OpenKeychain: Easy PGP

J T

Honestly, there is no reason why people should be giving this app such low ratings. If you want to import a key from clipboard - keys -> + button (bottom right) -> import from file -> 3 dots top right hand corner -> read from clipboard. Done. Oh and to encrypt a message using a key ... Go to the key and click on the little text box. Top right is copy. This app is very easy to use and one of the best free ones I've found. No issues or complaints. I even transferred my keys between phones.

The signature validation doesn't really do anything when you do it with a file. Everything else works well but I can't verify the authenticity of my files without signature verification. Defeats the purpose... UPDATE: Reading the reviews this seems to have something to do with this app not being able to read the clipboard on Android 10. This is technically an Android issue but I hope a workaround can be made.

Missing a key feature (for me, at least). While it does have the ability to utilize two-key cryptography on both files and presumably emails via the clipboard, it seemingly lacks the ability to sign or verify signatures on emails. While this doesn't render the app useless, it does make it less than useful to me unless I'm willing to replace my email client. It's been uninstalled.

All in all, a very great replacement to APG. I have one problem though which is that it is not allowing me to use older keys as they're branded 'insecure'. I get that it could be a problem, but for certain legacy items which cannot have the key changed, I'm now being forced to use no encryption at all. Is it possible to give the user the option to use the key anyway, even if you deem it to be insecure?

It worked great the first few times I used the clipboard to decrypt keys then all of the sudden it does not work. Every time now it shows, "no data to decrypt" when I use it. I'm now looking for another pgp app unless they can fix this. I am running Android 9 on a Motorola g7 optimo maxx, I was very happy with it until this happened. Hope you can fix it.

Unable to decrypt messages from clipboard or various files doc, html. I tried so many different file types nothing. I even used the phone in landscape mode before copying message. Not sure if I have to pay for the feature because it doesn't say. Can't make a bug report says corrupted. I give up lol.

what a pile. the UI is pretty but confusing. you can't import multiple keys at a time, which means you have to spend HOURS doing it if you work at a corp of any size. terminology is inconsistent with industry standards. it's slow and forces key standards whether you need them or not, which makes working with legacy systems impossible. man, I miss APG...

Very helpful and interesting app. Using for a year or more. But, I'm facing some inconvenience due to a missing feature. In this app, I found no way to generate and export a revocation certificate locally. For cases, where I don't want to upload my keys to a keyserver and share my public key locally using file sharing, email or IM, I get no option to share my revocation certificate with anyone locally (using the above mentioned medias). Adding that feature will be helpful for people like me.

Well, it works. However, the user interface is not so user-friendly. For the beginners. There are also some minor mistakes, some buttons do not work. I think that the security of this app is OK. But there should be clear information about: private key, public key, sub-key, sharing the key, backup of the key.

Crashes are infrequent but when it does crash, it'll be a crash loop or the app will no longer open without crashing. Reinstalling the app fixes this. The notification for linking to contacts keeps showing up. Also, I wonder if there are other apps than K-9 Mail that works with this app? K-9 Mail doesn't work.
