FL Studio Moblie or Caustic 2?

Hey DSF, long time no see.
Anyway I've been looking for something to groove on when I'm not at home and can't really setup my laptop.
I have a galaxy tab and I saw that FL Studio is there and I've just recently heard about Caustic 2.
Which one would be better suited to someone wanting to work out ideas to use in songs later?
I know FL Studio is legit but Caustic looks like Reason. If I was familiar with FL Studio then it would be a no brainer but none of the DAWs I've used are even remotely close to either of these workflow-wise.
Any Suggestions?

I haven't really compared the features, but that Caustic doesn't appear as useful at first glance. I may have to have a look at FL Mobile though since you can dump the projects into FL studio : )

You can't demo Android Apps can you?

fl is pretty prime for getting down arrangement ideas quickly, though im not familiar with how it compares to caustic. quick thought... maybe DL the demo of fl to see how the workflow fits your style?

No demo for FL Studio Moblie, and dumping 20.00 for a tab app I wouldn't end up using if I didn't like it doesn't sound good either.

You have 15 minutes from when you download an app on android in which you can get an instant refund, I think you can get a refund after 15 but you would have to submit a claim or something.

it honestly looks like everyone who has commented so far hasn't used caustic..
caustic is VERY VERY impressive for a handheld app, it has synths with wavedrawing oscillators, FM capabilities, many FX and distortion types, etc. also you can record automation on ANY knob and watch them all move as you playback. the sampler can load soundfonts very well.
FL mobile doesnt have synths you have to use samples only and it lacks a lot of basic standard features. also its not really Image-Lines own product its a reskinned version of Music Studio by Xewton.
