If it doesn't work easily on a mobile device, it might as well not exist.
Unfortunately, you can't create new records from the mobile device with Keepass (at least, with the app I'm using; there are others). My technique is to not create high-value accounts from my mobile and for low-value accounts, I'm OK with just using a semi-secure, temporary password that I update when I'm back in front of the desktop.
Perhaps pwSafe is the app you need? Works beautifully on iOS and syncs with Dropbox and/or iCloud too!
Works just fine with version 1.x files
