I use iMaschine, GarageBand and occasionally FL Studio Mobile on my iPhone. All great apps, but all are limited. Can't beat using Live on the desktop/laptop.
Great for getting one's feet wet, or for ideas that spring to mind when you hear something cool on the street or on the train or whatever. Hear something, record it, manipulate it, and make a quick beat or riff on the spot.
However, like you, that's just a small part of the process, and if one wants to do something more with the sound they recorded, it needs to be moved to a more powerful platform - in this case a laptop. A DAW on the iPad is neat, but kind of stuck between usecases.
