This has been a tremendous help on getting me through the basics and on my way to creating and using the amazing journal created by We Are Bookish. Thank you for providing such an amazing guide and tool!! I can’t wait to use my new reading journal year after year!
