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.

Some devices may need rebooting to allow Approxitock to appear in the widget menu.

Please ensure that Approxitock is exempt from any task-killers you have installed, as this will interfere with the widget updating.
