## Instant PGP Reviews in United States

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
It won’t let you decrypt the messages. Says invalid code. Do any of these pgp apps even work
-- billyboydeadhead, 2025-10-27

### ***** "Great PGP tool"
Loved this one but now it has a huge ad that pops up on anything encrypted by the app which is so obnoxious
-- zZHeeroZz, 2025-10-08

### ****- "Good basic PGP app"
The app provides good basic PGP functionality.  The app should be useful for the intermediate user who doesn’t need more advanced features. Overall, the functionality is good, with the main functions of encrypting/decrypting, signing/verifying, and key generation/importing/exporting being present.  The UI is simple to navigate.  The strength of the key is RSA 3072, which is less than the maximum 4096, but should be sufficiently strong for most purposes.  I did not see a way to create different strength keys or types, such as DSA, ECDSA, or EdDSA.  There is no ending date/time for generated keys, which is not necessarily the optimal option, but is understandable for more basic users.  I did not see an option to set an end date, which would be a better option.

Regarding security, one needs to be cognizant that apps such as these do house your private key, so there is an element of trust that is needed when using such an app.  Also, we don’t know how robust and secure the key generation is performed.  Without seeing the source code, one has to rely on the developer’s assurance that everything is kosher and performed in a way that does not create unacceptable risk.  In the general sense, I would avoid using phone/tablets for anything of a sensitive nature if at all possible.  So, apps like these present a certain level of convenience at the price of reduced security; the nature of the beast in security.
-- No Kings!!!, 2025-09-26

### ***-- "Poor security choices"
The private key and passphrase always visible in clear text. Private key can be used without the passphrase. App is wide open to anyone with physical access.
-- Alex27182, 2025-08-12

### ***-- "Looks nice, but can’t use modern keys."
I wasn’t able to import an ECC key. Bit of a blocker.
-- mossymaker, 2025-07-31

### ****- "Not bad, but…."
Works great, but it would be nice to be able to import a keypair from an ASCII armored file instead of having to cut & paste.
-- WYCowboy911, 2025-03-20

### ****- "Hey, it works."
Not complicated at all. Very good for encryption.
-- Mightbeanon23, 2025-03-08

### *---- "Unbelievable"
You can't import
-- Feesha2b, 2025-02-14

### ***** "Love this app for IOS! Makes encrypting and decrypting msgs quickly ,easily, and free!"
I agree with other reviewers. I don’t understand why this app doesn’t have a 5 start rating. I took a chance despite the medicore reviews and was surprised at how well it worked for me. Literally one of the few times an app has actually performs exactly like its supposed to as per  the apps description. 
Importing keys was quick and easy, has a Simple easy you use encrypt/decrypt interface, and even has a “copy to clip board” and “paste from clip board” buttons which I love. Having to try and highlight and large block of text old that I can copy it can be a goddam nightmare for me on mobile devices due to my large fingers  and digitizer in the touchscreens not being very precise. Being able to just tap the “copy to clipboard” button eliminates  all that. Simple but effective solution. I suspect bad reviews of this app may be at least partially due to users  not thoroughly understanding how PGP encryption works. If they did, there’s literally nothing to dislike on this app.
If u need a simple and effective app to perform PGP functions on ur iPhone instant PGP is what u need! Just Download it! U can thank me
Later. 
Btw… This was a real review from a real user.
-- Psytrancepsycho, 2025-01-28

### ***** "Simpler to use than I thought"
Recently tested out this app and find it’s incredibly simple and have had no issues sending to recipients. Just copy your individuals PGP addy in and it’s saved and you’re good to go! Fantastic app!
