A seat at the table

Your new favourite.
Now on Android.

Bring a recipe you love. Try Zuppi in your own kitchen. Tell us what feels good and what could be better.

This is an early version, so a few things may need a little more seasoning. We’ll walk you through joining the test and installing from Google Play.

A little heads-up

Give Google a moment.

After you join Test Pilots, Google Play can take a few minutes to recognise your membership and make the test available. It can sometimes take longer. Keep the same Google account selected throughout, then try again.

Your way in

Let’s get cooking.

Follow these steps in order. Each step opens the next.

Start with something delicious

What to test.

You don’t need to do everything at once. Start with a recipe you’d actually cook, then try a few of these as you use Zuppi over the next two weeks.

Bring a recipe in. Import a recipe from a website or social post, or paste one in. Check ingredients, quantities, servings, photos and method against the original. Include the source link if something is missing.
Make it yours. Edit a recipe, save it to a folder, favourite it, and try search. Add a note or rating and check it’s still there when you reopen Zuppi.
Cook something. Change the serving size, follow the cooking steps and try a timer. Tell us about awkward navigation, unclear amounts or anything that interrupts cooking. Try translation if you have a recipe in another language.
Plan, shop, repeat. Add a meal to your plan, send ingredients to your shopping list and tick them off. Try adding pantry items and check that changes are kept.
Share a little. Try a recipe link, a friend invite or a Home with another tester. Check that shared changes arrive and personal notes, favourites and cooking history remain personal.

Have another device or a little more time?

Sign in with Google to use Zuppi. Use the same account on a second device to check that recipe edits, folders, favourites and notes arrive.

Try an edit offline, then reconnect. Look for missing changes, duplicates or older information replacing newer edits. Use a spare test recipe for conflicting edits on two devices.

After an update, check your existing recipes, photos, folders and pantry items. Install updates over the existing app; uninstalling removes local data.

Stay for a fortnight, if you can.

Please stay opted in on Google Play for at least 14 days and use Zuppi as you normally would. Your feedback helps us improve the app and prepare to welcome more cooks. You can leave whenever you need to.

Good, bad or a little confusing

Tell us how it went.

A quick note is enough. Bugs, ideas, confusing moments and things you enjoyed are all useful. You can send feedback any time, even if you’re stuck joining.

Email your feedback

Opens your email app with a few helpful prompts. Or write to hello@zuppi.recipes.

Already in Zuppi?

Open More → Get in touch to email us from the app.

Prefer Google Play?

Open Zuppi’s page in the Play Store, find Private feedback to developer and tap Write feedback. Add a rating and a note, then tap Post. This feedback is private to the developer and won’t appear as a public review.

If that option isn’t shown, email works just as well.

For a bug, these details help:

What you tried, what you expected and what happened.
The steps to make it happen again.
Your phone model, Android version and Zuppi version (in Settings).
A screenshot or short screen recording, if useful. For imports, include the recipe or post link.

Please leave out passwords and hide personal information in screenshots. Send anything private by email, rather than posting it in the Google Group.

A helping hand

Stuck at the door?

Google Play says I’m not eligible or can’t find Zuppi.

First check that you joined Test Pilots, then accepted Become a tester on Google Play. These are two separate steps.

New group membership can take a few minutes to reach Google Play, and sometimes longer. Check the email under your profile picture in Google Groups, the testing page and the Play Store. They must all match. Wait a little, then reopen the testing link.

If it still doesn’t work, email hello@zuppi.recipes with the message you see and your phone model.

What counts as joining the test?

Google Groups gives your account access. Choosing Become a tester on Google Play opts you into the test. Entering your email here, joining the group or ticking a confirmation here does not opt you in on Google Play.

Once Google Play confirms you’re a tester, stay enrolled for at least 14 days if you can. If you leave and rejoin, your consecutive testing period starts again.

I’ve already joined, or I’m using another browser.

You can use the same email here again. Existing testers won’t receive another welcome email. Use Check my membership, then confirm your Google Play tester status to install or update. Already in Test Pilots? There’s no need to join again.

If you switch Google accounts, use start again in the joining guide. Each account needs its own group membership and Google Play opt-in.
