Altitude is super off. I am to an location well above sea level and it says I’m -500 ft. Compass is off too.

Works great. Accurate enough for my use. If it's not fast enough for you there is a refresh rate setting you can play with.

A lot of latency and delay in the information of the degrees. Not recommendable

Hello! Did you try updating the refresh rate settings to 100 milliseconds?

Idk if I did something wrong but I can spin all the way around and the compass barely moves

Firstly Thank you for redoing this as a LITE Version and making it Free.... It finally brings a compass(ABC) that is worth having on the Fenix5x..... So right off the bat this is basically the Compass(ABC) app the dev does but without the charts.. And damn it s beautiful and functional all in one nice widget.. Everything is there that's important. Clean looking with smooth rotation of the compass...There are a few options relating to the compass etc plus colours. But that is ALL you need.. I was out on a SAR callout early hours of this morning and used this as my Primary compass and Altimeter, it performed perfectly... I cannot thank the Dev enough for the foresight of releasing the important functions of his ABC app as a LITE version. THANK YOU AGAIN for doing this............................................................................................................................................................................ So Folks if like me you Use the compass and Altimeter in your watch and need a GOOD compass/APP widget... USE THIS ONE... It has all you need. nothing more and nothing less................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... The only request I would make is could you please make this and App so it can be used constantly as the widget has a limit as you know...... This time limit for compass's is a pain when using it due to always having to reactivate it to see it. where as an App does not have the time limitations...

Thanks for your kind words! Unfortunately I cannot do anything about the screen display timeout (that's controlled by the system).
