Reviews for OpenKeychain: Easy PGP
FOR THOSE HAVING CLIPBOARD IMPORT ISSUES. Simply copy paste the key to your notes on your phone, save as a .txt file(with memorable name). ALLOW app PERMISSIONS to access files and media,then go back to app and import the pgp key from files and works perfectly. Must just be a clipboard glitch as I too cannot import from clipboard. This is a slightly inconvenient workaround. But does work.
This app is excellent! It works and has a very small learning curve for new to encryption software users. All the critical posts are people who don't know how to use it! Would love to see an update, just for security. 10/10 RECOMMEND!
This app has great potential but I personally haven't learnt to use it effectively due to not researching & learning enough tutorial & functional instructions. So that's my issue but once I learn to use all the apps functions I'm sure it will be awesome. P. S-I've found it hard to find an appropriate tutorial or how to use guide that covers everything in simple enough step by step instructions. They come close but still leave gaps in understanding & instruction.
Was perfect until now - it won't read from clipboard anymore when decrypting! So the app is basically pointless now Edit: almost a month since this problem has started and they still haven't simply added the option to manually paste instead of reading from the clipboard! If anyone knows another app that handles pgp keys on android let me know please as I (used to) use this daily and now it's completely functionless
Great for encryption of files and text. Would be better if I could also verify files with .asc which I currently have to do on windows using pgp Kleopatra software before transferring files to Android.
Extremely Limited. You can encrypt and sign, however you can no longer decrypt or verify signed messages. Not intuitive. Not sure what the author did here snd why. Almost useless. UPDATE: You can decrypt / verify, i initially did not see the option in the menu, however the gui could be improved upon to make things clear and easier. Upgrading to 4 stars.
Should be able to export public and private key together. Private key is password protected, should be no problem to export. The only option is backup, which does not give me the ability to choose my own password. This makes it difficult to share between devices.
decrypt only to binary on screen and clipboard? how useless Really? No output? Just share?? Am I missing something..why would you not save the decrypted output. Still can't view data in case I don't (!) want to permanently store sensitive data on disk. Associations get me to apps where none of them can open textual files.. so it's a struggle..
Have used this app for a while with no issues until last Android update. As another reviewer mentioned, the app will no longer recognize pgp text in the clipboard. If you copy your pgp text and click "read from clipboard", an error message pops up saying "no data to decrypt". This needs to be fixed ASAP, as the app has no decrypting ability. ..my review would be 5 stars if this were fixed.
does what it's supposed to. *however*: clunky unintuitive ui, convoluted sequences for copy, paste, encrypt, decrypt etc etc, a weird account on my device that doesn't do anything and finally nailed with constant background crashes and a warning or two about battery consumption. try to find a better solution... because this is fundamentally poor
