To preface, I am a physical reading journaler. I've been journaling about books i've read for over 2 years now. I have bullet journaled for 8+ years. However, I am very new to digital journaling. I have an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil but have not utilized it to its full potential because the digital journaling world has been more difficult to learn and navigate.
I really appreciated this User Guide to the NetGalley Digital Reading Journal. It gave step by step instructions for how to import the digital files to my iPad - while also keeping a nice visual aesthetic!
I had some snags with how large the digital journal file is, which made some processes slow - but overall I was successful in importing! I even was able to download the complementary digital journal stickers.
In all, this is an essential tool for the technical aspects of using the Digital Journal. I am excited to get started!

This guide is a must read for NetGalley users who want to utilize the Reading Journal. This guide identifies apps you can use, including Goodnotes and Xodo to upload images, etc. and breaks things down with iPhone versus Android. Thank you NetGalley for all the cool things you do for readers!

I think the concept for this journal is great if only I could find a way to use it. I try following this user guide but it does not seem to help much as it refers you to download or access another app. I have accessed the two recommended but I am at a loss with how to integrate the journal into the app. I don’t know if there’s a learning curve or if I’m misunderstanding. At the moment, since I’m terribly behind with posting my reviews, I wanted to post this and hope that I can figure out how to use the journal. Concept is great but I don’t find it user friendly.

A helpful guide, but I'm not sure why it's treated like an actual book. I wish it was just a regular pdf or webpage.

Easy to understand, and gave some helpful tips on how the NetGalley reading journal is used. The text was well formatted and easy to follow, and the colour scheme was pretty, and easy on the eyes. I think the title could be improved if it had some more information, such as whether or not the Netgalley reading journal was required, or if other reading journals could be used instead for this purpose.
