Able to edit more of the exercise details

Being able to edit more of the workout details such as duration/end time would be incredibly helpful. This functionality is not that difficult to implement into your system, and it would make a LOT of your end users happier with your product.

I would to be able to edit the time for an exercise that I start manually. Sometimes, I forget to click "finish" when I am done. Would also like to be able to change description of exercise. Sometimes, I am in the gym and using a rowing machine but don't have that as one of my 6 preset choices so I just select "workout".

I accidentally bumped my Fitbit during a workout and it stopped tracking my workout. It does not let me adjust the time/duration of my workout. It used to and now it doesnt.

I frequently forget to "end" a workout on my Fitbit resulting in a much longer workout being recorded. As an example, I remember to start my spin workout but after class is over I forget to stop my Fitbit from recording.
I would simply like the ability to go into the app and edit the length of the workout so that a 144 minute workout could be 60.

I agree that we should be allowed to edit our exercise data. e.g. daily steps 

IF, for example, I am charging my Luxe, I have forgotten to bring it along, and do not notice until I arrive at my cross country ski destination! (NOT gonna go back at that point, and I certainly know the amount of steps that certain hikes or skis take!)

IF you are concerned re people cheating to get rewards or something, then just don't count them for such contests (IF they exist on some devices...I have no idea of this is real...just sayin...)

I would just like to see the reality of #/steps/dy, for instance, be reflected in my personal summaries and weekly averages! 

Thanks for considering this!

Yup.  Agree with everyone above.  I find it really frustrating to not be able to edit the data that's been auto recorded.  Left my exercise on for 3 hours after the exercise finished and now have way to high of calorie allowance for the day.  Not helpful.  (love almost everything else about the app and fitbit sense though....keep up the great work.

I was so whipped after finishing my workout I forgot to stop my fitbit and it recorded all day! I want to be able to edit the duration back to my activity time. All I can do is delete the whole activity!

Surprised this isn't available (Android user) - it's lack of features like this that make moving to another platform tempting.
