Simple and useful

As a user of 1password, I often explain to people the importance of having different passwords for all their sites. They usually respond with "how do I easily do that?". This is how. A simple elegant design that solves a problem that I already have. I still use 1password for the ease of autofilling, but I will switch to KeyGrinder for generating and never be stuck without my password when on another machine again.
General Overview

It seems like a good idea, but wouldn't it make sense to have a demo or user guide someplace? Even their website has zero info. In the iPad app store there's a button on all their software offerings saying "Application Support". Click on it for this app, there's nothing! Under the circumstances I doubt I would use it since I have no idea what or how it does it!
Different take on password generation

I'm used to 1Password, so this seemed like it might simply duplicate the functionality provided there. While it can generate passwords and store them, KeyGrinder's strength is in the speed and consistency of the process! I found 1Password to be a tad cumbersome to deal with on a daily basis while this app is clearly geared toward only password creation and access, so its much faster to get in and out of. Nice!
Brilliant

Elegant solution so strong passwords that you dont need to remember. Available anywhere, never stored nor transmitted and completely dynamic passwords are a must and Keygrinder helps do that in the easiest way. Thank you for this, it has changed my password habits forever.
Simple and effective

Works as advertised. It would be nice to be able to save a password so it doesn't have to be entered in, but that is far less secure. The few negative reviews indicate that those particular users were confused with this tool. If you are unfamiliar, research pwdhash.
Great

Great tool! Compatible with Stanford Super Pwdhash. One complaint: wish you could copy hashed passwords to clipboard (unless I'm being dense and missing how). Developer: ideal interface would be similar to Google Authenticator -- click and hold automatically copies to clipboard without a second click. Otherwise great app!
