User Reviews

Users broadly praise Instant PGP for its ease of use and baseline PGP features (encrypt/decrypt, sign/verify, key management). However, recurrent complaints center on key import problems (invalid formats, ECC unsupported), occasional decryption failures, and serious security concerns (private keys and passphrases visible on device). Many note the app is best for basic use, with limited key types/expiration options and occasional ads that degrade experience. Overall it’s convenient for beginners but risky for sensitive material and not suitable for advanced users.
Pros
  • Easy to use with a simple, user-friendly interface.
  • Core PGP features are available (encrypt/decrypt, sign/verify, key generation/import/export).
  • Copy-to-clipboard and paste-from-clipboard workflow for easy text handling.
  • Suitable for beginners and basic use cases.
  • Key management/import/export is straightforward.
Cons
  • Key import problems: key format errors; inability to import some keys (ECC).
  • Security concerns: private keys and passphrases visible in plaintext on the device.
  • Decryption issues: sometimes cannot decrypt or shows invalid code.
  • Limited feature set: no support for advanced key types/expiration; RSA 3072 only.
  • Ad-heavy experience: intrusive ads during encryption.

It won’t let you decrypt the messages. Says invalid code. Do any of these pgp apps even work

Loved this one but now it has a huge ad that pops up on anything encrypted by the app which is so obnoxious
