## Description

**iPGMail** is a complete OpenPGP client for iPhone and iPad. Encrypt, decrypt, and digitally sign email and files using RFC 9580 and RFC 4880 standards, with compatibility across GnuPG, Mailvelope, Thunderbird, ProtonMail PGP exports, and other OpenPGP tools.

Bring existing PGP keys or generate new ones, send encrypted email through SMTP, manage signatures, and protect files up to 100 MB. Private keys and cryptographic operations remain on-device, secured with Touch ID or Face ID. iPGMail also supports PGP/MIME, modern PGP v6 encryption, multiple recipients, key servers, iOS file sharing, and iPad multitasking.

## Review summary

Pros: active maintenance, feature-rich PGP capabilities, a clean UI, reliable decryption, and strong positioning as a top iOS PGP app. Cons: recurring key import crashes, stability issues after updates, limited subkey support, beginner-unfriendliness, and value concerns. Privacy metadata concerns are noted by a minority. Overall, iPGMail offers solid functionality but reliability and onboarding can be challenging for some users.

### Pros

- Active maintenance with responsive developer support.
- Feature-rich PGP/GPG capabilities on iOS (encrypt, sign, decrypt with immediate verification).
- Nice, clean user interface and overall ease of use.
- Reliable decryption and verification that aligns with RFC 4880.
- Regarded by multiple users as one of the best, if not the best, iOS PGP app for daily workflows.

### Cons

- Key import failures and authentication errors when importing private keys (including extended-expiration keys).
- Stability issues after updates, including crashes or app not opening on some OS versions.
- Limited support for subkeys (sign/encrypt) and interoperability concerns with GnuPG.
- Not beginner-friendly; steep learning curve for users who aren’t highly competent with PGP.
- Perceived poor value for money among some users (waste of money) and occasional feature gaps like attachments support.
