Fitbit Journal - Notes on online and app dashboard

How about a space in the app for a daily note. I would like to be able to leave a note on the daily results page. So that if results are high or low I would know why when looking back. IE: was I sick so my daily results were very low or were they extra good and for what reason? In sure folks would have lots of reasons to look back at results and would want to know what was what at that time. Ted

I’d like a spot on my main dashboard to free text notes. I take my blood pressure daily and sometimes have other habits I’d like to note where I can see the information with my recorded stats

Being able to record when we start a new medication would also be very helpful in being able to track results.  A general notes section would be really helpful in a multitude of ways - please add this soon!!!

Add a journal function so that we can enter non-food items such as medications or supplements in order to monitor how they affect our sleep or other metrics. For example, if I take an allergy pill before bed, how does it affect my sleep, if I take magnesium to help relax or fall asleep, what changes can I notice in my heart rate or other metrics?

Hi,
I would love to be able to add a note to my day in order to jot down some additional info to the data as presented by the app. I looked through the app but have not been able to find a section to do that. Or is there a workaround know ?
Kind regards,
Mark

there should be a daily notes section with free typing. You can look back to a day with low activity or see why you didn't hit your goals and your note states you were sick that day.

Provide ability to choose journaling feature and also custom make the journal and in the reports show how the journal entry affects sleep ; eg taking magnesium, alcohol, watching TV, walking, late exercise affect the sleep - does the REM and Deep sleep change based on the journal feature

It would be helpful to be able to add a free text note to a day. This would help me identify trends. For example I might look at days where I have exceeded my calorie goal and see if my comments can provide an insight as to why this is occurring e.g. I might find that this often occurs on days where I visit my mother.

Hello, I would love to see a widget that I can add to my daily tracker screen on the FitBit app for general notes/journal.
There are things that I need to track about my health that don't fit into the other categories. It would be great to be able to open a note widget and enter things such as (a) tracking the variety of plant material I'm eating

The App should allow personal notes to be added daily since these affect the scores eg. medication

Don't see capability to make notes in app for logging helpful information. Don't want to use separate apps to log. Especially if I am going to keep Premium and pay extra, should have notes feature. I don't feel like Premium gives me much more and will likely not renew.

Would it be possible to add a musing / journaling feature so that I can reflect each day on my nutrition and exercise successes as well as write to relate my level of wellness each day to the activities or food I am eating?  Thanks
