A comprehensive guide that was very useful! It detailed even how to use the stickie notes! The reading journal seemed self-explanatory, but curiosity commanded I download this guide. I regret nothing! The journal, itself, seems much more sophisticated upon understanding this guide.

Love this reading journal, can't wait to start using it. Thank you so much.
I have always struggled with how to organise and track my reading, it has ended up being all over the place. I have tried apps, writing in a physical journal and the notes app on my phone and it all gets really confusing. Excited to try this reading journal and seeing if it works out for me, hopefully this is the one that will finally keep me organised.
This user guide is really helpful for starting to use the reading journal.

Much like the actual journal, this guide has been a wonderful resource for readers to keep track of what they are reading especially if you are someone like me who often forgets to record her books!

The NetGalley Reading Journal Guide is intended as a companion incentive to the NetGalley Reading Journal. It is an amazing companion resource, useful for navigating and instructions to start using the journal. I was able to set it up on my GoodNotes app but sometimes, the instructions were confusing but nevertheless made sense in the end. The guide ultimately serves as an amazing incentive improve the experience of using the journal with tips and tricks to make the effective use of the journal.

Good guide. I'm on android and did need the help with XODO. Had some issues with the cross-platform saves and still working on it.

Love the online journaling option! Just wish I was better at it! I always have good intentions, but find myself rushed. Hopefully will be able to do better soon!

I've had another look at this. It sounds really great. The instructions seem very clear and comprehensive until I try to start the journal. It didn't work for me the first time but I'm going to have another go. I suspect I've just got a mental block but really need to set aside some time to try out the free apps and set it up..

An easy friendly user guide for those of us who are not tech savvy by any means. I found it very helpful and am glad I took the time to look over.

There is so much to know about NetGalley’s Reading Journal! I’m so glad that I have this guide! I refer to it every once in a while, so I either remember to add certain things to my Reading Journal or to refresh my memory on what's available to me to track or things to think about.

Helpful for new users but annoying that I have to review it to get it off my shelf. I don't see the point of reviewing this.

I do much of my journaling by hand, but this guide made it very easy to understand how to download the Netgalley Journal and then upload it o the Goodnotes app. I have added the app to my ipad and look forward to getting more familiar with digital journaling. It is new to me so I nee to make the time to learn more about it and find how it will best fit into my personal reading routine. The journal is pretty, easy to use and includes plenty of enjoyable bookish content for readers for add stats and reviews to. I think this will be a fun addition to my active reading life!

Simple and easy instructions on how to start using the NetGalley reading journal. However if you want to get out a bit more of your journal I think these informations wont be enough.

I liked this a lot! I hope that NetGalley does this kind of thing again next summer.. I really enjoyed this and also I want it out of my "give feedback" section.

Very useful too, because it keeps you very focused. And I'll send you to track. How many books do you read into different reviews and such? Great idea
