Currently, accessing the settings requires a "long press" on the main clock screen. This was a deliberate design choice so that the clock itself looks clean (i.e. free of distracting buttons/clutter).

However, after watching several users, it's clear that finding the settings is unintuitive -- even with the pop-up explainer.

We want to make the settings easier to find so people can take better advantage of the customization options for the clock. Some options include:

  • Use onPress instead of onLongPress
    • Pros: Much easier to access
    • Cons: People might get frustrated if settings open off of an accidental tap.
  • Open settings with a swipe gesture (e.g. React Navigation Drawer)
    • Pros: Nice UX
    • Cons: Might still be unintuitive to find.
  • Add a temporary FAB (floating action button). Appears after tapping anywhere on the screen, and fades away after some number of seconds (e.g. 5-10 seconds).
    • Pros: I think this is the nicest design
    • Cons: A little more time consuming to implement.

After implementing this feature, the Toast should be removable in favor of the "intuitive" settings access.
