The NetGalley Reading Journal was a nice little addition, and a user guide is wonderful for navigating through it. The journal itself is pretty straightforward and minimalis (as it should!) so this user guide delves into the little frequently asked questions, and what devices or apps the journal would be compatible with and the obvious, how to use the journal. Short and sweet.

really useful guid to help use the journal. I found it really helpful to use the ready journal and getting it correctly set up

Provides wasy to read information on how to use the NetGalley Reading Journal. I like that it provided information for different outlets on using the journal (iOs, Android).

This guide is a huge help — especially for new-to-digital-journaling readers like me. Thanks, NetGalley!

The instructions provided for the Reading Journal were well captured and explained. I appreciated that there was an option specifically for iOS users. There is also not an overwhelming amount of information so it was easy to find what I needed and take off from there in the app. I could have used some images to help with directions but that is more of my own personal preference. Useful reference tool.
