I personally would not put my trust in any of them!

One should avoid using the internet completely when wishing to put keypairs on 
your iPhone.

Concerning the ipgmail, its seems likely if you use 'PhoneView' or the like, to 
access the phone as a USB device, you can see in the app a 'Documents' 
directory and inside another directory called 'Inbox' where keys are stored and 
a file called Keys.sqlite which is written in format 3 and I suppose is 
directly editable in some app I don't seem to have, to suite your directly 
added keys. (All advice welcome and I will test)

Seems to me far more practical and safe to transfer ones key pairs in directly, 
over a USB cable and not the internet.

I have written to the developer agin to ask about the plans for such direct 
uploading of keys.

best to all and safe comms!
