MicW i437L Omnidirectional Lightning Microphone Reviews
Do you want a calibrated measurement mic that's small enough to fit in your pocket? Are you looking for the ultimate mic for your mobile device? You've found them both in one microphone: the MicW i437L Lightning Microphone. It complies with IEC 61672 Class 2 sound level meter standards, weighs only about 1/3 oz., and is under 2 inches long. But this tiny mic is big on performance; it has a signal-to-noise-ration of >62dB and a frequency response from 20Hz-20kHz. And since it employs an electret condenser design, there's no need for external power. Plus, the i437L's Lightning connection means it's perfect for smartphone and tablet use. For electronic news gathering (ENG), SPL metering, Real-time Analysis (RTA), or scratch-track recording, Sweetwater recommends the i437L as an excellent mobile, smartphone-ready mic.

Just good for RTA as far as I can tell
I tried to use this to record a client meeting in a restaurant, so I wouldn't have to bring in something larger or extra. The primary sources sounded good, but compared to the built in mic the background noise was 6-10 db higher.
