Add notes to Activities

Consider providing the ability to edit activities entries.  As an example, a weightlifter may set an activity for weights  on the Ionic.  The ability to edit that entry would give the ability to add specifics ie arms, chest, back, etc. as well as a potential notes section to record other pertinent info about the session. This would apply across almost any activity discipline; run, row, cycle etc..  In addition, provide the ability to edit the date when entering an activity from the dashboard, without having to delete the activity and start over.  Thanks in advance

Can we have a place in the app where we can jot notes? I've started a circuit training routine and would like to jot a note or two but there doesn't appear to be a place to do that. Thanks.

Could a memo space be put into the daily log for memos like it rained today or snowed or uncle Ben visited so when you look back 2-3 weeks wondering why I was short on steps?

There needs to be a tab for "exercise notes" when going back and viewing a workout in the app.  This is useful to track a number of things such as: weight lifting exercises (sets, reps, weight), notes for music that was particularly helpful during a workout, weather/temp. Info, and any other useful info that isn't captured in Fitbit workouts.  I see in other threads where the moderator has said an app developer has made an app for it, but that doesn't help us because we would have to enter data in another app, or on our watch (which would be ridiculous).  Fitbit has to develop some of this into the core app because weight lifting is an area that lacks in the Fitbit world.  We just need a simple notepad/text field as a tab in the completed exercise view of the Fitbit app.  We have to be able to track our progress!  Thanks

A notes section would allow users to track details about their workout/exercise. For example, users would be able to write "I completed an arms and ab workout today and I would like to do a legs workout next time".

I think that every time you track or record an exercise, persons should be able to go into the activity and add some notes or details. For example, if I had categorized a workout as Weights, and wanted to keep track of what I did I could enter the specific routine I completed and the weights lifted so that the next time I could refer to this note.

Guys, is 2021, and this is a big miss. The app should have an option to annotate or add a comment to a work out or activity. How am I feeling? (mood meter?) What was challenging? what should I improve or pay attention to the next time I do the activity.

We have started using the GPS Tracking for our hikes & walks. We live in an area where we see wildlife each time we are out. We would like to log the animals we see and note the temp and overall weather. Is something on the current development path for Charge 4 to provide this feature?

If I ride a stationary bike, my watch doesn't connect to its data. There is no way to edit 'spinning' workout. Nice future would be also adding notes to my workout for example how it went, in what cycles I did it, etc.

Just add a "notes" section for workouts! For example, if I'm lifting weights, I should be able to enter the type and amount of each exercise I did. Or of I'm hiking, the amount of weight in my pack. I've seen this mentioned in the forums multiple times. Should be an easy fix. It's actually pretty concerning that it hasn't been done already.

Please give the ability to add a simple note to the workout in the Fitbit app. It would be great to make notes about workouts, like PRs or anything of note that could add some depth to the workout data besides heart rate and steps.

On the iOS application, when editing an exercise on the app that has been created from the device or app: I think there should be a way to have one note per exercise or even better to be able to add, edit, or remove notes in a notes section. I think this should all be controlled on the right hand corner with 3 dots where it just says Note or Notes.
