  * @description
- * Specify custom behavior when element is tapped on a touchscreen device.
- * A tap is a brief, down-and-up touch without much motion.
+ * A more powerful replacement for the default ngClick designed to be used on touchscreen
+ * devices. Most mobile browsers wait about 300ms after a tap-and-release before sending
+ * the click event. This version handles them immediately, and then prevents the
+ * following click event from propagating.
+ *
+ * This directive can fall back to using an ordinary click event, and so works on desktop
+ * browsers as well as mobile.
+ *
+ * This directive also sets the CSS class `ng-click-active` while the element is being held
+ * down (by a mouse click or touch) so you can restyle the depressed element if you wish.
  *
  * @element ANY
  * @param {expression} ngClick {@link guide/expression Expression} to evaluate
