About Approxitock: Word Clock Widget
Approxitock is a ‘humanized’ word clock which gives the approximate time in a conversational manner, reminiscent of a time when people would ask for the time from passers-by. This playful way of communicating the time can be used as a widget, a screensaver, and a watch face for Android Wear devices.

Each time you touch the widget it opens the settings wich is ridiculous. Make it speak the time or anything else.

I feel like I'm having a conversation with a human without actually having to talk to one. 10/10 would ask again!

Just downloaded and seems to be a keeper so happy to pay but can you tell me if the paid version allows you to assign an app/action when you tap the widget - ie go to the clock - or does it always stay on settings? I'm used to tapping on the clock widget to set my alarm so would prefer to keep it that way. Only reason why given 4*, assignable app/action would def make it 5*. Besides that, great stuff!
