Manual Step Entry

A large number of folks work in industries where they can't wear their fitbits devices or even bring their phones in to their workspaces during the day.  A workaround to this is to wear a cheap pedometer during the day and convert steps in to a "walking exercise."  However, this is a bit tedious and not entirely accurate.  Is there a plan to incorporate a manual step entry in the fitbit app?

Hello @JonBracamonte! 

 

Thanks for sharing your feedback on the matter.

 

You can already manually enter a walking activity in order to get your steps counted. Keep in mind that these will not count towards friends' or challenges' leaderboards, but they will count towards your personal information.

 

Feel free to reach out with any questions.
