Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.
Download on the App StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

Great list. Thank you!
I was looking for a AUv3 looper for a live session in AUM...
I don't see any...maybe Quantiloop will update?
Some AUv3's already scale nicely if the host allows it.
AUM let's you re-size AUv3...
Here's a shot of Yamaha FM Essentials in BM3...(The BM3 Plug-In Keyboard is hidden).
Ugh.. screen size fragmentation. Just what we didn't need.
That's not the default behaviour in BM3. Blame AUM for starting the scalable AUv3 windows thing
I have a gut-feeling we'll see scalable AUv3's during WWDC'17...
I'm sure the intentions are good, but this sort of funny business will introduce a boatload of extra effort for AU plugin developers - since the UI is one of the most time consuming parts of the project. It will not help adoption of the standard if we now have to make dedicated GUIs for every different host on every different device (I don't believe in nicely scalable UIs for plugin type apps).
The 'default size' is the same as GarageBand and Cubasis etc. so no need for worries here...
But I do have to admit it's quite handy to be able to have multiple AUv3 in AUM and most vector-based UI's scale nicely anyway. WWDC'17 is not too far away so in a month or so we'll know more about Apples intentions for iOS11.
I like having multiple AUv3 open too. Feels more like desktop plugin world. It's nice to scale a AUv3 up a bit even on my iPhone 6 Plus due to my sausage fingers lol!
I'd like the AU's to also have MIDI out into the host sequencer. For true "touch" plugins
@realdavidai said:
This; midi generators and sequencers in multi-instance plugin form would be awesome! I have pitched this a few times to various people @ Apple and apparently they are seriously looking into this.
Fingers crossed!! But even the mere possibility of it has now has made my week
Who knows, maybe we'll get a GarageBand update @ WWDC'17
I mean If Apple does some changes to AUv3 specs they sure need to have a host to demo them in too hehe...
Fingers crossed, although I'm not expecting much after the huge GB update we got in January.
Full automation integration in DAW's please with support for all parameters. Like the AU's in macOS.
it was heavenly
^^this!
Indeed. Would love to see what the team has planned for NAMM 2018
Quantiloop 2.1 (with AUv3 Host) support is currently in beta testing.
IOW QL will be able to host AuV3 fx. QL itself will still act as an IAA app.
Quantiloop 2.1 (with AUv3) support is currently in beta testing.
It will release soon.

Three more for the list:

BiasFX I have no idea what happened there. In the update summary on my ipad it clearly stated AU support, but I just updated and there’s no AU and the text is not on the page anymore.
This puts the list of my non-AU apps to 2:
Anyway, no more buying of non AU apps for me. Just not worth the trouble otherwise, and kills creativity as you cant resume a project easily later.
Kauldron (Yonac Inc)

Latest list is here: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/19939/latest-ios-au-auv3-list#latest
Thanks! wow it’s huge, I guess soon it’ll just be everything. Gotta love when everything just works together in unison...
GeoShred 3 is now live as an AUv3 Plugin, Can you add it to the list here.
GeoShred operates as both a synth and a MIDI/MPE controller.

Probably be shorter to have a list of NON AU apps now
