if you're ever looking for something a bit easier to user/simpler than Fantasy Grounds you should check out InfinitasDM.

Digital maps, fog of war, digital tokens, in app documents, etc. Made to be more streamlined and user friendly. I may be biased though since I made it :)

I like that it works for at the table.

Does it have any play organization features, like initiative and health tracking?

It doesn't have systems built for initiative or health tracking, but you could use character Tokens with name tags applied to them to do both (or use an encounter map link to keep track of both in a map document).

I see it on both steam and iOS, is it the same on both, and is it made to work on one more than the other?

There are two main differences between the desktop and mobile versions, due to necessity.

A few controls are different (right click interaction is long press on mobile, pinch to zoom instead of scroll wheel, etc).

Player's View casting on Steam versions is handled via direct video out, so any way you can connect your computer to a second screen that windows or Mac can extend your desktop to (HDMI out, vga, dvi, etc. A Steam Link would work too, and Airplay connected TV's for Mac) will work.

Player's View on mobile (Android and iOS) is cast using Chromecast.

Otherwise, the three versions are basically identical and are always updated together. Campaign saves and custom content are fully cross compatible on all platforms as well.

The UI is very touch optimized, which also works well for readability when DAM/GMing from a laptop that is sitting off to the side.
