I've found a few on YouTube that go over what some of the gadgets do but really playing around is the only thing that's helped me.

I kind of found that's probably the best way to get to know a synth. Analog or digital. That's how the musical pioneers had to do it, right :)

Get some gadget in your life.

This right here. Also take a look at the Cubasis app. It's pretty full featured traditional DAW.

Just curious - how come nobody likes Garageband for this stuff? At one point I dove deep into all the other stuff, spent a lot of time on Tabletop, buying the add ons, trying to do stuff, and then came back to Garageband and, well, honestly it's got some really good stuff - the looping, the synth modifying, piano roll... the one thing I'm not thrilled about is the lack of master effects. (This is all on my iPhone, btw.)

What does Gadget or iMaschine or any of those things do above and beyond plain old garageband?

Pretty much go with whatever works for you. The only rule is there are no rules. If you need mastering, get one of the apps by Igor Vasiliev and Audiobus.

On that subject, are there any other must-haves besides Gadget? I have a handful of the Korg apps already, but these are the ones I'm specifically considering:

-iWAVESTATION
-ARP ODESSEi
-Module
-iM1

I mostly know what these sound like (though I'm less familiar with Module & M1) so I'm curious if any of them really do interesting/useful things that may not be apparent from videos.

Since no one else seems to have mentioned it, check out Studio Amplify's KRFT:

It even has MIDI:
