For $2.99 you are getting what you paid for.
Maybe if you have a real, calibrated meter that you can compare with an iTunes/iPhone meter you can make some comparisons.

Today, I spoke to Mark with Audio Control located in Mountlake Terrace Washington, just north of Seattle. He indicated the cell phone app from iTunes is not as bad as I thought and is within 5db, but limited (back to you get what you pay for).
He did say he keeps this app on his phone when he gets pulled over in his supped up Mustang because I guess legally you can’t be over 90db, and since it’s off a tad, works in his favor.
Anyway, they offer a iTestMic2, the only direct-connect iOS calibrated test & measurement microphone.
You need to pair this with an app from their partner Studio Six Digital, here is a link that really lays out the detail, all for around $220.00.

Thank you to everyone for their suggestions!
