Hi Ari, I don't have a lot of information on less expensive microphones. If you went with one of the zoom microphones, I would suggest the IQ6 which you can use in just about any recorder app. Perhaps others have suggestions for less expensive microphones.

I really don't know about recording anything, and don't really need to cover a wide area, like a hall or anything. I'm not doing any kind of professional level recording. I just want something that sounds better than the internal microphone on the iPhone. Which mic do you think would be a good fit, then? I don't necessarily want to post process or anything like that. Would the IQ mic be too much Mic, then? Do you think I would be better served with something a little simpler?
