What features would you be willing to pay a little extra for?

Each of us are taking different approaches to our diets, While MFP is awesome there are some improvements that would be awesome. I might even be willing to pay extra for certain features. Maybe an a la carte type of thing.
For example I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if they would show the Glycemic index/Glycemic Load for Whole foods. (not processed branded. That would be too much work for them)
But if there were a way for them to incorporate the Glycemic index in the data that would be huge for many of us that have to watch carb intake for *health* reasons (ie diabetes and pre diabetes)

I'd pay for a database in which the only whole foods entries were those MFP pulled from the USDA database, didn't have liquid measurements like ml for solid foods, and all the decimal errors were fixed (1 g entries show values for 100 g).
It would need to be a complete database as well. For example, the MFP-created entry "Egg, whole, raw, fresh" has been missing for a few years. I still have it in my Recent, but need to use a user-created entry in the Recipe Builder.39 -
I'd pay if MFP would just clean up it's food database. Yikes, what a mess. Dozens and dozens of entries for "tap water", for example. And some of the spelling...chicken beast, genetic apples. smh Or maybe they just leave those entries there for laughs?29

This^^ all day long. Some way to differentiate. Even if it is a different color text that would work: or a second list completely. That doesn't seem to be that hard of a fix. No idea why it has to be difficult. When Mike owned the site, there was an asterisk that was in front of all the user-entered ones and the admin-entered ones didn't have the asterisk. (Or was it the other way 'round?)4 -

This. That would be the *only* thing I'd pay money for.
The app is also so quirky sometimes that until they consistently fix *that*, I will not go back to Premium. It crashes often, is a battery drain, and frequently deletes previously used items.9 -
The database clean-up, for sure. Any news on how their last "report item" project has changed anything?
If they can't clean it up themselves, they can allow individual user accounts to show/hide entries.5 -
I want to find how to enable negative calorie adjustments. I have googled and it says to go to Home, then Settings, then Diary and it should be there but it isnt. Where can I find this?2

Thank you.
So, would you pay extra to be able to do this on the app?8 -
I would pay if MFP could somehow autofix the "lose vs loose" problem.32

It's 100% free to accept that typos and misunderstandings about spelling will happen online, especially when you're gathering people from a variety of countries and backgrounds.25 -

I have't seen CT in a while. Do you think he finally threw up his hands at being the unofficial tech support?1 -

No. I got bills7 -
Nothing. I'm pretty happy with things as they are.
I might kick in a few bucks as a 1-time thing, like a go fund me type scenario, to get the woo button removed/changed, but I wouldn't pay a recurring monthly fee for it.21 -

I work with and forum with a lot of ESL people and IME it is native English speakers who make these types of mistakes.9
