You cannot login on the web, deleting your account within the app does nothing. Chats are not loading and there’s no end in sight. Just delete everything and let us move on ### 2/5 — Sold out *2025-02-16, version 6.4.2* Gotta require 13+ iOS ### 4/5 — calling *2024-09-23, version 6.4.2* hope can call friend☺️☺️ ### 3/5 — Used to absolutely love this app. *2022-09-22, version 6.0.1* Dragging and dropping files in chats and folders stopped working in version 6 on M1 Macs. When is this going to be fixed? It's been a few months now. Super frustrating ### 1/5 — Black Screen Issue *2022-07-12, version 6.0.1* every time i try to even log in to an account i have itll throw me a black screen made a new account just for this issue and was met with more black screens every time i went back like id go to a file page black screen redownloaded the app plenty nothing ### 1/5 — Crashes on start up. *2022-06-17, version 6.0.1* The lasted update crashes at startup. Right now it’s useless. ### 1/5 — Latest update broke app on older phones *2022-06-13, version 6.0.1* After the update the other day, iphone 6 can’t open the app now.... You get kicked back to home screen every time trying to open the app & now broken the app after the update ... ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2022-06-12* App was working great until most recent update. I can’t open the app anymore, it jus crashes as soon as I open it. I can’t try log in on my computer either as I need access to this account to verify my computer.. very frustrating, have lost many hours of work and contacts. ### 1/5 — Cloning git repositories stored in Keybase Fails *2022-04-28, version 5.9.0* The only thing I use Keybase for is encrypted git repositories. This App Store version doesn't seem to support them though. When I attempt to clone a repo, I get an error saying, "'remote-keybase' is not a git command." Keybase is pretty useless to me in this state. ### 4/5 — Amazing app - bad bug on Monterey M1 *2022-01-10, version 5.9.0* Best app for team comunication. Absolutely love it. GitHub integration is excellent. So much better than Slack. There is a REALLY bad bug on M1 computers that causes the launcher to no longer open applications. Have tested repeatedly a variety of apps and their extentions and it's for sure keybase. Absolutely love this app (and) we are mid-cycle crunch on an app so hope they fix this quickly. Highly recommend, just want if your'e on M1 for update. ### 1/5 — No longer maintained *2021-11-13, version 5.8.0* Doesn’t work since protocol change. No response in bug tracker. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — MacBook issue *2025-08-15, version 6.5.1* If I didn’t have to use this for work I would never touch it again. I have to delete and redownload this stupid app every time I close it. Which forces me to endlessly repeat the process or leave it running in the background 24/7 ### 1/5 — Accessibility *2025-02-12, version 6.4.2* “Crypto for everyone” but the app is not ADA compliant? I got an email for a class action being filed in a few weeks about this just so you are prepared ### 1/5 — no *2025-02-01, version 6.4.2* opps ### 1/5 — Text correction. *2024-03-26, version 6.2.8* The text correction turns itself on and it is so aggressive that it isn't usable. ### 1/5 — App is dying *2023-11-13, version 6.2.3* Used to be a super cool app. Becoming unmaintained since the team was acquired by Zoom. I had Stellar crypto on this, and logged in today to see that they had removed support for the stellar wallet. I was able to use the stellar network to get the funds off, but a lot of users may struggle with that. Unfortunately it has to be a one star review, as you can’t just add features to let users add money, and then remove those, potentially trapping your users money. ### 1/5 — Please update! *2023-05-21, version 6.0.1* Not able to use on my iPhone any longer. iPad is super buggy. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for ipad air 4 *2023-05-06, version 6.0.1* Doesn’t work for ipad air 4 ### 1/5 — No longer being updated? *2023-02-08, version 6.0.1* I’m constantly restarting this app on my iPad because scrolling the page causes a frozen white screen. Unable to even log in on my iPhone due to same blank screen problem. It’s been like six weeks…? What it up? ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-09-18, version 6.0.1* App doesn’t load right and profile picture dose not showing on any one pro an the message disappeared something happened and it need to be fixed ### 1/5 — Question *2022-08-01, version 6.0.1* I am trying to log in but I just get a black screen. Any help? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — many uses *2024-11-29, version 6.4.2* I love this app. Great chat. Encrypted file store. Allows fair coin flips over the network! Integrates with git — encrypting the repo. I don’t know of any substitute for keybase. ### 5/5 — Thankyouverygood *2024-09-29, version 6.4.2* Thankyou👌🙏🙏🙏 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-08-15, version 6.3.1* I love this app. What is missing is a password manager, and this app would explode. An API to access the password with managed timed keys would be ideal. Then, it could be used by small developers to store application secrets. ### 5/5 — Keybase is the best *2023-12-28, version 6.2.3* I am starting my journey into the big world of tech and web development. Learning programming languages, investing in crypto, and much more. Keybase has been an absolute life saver for someone who has an iPhone but still uses a PC computer. Most Apple products can airdrop stuff across devices. With keybase I can message myself from any device and keep up to date with my files. There is also public, private, and team cloud space to utilize so I don't even have to use a hard drive. How cool is that? So not only can you do that but you can encrypt, and decrypt files for sharing. Very nice stuff if you ask me. I love keybase and would recommend it to anyone who wants to have an easy file transfer system, safe and secure communication, or company/team work space for app usage. ### 5/5 — Cross platform, reliable, much more than chat *2023-08-09, version 6.2.2* I am really enthusiastic about Keybase chat as I depend on it daily for keeping in touch with close friends. The cross platform support is absolutely key for me (Apple Messages fail hard here, but Keybase is also far more reliable for me). I do also use some of the other features like security cloud storage and git repos which is very handy. ### 5/5 — Good but Siri *2023-07-14, version 6.2.0* Keybase for iOS is such a good app! However, can developers consider to add some basic functions like sending messages and so on to Siri? Sometimes I have the need to send messages via that AI. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Would love a Calendar option *2022-07-12, version 6.0.1* Dear Keybase development team: Would you create + support an encrypted calendar app? Thank you♥️♥️♥️ ### 5/5 — More than just a messaging app. An encrypted database *2022-05-18, version 5.9.0* We love using Keybase as our company chat / data base / code base. You can do all, it’s automatically encrypted and it’s so easy to search for files / docs / links you shared 6 months - a year ago! This app significantly improves my life ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-10-09, version 5.8.0* Works great and is open source software that is well needed today. Hopefully it just gains more traction for the mainstream. ### 5/5 — AWSOME buuuuuttt! *2021-05-01, version 5.6.0* You guys should add more features, like on discord! Discord is AWSOME, their problem is the lack of security and privacy, if you can get up to speed with them, but make their weaknesses your strength, it would be great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
