Fitbit Journal - Notes on the Fitbit app

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

Hi,

Just wondering if it's possible to add a note section in the new fitbit app version? I'm sure I'm not the only one interested 🙂

Sometimes I just look back in my exercise history and I'm not sure why I didn't hit a goal or I would like add the name of a trail I walked.

I would like to know if this idea has been considered yet?!

Thanks,
Inge

Notes for food in the iOS app would be great!

YES!!
It would be so much easier to keep track of improved times/pace etc when I do the same activity in the same place, if there was a way for me to make a note of where I was/what I was doing, or even if I could just add a location tag that'd help too!

The link to the journal from MatthewFitBit leads to a 404 error.

 

Do you have to be a premium user to get this journal?  I can't find it.

 

I would like it or a note section or something so I can track my migraine/twitching issues (due to a head injury) in one place... I have several apps and none of them do everything I need 😞

Hello everyone! despite is a simple feature, I believe its an awesome idea with a lot of potential, pretty useful to keep track of all the activity we do in a daily basis or can help too if is require to leave remark notes on specific situations to have a better control of the exercise recorded with a tracker. Let vote for this idea to increase its popularity and maybe in a future can be implemented.

I'd love notes as well. I need to keep a record of how I feel before and after eating in order to manage an eating disorder. A customizable number scale option would be even better--the ability to give a 1-10 rating on pain, hunger, illness, etc. would be awesome.

I completely agree! This would be a wonderful enhancment to the mobile app and could help users explain abnormal, high or low, statistics such as steps, sleep, etc.

I think it would be great if I could add some kind of note to my daily log in my ap. For example, I didn't meet my step goal today because I was sick and didn't get to work out. Or I couldn't wear the Surge today because The strap gave me a rash again, etc. Something so that if ypu are actually looking at activity over time you can remember what caused the anomalies.

I would like to be able to write down personal goals, reflections & what was happening during any particular time. In addition, I am an avid hiker & the exercise section needs to allow you to title or give some additional info- not just Hike- Walk- etc. This would help with goal setting to see how you did on a particular hike from the first to the next etc. thank you

It'd be awesome if there were a notes section while viewing my sleep records where I could write down my own percieved quality of sleep.

 

I'm looking for trends in my (admittedly poor) sleep. I'd like to be able to note what I had for dinner, any dreams I recall having, and how I feel when I wake up in the morning for each sleep session and have that information in the app.

If you track an activity (run for example) by mobile (not by auto detection activity), the pencil icon close the activity name at "activity history" doesn't appear. I'd like to edit the name (not simply "run"). I'd like to write comments, mood, weather, names of the runs or events that the register is related to.

 

Thanks

It would be nice if there was the abliity to jot down notes about exercise... IE: if you did a workout, what the WOD was or if you were on a run thoughts about how it went and where you could have improved.

Yes we need notes on mobile. I use my Fitbit to track my heart rate. If it goes up I want ability to put in a note that indicates what I was doing. Thank you

Yes, I also wanted to add note.   Note feature is very important, especially on mobile app.

 

I was sick with flu yesterday and today so my activities (eg. walk, run,....) figures today are much less as compared to other days, and so is my food intake these 2 days. So having a note (or journal) feature is useful when I look back my figures in future, I know what happened with me these 2 days. Anyway to suggest this to Fitbit support team?

Im trying to find out how to add notes to a workout.  I see if you manually enter a workout there is a notes section.  I would like the ability to edit Weights workouts with details of what muscle groups I worked out.  I dont see anywhere where I can add notes to a tracked workout like Weights, Hiking, ect...

I would like this section as well it would be nice to be able to add notes to workout, food, and anything else for the day!

The ability to make notes would be an excellent addition. The other night, the App reports I was awake for 39 minutes when it was actually close to three hours...

An area to put a short daily note would be really helpful. PLEASE!!! It would be helpful to note sick days, workout with friends, diet changes, lifestyle changes, dog days, party day, company in town, etc.

I think it would be nice to be able to make a note on the Dashboard. I recently was not able to meet my step goal on one day. It would be nice to go in and make a note as why I could not meet my goal. In my case it was due to knee problems that day. I have had bi lateral knee replacements. This would also be a way to log health issues that you may want to bring to your Dr.'s attention. Thank you for your assistance.

a note section is needed on the dashboard and on the app. There is more to life than steps and calories and I need a place to track my moods, why my stats might be high or low and health issues.

It would be great to add a note to an activity.  Sometimes there needs to be information as to where or why or who with or what happend etc...... about an acivuty.

I'd like the possibility to introduce notes in the different logs for pulse, sleep, steps etc...
That's because it would add much more information to all the data gathered by the tracker. Being able to add notes would help to remember what was done in that day/night. Would put the data gathered in a different prospective, help to realise if something was wrong or else if something was good, being able to know why.
Being able to add notes would have, in my opinion a big impact also in the medical area helping people and doctors to have an insight in what is going on.

I am an avid runner and workout daily both running and in the gym. I think it would be a great idea if a note section could be added to the exercise tab, i.e where a run is recorded so as you can make notes as to how the run went, weather conditions etc. It's always really good to look back at runs to see how you felt, progress etc
