Voice recording, good external mic and app to use

[PracticalMac]

I want to use my iPhone to record room conversation, but as you can guess the built in mic is not all that great for area recordings.

What do you recommend?
Small so portable.

What software? Is the iPhone recorder just fine, or have any limitations I should be aware of?

I have an old Sony Mic that I used with my Minidisc. idk if it would work with an iPhone.

Saying most mics will work on iPhone?

Or you need a special mini jack for Mic uses?

Yeah. You have to look and see which one will work with your iPhone. Some connect to a USB port like on the iPhone 4s. Some you can use a USB cable. You have to look at the ones that have a USB cable connection.
