What voice record portable do you recommend?

I would like to know if the voice records can record multiple voices in multiple tracks, i want to record some Portuguese voices from my family members for the characters in my upcoming mission, and have a portable voice record so i can record their voices while they are occupied doing things, bringing them to my room to record with my mic would take ages. what model do you recommend me to buy, i found this model in Amazon.fr:

(https://www.amazon.fr/Etekcity-Dictaphone-Ultra-Mince-Rechargeable-Enregistreur/dp/B019OQGT8M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493657490&sr=8-1&keywords=voice+recorder)

what do you think? Thanks in advance for suggestions and advises

I am an audio engineer and I've never heard of Etekcity before, so I would not recommend that one. Products by ZOOM are pretty reliable but they will cost more than the one you found on Amazon. If you are on a tight budget I would recommend getting a microphone attachment for your cellphone if you have a newer phone, because the audio processing in a modern cellphone will be way better than a cheap field recorder.

Thank you Phantom, good thing you mention the cellphone, because it happens that i actually have a sound recorder app in my cellphone, what microphone do you recommend me to purchase for my iphone ?

If you have an iphone, you can get Rode SmartLav+. Rode has its own app called Rode Rec to ensure max compatibility.

i have one myself and it is superb for its money.
i do record our band with this device in live situations and it sounds good. ( the recordings,not the band;) )

It appears there are many microphones for IPhones, but I have never used any. I would take Judith's advice and get one that has it's own app available!

Thank you Judith and Phantom.

Nightshifter, for how much are you selling your Microphone ?

I don't think he said he was offering to sell his... only that it was good quality for the price.

That said, Tascam recorders are very good, I used DR-05 mkII for single sound fx, voice, and ambience recording. Now I'm using Zoom H6, which is probably more than I'll ever need, but it met my expectations every time.
