Thank you for helping us test Paprika 4! This section describes what we'd most like you to try during the beta, and how to send us your feedback.
Before You Start
Sign up - If you haven't already, fill out our beta signup form to enable beta access for your Paprika account.
Sync first - Before you install the beta, open Paprika 3 and let it finish syncing to ensure all of your data is uploaded to your Paprika account.
Back up your recipes - We always recommend taking a backup of your recipes in the Paprika Recipe Format via File -> Export… in the menu bar.
Note
Paprika 4 replaces Paprika 3. Paprika 4 is designed as an in-place upgrade, therefore installing Paprika 4 will replace Paprika 3 on your device. If you still need Paprika 3, we recommend installing Paprika 4 on a secondary Mac instead.
Your data will be preserved when you upgrade.
Paprika 4 is backwards compatible and capable of syncing with earlier versions of Paprika.
You can leave the beta and reinstall Paprika 3 by going to TestFlight and pressing Stop Testing.
What to Test
Use Paprika 4 the way you normally would: add new recipes, plan your meals, shop from your grocery list, and cook with your recipes. Most of all, we'd like to hear about anything that is broken, confusing, or slower than it was in Paprika 3. Along the way, please try these in particular.
Adding Recipes
Recipe scanning - Scan cookbook pages and recipe cards, including handwritten cards, recipes set in two columns, and recipes that run across two pages.
Social media importing - Save recipes from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube posts.
When submitting feedback regarding any of these new import features, it would be very helpful if you provided the source photo, social media post, or text content that you attempted to import.
Organizing
Cookbooks - Create cookbooks, move recipes between them, and share a cookbook with another Paprika user.
Advanced search - Build searches from several rules, and keep the ones you use as saved searches. See Advanced Search.
Category suggestions - Let Paprika suggest categories for recipes that have none.
Duplicates - Find duplicate recipes, and check that the ones it matches really are duplicates.
Nutrition
Ingredient analysis - Analyze a recipe's ingredients and compare the results with a recipe whose nutrition you already know.
Sharing
Family sharing - Invite a family member, then both make changes and check that you each see the other's.
Messages - Send a recipe to another Paprika user, and import one sent to you.
Pantry
Pantry locations - Split your pantry into locations such as the fridge and the freezer.
Meals
Calendar feed - Subscribe to your meal plan in your calendar app, then plan and move a few meals and check that the calendar follows.
Open the TestFlight app, select Paprika, and click Send Beta Feedback. Add a note describing the problem, and attach a screenshot if it helps show what you saw.
If Paprika crashes, TestFlight asks whether you'd like to send a crash report. Please do, and add a note about what you were doing when it happened.
Direct Feedback
For a longer report, or to attach files, you can also submit a request through our support page using the Beta Feedback category. Please include:
The version of Paprika 4 you are running, shown under Paprika -> About Paprika in the menu bar.
