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.

A few more here (I would place Cubasis on the top):
DESKTOP APPS
FL Studio 12 - Scalable Vectorial Interface up to 8K resolution!
FL STUDIO 20 | Launch Video
(Unfortunately, FL Studio Mobile on iOS has a disastrous UI. Hope they update it on par with their desktop app - that would be a killer app)
Cubase
Bitwig
Ironically, the best DAW for EDM (Ableton) has the ugliest UI with flashy/fluorescent/cheap colors

My favorites are :
BS-16i with “Nice-Steinways-JNv5.8.sf2” from the Soundfonts4U site layered with “Keppy’s Steinway Piano Lite” from Keppy’s projects site. Set the scenes to factory presets then put the master volume around 2 o’clock and the reverb around 11 o’clock set on hall 2 load the two soundfonts both running on channel 1 and turn Keppy’s down a little lower on the mixer page. For me this is a killer piano...adjust to taste. I even enjoy playing with this with the onscreen keyboard showing 3 octaves on an iPhone 8+ great app...
The “Nice-Instruments-Extended-V1.3.sf2” covers the rest of what I need.
KQ Dixie with about 30,000 DX7 patches from the web.
GarageBand for ease of use iaa to record the above jams and its electric piano.
Audiobus 3
AUM
Xequence
AEMS
Roland sound canvas a lot bit$h about this app but hey it’s over 1000 sounds to tinker with when board. Nice midi file player too and fun to change/solo instruments,slow down songs to catch riffs,etc.. Plays well with GarageBand and can control with BS-16i when you put it on the bus.
Hardware :
iPhone 8 Plus
IRig Keys io 49
M-Audio BX5 monitors
