This is a brief how to use manual for the NetGalley Reading Journal. In straightforward, easy to understand and use format, instructions are provided giving you guidance on how to use and make the most out of this journal. The book provided instructions on how to download the guide and use it on a note taking app. The app recommended for Apple requires a paid subscription for which I have no other use for. In my particular case, the free Goodreads app provides a similar service at no cost to me and so in my case that is a better option for me. This guide does however provide helpful instructions for those that want to use it.

Thanks for this useful Reading Journal from We are Bookish and Netgalley. It was helpful. It can be used to as a guide for readers.

This user guide was exactly what I needed to understand how to use the Digital Reading Journal. Must read for new to digital journaling readers.

An excellent user guide to a reading journal. Everything was set up on Android step by step with the instructions.

I still need to set up my reading journal as I don't use a notetaking app (or have a tablet), but this seems to explain how to do it quite well.

This was a helpful resource for navigating the Reading Journal provided by NetGalley. It's concise and easy to understand. I found it answered a few questions about using the journal and formatting my pages. Love the stickers feature!

Accidentally downloaded this twice. I reviewed this last year and decided it was too complex for my reading tracker needs. Those readers who enjoy geeking out about their stats will find this helpful.

Love this so easy to use. I have been wanting to try a digital reading journal and netgalleys is really easy to use and they give great instructions.

A very useful tool in navigating the netgalley reading journal. A short tutorial that’s easy to follow.

I appreciate the tips in this guide, but I utilize a different app. This was my first NetGalley download and I didn't realize it was part of the feedback titles!

I was delighted to find that there is a user guide for the reading journal. Unfortunately, I am not particularly clever with digital things, so while I could read the guide. I have not been able to make things work for me. Thanks.

This laid out the steps to leverage the digital note taking abilities so nicely it would set anyone up for success. A much appreciated guide.

I received a free copy of this book from We Are Bookish. I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

This was a super helpful addition to the Reading Journal. It helped me figure out some of the finer aspect of using the journal, like adding the stickers!

Thanks We Are Bookish and NetGalley - looking forward to new editions,

I wanted to use the Reading Journal but could not make head nor tail of how to actually use it until I read this guide. It gave simple, clear directions of where I should download it, what program to use it in, how to open it, etc and tips such as keep a blank copy so you've got the option of a new one each year. Very practical.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #WeAreBookish for an Advance Copy of this guide and the opportunity to review it.

HIghly recommended for Journal Users

Such an easy-to-follow and detailed guide which made it so quick for me to set up my digital reading journal!

This is so helpful! I knew I wanted to use the journal but had quite a few questions about how to make it work for me and this guide more than covers everything I need to know. Thank you, NetGalley!

I really appreciated this guide since I had no clue which apps to use to edit the reading guide. I liked that there were a couple of apps recommended and quick walkthroughs were provided for each. The information for the apps does need to be updated, however. Goodnotes does now support windows and android whereas this guide only mentions apple and iOS. I decided to download both apps and there is a free version of Goodnotes, but it was difficult to navigate as the app made it seem that there wasn't a free version. This could perhaps be more explicitly outlined in the guide so other users don't feel stuck in having to pay for the app.

This is a great guide on how to use NetGalley's Reading Journal. Comes with tons of helpful hints for every user.

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish. All opinions are my own.

This is a helpful guide on how to use the reading journal. I felt inspired to use the journal in 2025, and this guide helped me feel like it wasn't as overwhelming as it first seemed.

This is a useful - and necessary - companion for the Reading Journal. I highly recommend everyone reading this before using the Journal. One caveat that irritated me - they recommend downloading and using the Goodnotes App. What they don’t tell you is that the app costs you. Okay, it’s only $9.99/year but still, I wasn’t prepared for that. Other than that a definite good thing to have if you have the journal.
