Does what it should
I found not much feedback online and was a bit sceptical about this app, but after 10 minutes of testing, I’d say this app is legit + seems to be exactly what one would expect from an iOS PGP app. It works quite well, key importing, decrypting mails / sending mails works fine. I guess we’ll never get an iOS Mail plugin, since Apple does not allow iOS Mail plugins. This app goes around Apples limitation in a reasonable manner: the communication between Apple iOS Mail and the app uses the sharing / clipboard menu. This is for both ways, i.e. you forward received (encrypted) emails to the iPGMail. The “sending” option in the app luckily does not actually send, but just shares the encrypted email draft to the default Mail app, which then does the actual sending. This makes perfectly sense, I appreciate how the developer is not intrusive / does not try to replace either the standard Mail app, or mess with existing configurations. The app is pretty much standalone and focused on the sole task it has: manage keys + de/encrypt messages. Minor point of critique: I was not able to inject my keys over cable from the Mac’s finder menu. The files popped up in the app, but I found no option to import the keys. I then used AirDrop, which worked, but… severe warning here: once you imported the key in the iPGMail app, the iPhone still has this annoying habit to store the AirDrop received file in the iCloud (not the developer’s fault, but “aaaargh!!!”). So for anyone else, it might be best to plug the router’s internet connection and turn off 5g before accepting the keys via airdrop.
