Can a notes option be added?

[RC4RP]

Can a notes option be added? A notes option will enable me to remember why my performance was at that level. Updating a separate journal is time consuming.

Lets go look at the Feature request site, i see this request for notes, its waiting for your vote and comment

[Nicole_danielle]

This would be a great feature for people who are sick or trying something different with their workouts. Just for them to record what there results were an how to improve.

@Nicole_danielle did you follow the link I provided in my last comment?

I am recovering from a hip operation so 2000 steps is a milestone for me - hence would be great to add that note...

[Nicole_danielle]

I am recovering from a cardiac surgery and a brain injury so the note thing would be so helpful

[FerdinandFitbit]

Hey there @Nicole_danielle @RC4RP, good to see you in the Community! 🙂

I'm happy to hear that you're both recovering and makeing progress! I also think  that this would be a very handy feature so make sure to take a look at the link @Rich_Laue provided and add your vote and comments there.

Anything else, we're here to help!

I would also like to. BE able add a note to Heart rate. For instance if I have a cold, my resting heart rate rises by up to 10 bpm. In my graphs I would like to be able to add a note that I had a cold so I can keep track of what caused the increase. This is really helpful in training since you have to be able to look back and make sure you are not getting over trained etc

Hi @cloggy123. Good to see you in the Forums!

Please, make sure to add your vote and comments to this feature suggestion.

Any other thing, let us know! 🙂

It would also be considerate to allow for a notes tab specifically for women's "monthly" weight gain as well as a tracker for inches lost.

Hi @Manya. Great to see you in the Community Forums!

I do see this as something that could come handy and many women would make use of it. Please be sure to add your vote and any comments you may have on this suggestion and any other idea you may have, we're all ears! 🙂

I’m not getting the link to open.  I’ve had the flu for a week and need to document why my food and water intake is  for my Dr.  I have other health issues (lung cancer, kidney removed, neuroendocrine cancer, and other blips on my screen of life). I use this information to share with my team of specialists and so far they know I don’t cheat and are using this anecdotal information to help me get better.  Thanks.

Has this been done? I got the Versa for holiday 2018 and can't believe there is no notes feature in the app. It's 2019! A space for entering text in an app is pretty standard. 

[Rich_Laue]

Hello @ADKH, with the Versa it might be easy for a third party person to add this feature, but since the Versa does not have an answer keyboard they would also have to write the routine needed to type in notes. 

With the versa screen so small, I can't believe anyone would when try to enter a note through the Versa. I would rather see some third party make a companion phone app that would send the note to the Versa.

Hi Rich,

I was actually hoping for an option on the app that is on my phone - the app that connects with the Versa watch. I don't need to add notes through my watch, just on the app. For instance, when I open the app and see that I did a Treadmill workout, I'd love to be able to make a note like "hill intervals" or "walk/run" or something. I don't think the notes section would need to be tied to a particular feature (Exercise, Food, Sleep, etc), but if there could be Notes section on the main dashboard, that would be great.

I've upvoted a Community thread about this topic, but it is from a few years ago and there didn't seem to be any movement from Fitbit on addressing it. Again, I don't want to free type on my watch, but would like to be able to type into the corresponding Fitbit app on my phone.

Thank you!
