I'm a believer in oddball ideas, so I made (what I'm fairly certain is) the first sequencer for the iMessage App Store, MusicMessages! The interface is mainly comprised of a grid of buttons, each representing a musical note in time. Tap in a few melodious chords, play back your piece, and send it off to a friend or a group conversation. The other participants will be able to add their own changes and send you the revised version, eventually forming a complete piece of music over time. Each user's notes are marked with their selected color, making it easy to track the evolution of a piece over time. There are 5 layers of notes, 40+ instruments, and a percussion set to work with.
The base app is free with a one-time IAP to unlock all the odds and ends, and messages received from unlocked users can be edited with the full feature set for free.

Hope you find this little experiment enjoyable!
