Here are the currently supported formats for export:


If none of them are directly compatible with the software you use, there are still a couple more options:
a) Ask the RC developer to add those export formats (he is fairly responsive, and generally open to support more import/export formats)
b) Write your own converter from one flavor of CSV to the one you need (in case you have at least basic Python knowledge)

I've heard about this software before, but didn't realize they can be used for free in these cases — thanks!

Good news is that in order to test whether exporting in the desired format(s) works, you don't need to buy or build any hardware. For starters you can just test whether exporting of phone's GPS data works.

5) ability to conveniently review data between sessions

With RaceChrono, you can review data whenever you can use a phone.
In my personal experience, it's incredibly useful to be able to see the sector breakdown and comparison between laps. After each session I see where my next "opportunities" are, and focus on those, rather than "try to mildly overcook the whole lap and see what happens".

I believe most AIM products require using a laptop (laptop!) and additional software to be able to review things.
That IMO is something not everyone is going to bother doing after each session.
Whereas with RaceChrono (and probably HLT?), reviewing data is so accessible that why not?
