As a logo I really like 4.1 and 4.2. But I'm not sure they sit well specifically within the iPhone home screen. 2.2 is your best choice for that specific use case. Perhaps a blend of the two?

Try 4.1 mask with the rectangle base.

I like 1.1, 4.1 and 4.2.

Also I might lose the gradient from the X.2 versions.

2.2 blends in well with the other icons

Blending in is only a question of having the app icon next to similar ones in colour and design. Also it could make it harder to find. I think the best practice is to make your icon stand out and not blend in. Which might be a bit interesting for an app about anonymity. :)
