Good question, I have no idea.  If you have enough storage I feel you will be 
safe there but I don't know about the battery life of an hour of constant 
recording.  Like Jonathan & Brian suggest I would get one of the Apps and give 
it a try so see if it's what you like and if you have enough storage.  As 
Jonathan also said by recording to the iPhone you will be able to move the 
recording to your Mac very easily.  

If you find it doesn't give you what you want you have only spent around $4.00 
to give it a try so you'll know if the quality is good enough.  By not using 
the Mikey you will not have used your plug for the microphone and you can keep 
the phone plugged in so there won't be a worry about the battery.  

If the final result is for you to remember for yourself than I bet you will be 
fine, if you are wanting to later produce a product that will be distributed to 
others than the best quality is paramount, that's why I spent a great deal for 
the instruction I took awhile back.  I would NEVER get another shot at this 
instruction, there would never be any opportunity like this so it HAD to be top 
quality, several folks were depending on it as was I.  If you get a change to 
record a person of extreme abilities and it's a one time thing then going cheap 
isn't the best choice.
