> I fucking cannot set an one time alarm for a future date (Repeat = Never means just today), so I had to stupidly set up weekly alerts and change it whenever I need a new one-time. I hope I'm too stupid to find the magic option.
I think you're supposed to use the calendar for that.
Which is broken, because I want to be able to say “set an alarm at for next Wednesday at 4:30 AM“ the second I find out I have to give someone a ride to the airport.
If I have to make it a calendar entry, I may not notice it in time.
why do you have to go to calendar to set alarm ?
The alarm and the calendar can both alert you on a specific date and time. But like a bedside alarm clock, the iOS alarm is limited to a time in the next 24 hours.
On Android, why would you not use the calendar when you want to be alerted days from now?
Because on my Android phone, the alarm accepts a date and rings only on that date
Wat? Because a century old device can only set a repeating alarm, the 2025 $1k smartphone should, too?! I set so many one of alarms on my android weekly, I would be infuriated if I had to use the calendar for that.
