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

How many votes and comments does Fitbit need? Seems like such a valuable feature. Even if it was only available on mobile.

I don't know but I posted this to Fitbit about August of 2015 if I remember correctly. I don't understand how something like a consumers comment section can be so difficult to code into the app?!??!???!

This feature would be a great addition to the workouts and walks. It is hard to keep track of my exercises and a few weeks later it is nice to review the progress by comparing the notes from each workout.

Fitbit Charge HR did not record my father's sleep last night, and I didn't change settings. I am starting a file in  Word on my desktop to note problems. Now I've learned that the problem was not the Fitbit, but the user. 🙂 It would still be very useful to have a brief journal on the dashboard in which to note why the day's automated entries are out of trend. And all such entries should be downloadable, of course.

Yes, please! Especially for generic "workouts" to record reps etc.

It would be AWESOME to have a place to make notes about your day.

Yes, I like the "note" option in Runkeeper and would love to see it added to Fitbit. It's nice to be able to add a description to your workout or leave a note about the conditions, etc.

I vote YES for ability to add a note to the day.

I vote YES for ability to add a note to an activity.

I would use these features probably not every day but definitely at LEAST once per week.

I would love to have a mood section, similar to the Clue app. I'd like to connect my exercise and sleep with my mood and productivity levels.

I would also like to be able to add a note to the exercise section. For example, I use an exercise bike with different courses and I would like to be able to note which course I rode to better compare how I did on different days. (And when I do use the exercise bike I have to log it as spinning although it's not really spinning because there is no exercise bike option.) Would also be nice to be able to sort exercise by type (so for example could look at all the days I did the elliptical at once.)

I want to switch to Fitbit HR from Up Move, but Fitbit doesn't allow notes or other "unusual" info.  I have insulin dependent diabetes and would appreciate this add.

I can't believe there is no way to log the specifics of your workout via a journal or note entry in the fitbit app or dashboard.  I got one for Christmas and have been looking forward to using it to track everything I do.  This morning I did a weights session and there's no where to log any information on reps/weight lifted etc.  Very frustrating indeed!!!

I am a senior citizen and purchased my fitbit more for breathing and relaxation sessions, pulse

rates, as well as my activities and I do get blood pressure readings from a different source 

which I would find helpful to be able to add to my different activities if I ever needed a record of my blood pressure and the activities I was performing at the time.

 

Thank you

On the app it would be good to have a " notes" section. So you can add notes to remind yourself of why you went way over steps or didn't make step total that day . Like if your sick or forgot to put it on

I second this. I know that I'm awake during the night (I'm awake enough to check the time and know that it is way too early to get up), but the tracker doesn't note this and I would like to make notes right there in the app as opposed to a separate app or notebook.

Hi. New fitbit user here. I know I'm late to the tracker game. I just searched for "how to add notes" and was directed to this forum. Just wanted to add my support for the usefulness of a daily note option.

Ability to copy and paste notes from desktop to app dashboard and vice
versa, and print notes from phone/tablet/desktop would be good, too. --

I think a drop down list that included Sick, Injured, etc. would be cool. It would be nice to see how many days a year you were off form because you were injured.
