Easy guide to help with the journal, good to have everything in one place and no jargon used
Fool proof guide, helpful if not technically minded

Extremely useful and so creative! Will definitely be using this for all my future reads and reviews, plus keeping track of any notable quotes and comments. Interested in more of these journals from Netgalley!

Very clear step-by-step user guide.
I appreciate the links inside of the document, it makes it very easy to just find what we're looking for.
Just straight to the point and links us to where additional information can be received!
Can use additional visuals to make it easier to follow some things considering different audiences.

Helpful explanation and directions for the journal, which I initially found confusing. Since I am not a place to subscribe to one of the recommended journaling softwares, I will hold on till or if I decide to use the journal.

I have been exploring different ways to track my reading—spaces, tools, technology, sheets, and more. A reading journal has come up as one of the best solutions. I appreciate that NetGalley has provided a user guide for the reading journal. I’m going to take a closer look at it now.
It would be a big plus if the journal could connect to other tools like GoodNotes and similar apps. Syncing data across platforms is one of the biggest challenges in the reading community. Even with other apps, this remains a major pain point.
I am glad the guide is addressing this - remains to be seen if I use it or not; maybe I will go analog with my reading tracking.

What a thoughtful companion to the NetGalley Reading Journal! Very comprehensive and quite helpful! This will be my first time using the journal, so it was perfect for me!

A really helpful guide for those new to digital journaling. Comprehensive and easy to understand. Many thanks.

Very helpful in getting the reading journal set up on my ipad in a way that works for me! Thank you so much for making this, as well as the journal!

Great user guide with steps on how to do everything. While i myself prefer a physical reading tracker/journal this is an excellent guide on how to use the suggested apps if you are tracking digitally

This reading journal user guide was very informative, especially for someone who has never used an e-journal before. I was able to set everything up on Goodnotes for the Reading Journal by using this user guide. It was very helpful and very easy to understand. 4.5/5 stars!

I enjoy the guide in how to use but don't see myself using the journal. Super cute and love the idea it's just a little too detailed and I probably wouldn't use half of the ways to track.

This was really helpful! I use GoodNotes, so I appreciated the instructions on how to modify the journal for my personal use. It answered a few questions I had, and while the journal is pretty simple to use, the guidance was definitely useful.

A lovely little addition to the reading journal. Thank you for taking the time to provide this resource!

I could have sworn there was a reading journal released some time last year but I see a new version from searching it too. This guide was helpful as a refresher on digital journaling! I wish it could be integrated with your NetGalley reading activity for the ARCs but it's probably really hard to do if the book gets archived before submitting feedback and such...

Super fun reading journal! I'll definitely be using this to track all the arcs I read! Thanks so much for providing this amazing resource!

It's fine. I won't really use it TBH. I prefer to log my books on Goodreads and rate and review through Amazon.

This guide was incredibly helpful! All of my questions were easily answered and I was able to set up this amazing reading journal.

I found this a helpful resource to accompany the actual reading journal.
It had hints and tips to be able to use the reading journal. The journal is definitely something more easily accessible if you are tech savvy.
