Starting out
So I have all these music apps, so where do you guys start when it comes to creating a song, not sure if I just don’t have the right app or not but everything is just so tedious…any suggestions?? Just so tedious on my ipad

What's tedious?
Setting up instruments and midi etc? Set up template sessions in your DAW with the setup already done so you can open a template and get right to playing.
Coming up with musical ideas? There are apps out there to suggest melodies and chord progressions. Check out "Piano Motifs" as a great example, or Chordbud or Melodybud.
Recording/Mixing/Mastering? I think these activities are a bit tedious by nature, not sure what to say there.
Just get Novation GrooveBox and start making music as easily as 1...2...3...
(Waves magic wand) I hereby absolve you from having to make music on an iPad. 😉

BTW, long time no see here, @jdolecek49. Where have you been, mate?
It is unlikely to be a matter of having the right app. It it probably a matter of finding the discipline to use them. It may be the case that you are distracted by the tools you have. Maybe start simple. If you are new to writing and recording music, keep in mind that these are skills that take time to develop.
Maybe describe how you go about things and post some examples.
You might want to do some courses with a teacher if you don't know how to get started...or do some online lessons.
Work out what all the boring stuff that you have to do for every project and create a template in Cubasis/AUM for it. You want to be able to sit down and start creating something as quickly as possible. Also try to reduce your choices. Find a workhorse synth that you like. If you use samples, organize them so it's easy to find and drop samples into a project. Pick a compressor/reverb/delay that you know/like and use it as your default.
Separate out music creation, from mixing, from sound design. Always be thinking about how you can move forward with something good enough. Does your kick work as a kick - great, move on and start doing a bassline. There's no point trying to get it perfect, as inevitably what you pick now won't work further down the line so you'd need to tweak it whatever. Get into the habit of only tweaking when you have a blockage - and keeping tweaking to a minimum.

Korg Gadget and a YouTube:
"How cool is that!"
Then you can come back and complain about not being able to use any of your other purchases. Still, Gadget will get you going pretty fast.
Bro just use Drambo. It’s the least tedious app out there BY FAR.
I have been trying to figure out what platform to use, in fact I just bought a Maschine
