why does he not want to record to mp3? mp3 and wav are both going to be low quality thru the phone's mic

I concur, this is my go-to with the d:vice and DPAs. Though I do find the level meters a bit inaccurate.

Voice Recorder Pro and Apogee MetaRecorder are both better,
the metering is only one of the things that are better. My opinion, feel free to try yourself. These are free too.

MetaRecorder is very nice, I agree, but you need to pay if you want to record more than 60seconds. But a good chance to try it out before deciding.
