Fitbit Journal - Notes on the Fitbit app

[Shoestring45]

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 couldn't agree more! I had back surgery 3 weeks ago and had to drastically reduce my steps and stairs count.
Hopefully enough people will request a note section and they will add one.

It would be good to be able to add a note to a days step count such as - battery died, forgot to put tracker on, or other reason for that day being unusally high or low count.

I'd love to be able to add tags or notes to exercises after I complete them, and then be able to sort by the tags/key words. For example, I take fitness classes 3x a week and would love to be able to compare the quality of workout, heartrate, number of steps, etc. I get with the different instructors.

+1 for "Add Note" in daily sleep log!!! YES!!!

This feature would be sooooo helpful to track habits, herbal supplements, medicine, menapause systems to improve sleep quality.  

GOOD SLEEP is ultimately the foundation for selecting good food and doing exercise!

(FB Support, is there a feature enhancement # assigned to this?  If so, what is it?)

[JPBelle]

It would make me very happy if a notes log could be added for the sleep tracking feature. I could track if one of my dogs woke me up, I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep because of stress, I was sleeping in a hotel that night,  I only slept four hours because of a big work project, etc. Please consider adding this feature, thank you.

I have been wishing for this,  it would be awesome if I could add a comment or note to the sleep log.  It would be very helpful , I made a point to check to see if anyone made this suggestion please make this happen.

[billzoel]

It would be great to be able to add short notes to workouts and other activities.

[monkeydba]

I would love the ability to add a few notes to each day's entry. I have been sick for about one week now and I'd like to record that so when I look back on my history, I know that's why my activity level is very low.  Thanks

As a new user, I couldn't believe this wasn't a feature of the app. Assumed I was just missing it. I see that it's been suggested for years in the main forum so probably unlikely to be added but I would think this would be a must, as it has been for any other fitness related tracking app I've used in the past.

I was very disappointed to find this feature missing from fitbit. 

I track all of my weightlifting sessions for heart rate and calories and they differ a lot between body parts. I'd like to be able to note which exercises I performed for future comparison.

[Ramz2017]

I'm diabetic too. I noticed this week that my resting heart rate went up because I was sick. my A1c went up too. some times i travel for work and my routine gets thrown off. it would be nice to annotate these things so I could relate peaks and dips when reviewing the year. a comment section would be nice.

[CassieSaw]

On my previous fitness trackers app, I was able to leave comments on most activities (exercise, sleep, mood) and this feature would be helpful for tracking on Fitbit. For example, it is helpful to be able to note on sleep when you used a sleep aid. It would be helpful to note on exercise if you want to note which particular yoga class you went to that day.

[JudesG]

I need a spot to log in notes on Dashboard such as "all day meeting" or "tried rebounding workout today". This is the one feature I miss from my Jawbone.

LOVE MY SURGE and would really LOVE MY SURGE with this added feature!

[dressie]

Pretty please make an option to add a note to a workout. It sees to be an old request, can't believe it's that hard to add?

[dressie]

When I finish a workout, I would like to add a small note to write down the type of exercise I did. Is it possible to add this in the Android app?

[Rhibodel]

I would like the possibility of adding a note following doing a workout i.e how i felt. I also do T25 and would be great to write which one i completed

[MustafaJKT]

494 votes and counting. The notes feature is pretty well sought after. I would love to have this feature in the iOS app. Notes can be written down for

- Sick days

- Walk location or target

- Specific type of activity under a tracked activity (such as; dumbells or cowbells for "weights" excercise category; core or abs or arms for "Workout" excercise category)

- etc

I'm new to fitbit (bought me a charge 2), but i'm loving it so much that i only take it off when i shower (^_^).

[JJvZ]

I wonder how many people have to express their desire for a note feature before Fitbit adds it. It kind of seemed like a "no brainer" feature to me!

Looking at the requested topics list sorted by highest votes tells me that this notes request need to be in the thousands in order for fitbit to deem it a worthy change...

Thats unfortunate... I could really use a notes feature. Here's hoping 🙂

Additional Edit:

My third child is due to be born sometime next week. Imagine if i could open my fitbit mobile app, click on my heartbeat graph for that day, and write a note saying "my baby girl born at <time>" 😊

[kbown825]

I would love to be able to log a note or two about how I was feeling that day, so when you look back you can see oh I didn't do well on Wednesday because I was sick with the flu or something like that. It would also be really helpful for those of us with arthritis so we can then have a place to log all of our food, exercise and health for the day. 

[Lueck767]

Agreed. It would be a useful feature.

[ChiFit]

Enable text entries into the calendar so the user can type in the specific exercises or muscle groups they worked/ targeted that day e.g. legs day, chest & biceps, etc. and make short notes such as 'personal record at xx lbs' or 'recovery exercise' or 'very sore today' 

[JoMaCo]

+ 1 for sleep notes

[CourtneyHK]

+1 for sleep notes - that would be incredible and provide me with much more insight!

[Ann2]

With the FitBit latest sleep tracker version Mar 27, 2017 they eliminated Quality of Sleep.

This is an important feature that should be corrected in this new version
