1) This is not meant to be a spying device (given it can not remember anything more than 5 mins old anyway).
2)Instead it is meant to be kind of a "personal memory enhancer" .... so you are basically recording conversations you are a part of and there are no laws against that.
Infact an excellent use of this is to fight bullying, where you can capture the bully (or black mailer etc) without their knowledge and there is nothing illegal about it because you are a part of that conversation.
3) Nothing gets written to long term memory unless the user tells the app to do so.
4) we don't let the user do anything that they cannot already do with an actively recording (Apple supplied) Voice Memo app. We just it make more convenient to capture the interesting parts of their life without having to sift through gigs of audio data every day

Depends on your jurisdiction, at least in situations where the other party is not aware they are being recorded.
In the US, 12 states forbid recording of conversation without the consent of all parties. See http://www.rcfp.org/first-amendment-handbook/introduction-re... - some may exempt situations where the party being recorded should have a reasonable expectation of being recorded, e.g. consider a public speech.
Outside the US this can be an even thornier issue, with many countries having substantially stricter privacy laws.
