iPGMail is an app that implements the OpenPGP standard (RFC 4880, RFC 6637) and allows the user to create and manage both public and private (RSA, DSA, ECDSA, EDDSA, ECDH) PGP keys and send and receive PGP encrypted messages.
PGP Keys and Messages can be passed to iPGMail several ways:
* From the iOS Mail.app - The iOS mail application will pass PGP attachments to iPGMail directly, eliminating the need to do an awkward copy-and-paste. NOTE: PGP messages that are part of the main body of an email will still have to be copy-and-pasted, only properly tagged attachments can be passed automatically.
* Directly from the system clipboard. Copy-and-paste the PGP message text from any file, webpage, or message, and it can be imported and decrypted by the app.
* Finder App - Connect your device to a Mac and open up the standard Finder app. Select the device on the left and then you can copy files to and from the app using standard Finder actions.
* AirDrop - Transfer key files from your Mac OS/X system (10.10 or later) to your iPhone/iPad (iOS 7+) using AirDrop feature.
* DropBox - You can link iPGMail to a dropbox account and transfer files to and from your dropbox file space. This means you can encrypt and protect your dropbox files or share files with others through your existing dropbox Public interface.
* Keybase.IO - You can import public keys from http://keybase.io by using the "+" button on the public key listing and then searching for users registered in keybase.io.
iPGMail now allows you to easily reply to encrypted text-based messages and includes the original text with "> " prefixed to the lines. This allows for more email like conversational exchanges, all with strong OpenPGP cryptographic protection.
iPGMail supports PGP key generation or import. The key database is secured using the highest level of iOS file protection and are only accessible when in use by the app. Using your own private PGP keys, you can encrypt and/or digitally sign any messages. Optionally, your public key can be attached to any message you send from the app so that the recipient can then import it into their own keychain, either on the phone or on any computer with PGP support.
iPGMail will import your private keys so you can reuse your existing PGP identity and keys on your iPhone or iPad. Both public and private keys can be imported through the interfaces listed above.
iPGMail allows the user to search public SKS PGP keyservers to find registered public keys for other people with whom the user can then send email that is digitally signed and/or encrypted encoded in OpenPGP ASCII Armor.
This app is ideal for securing your files or for sending secure email messages to specific parties without worrying about it being viewed by anyone other than the designated recipient.

Pros and cons of iPGMail app for iPhone and iPad
iPGMail app good for
Edited - On version 1.31 the developer solved all the problems. Now the app is working as it should be. Great app!! Probably the most complete of this kind.
Thanks, Wyllys.
version 1.25 - I tried to create keys four times, the app crashed on two. Every time a try to decrypt a file with .jpg or .rtf the app crashed. Another app decrypted the same file flawless. I am done... 2$ on trash, but I am happy for uninstalled it. This is my first bad review. Dont believe on good reviews on US App Store!!!
But we need a ui update. Sometimes it doesnt fit the screen size of the iphone. For example in the settings.
And you need to support the launcher
A lot has been written about the lack of security on the iPad and iPhone. This app provides a great solution for those who want to send and receive PGP encrypted messages or files, or who want to be able to store PGP encrypted files on their iPad or iPhone. It works for PGP encrypted MS Word, Excel, PDF and TXT files. For those who travel a lot and want to be able to store documents securely on their mobile device, this is an ideal solution. Its also great because you can send and receive PGP encrypted emails over non-secured public WiFi hotspots.
Customer service by the developers is outstanding. I sent a support request regarding an issue I had in a previous version, and received an email response in less than one hour. They stayed in contact with me until the issue was resolved, and released a new version within a few days thereafter. Very impressive!
I agree with the earlier 5 star review. Simple to use. Great tool for encrypting files on DropBox. I now have access to encryption on all my devices.
Love it. Perfect for OpenPGP on the go... Just have to test how secure the application is at protecting the Sec Key and if it is held encrypted in the application
This app works great to secure messages. Would love to see 1password support to make entering my passphrase easier, but hey, it works!!
Some bad moments
whats the intention of releasing a pgp mail decryption app without email functionality? Working even with a low count of email traffic must be especially cruel. For me, unfortunately, the money is lost.
When I enable TouchID it is still possible to access the App just by clicking cancel and entering any 4 digit Code.
Very unsafe!
Also iPhone 6 support is missing.
the last update eats my sec and my public keyring. this isnt nice or funny!
Successive feature downgrade.
1. Sorting files by name or date is no longer possible
2. in earlier versions files could be decrypted with preview in file area, until lately text files had to be copied and pasted to the decrypt area.
3. Now even this doesnt work anymore.
Without a way to import private keys this app is next to useless. If and when however they sort that problem out it would be a 5 star app!
the most recent update to 3.0.2 failed to install, claiming my ipad was no longer compatible.
Usually iPGMail iOS app used & searched for
digital signature,
email signature,
email signatures,
and other. So, download free iPGMail .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
