I need a better Alarm Clock

I just made the move from a long time verizon/samsung user to AT&T/iPhone XR. I like a lot of things about the XR EXCEPT the alarm clock. On my Samsung S6 the alarm clock could be set by the actual date as well as day of week like iPhones. I want an alarm clock that I can set multiple alarms per day and by date. I may want to set 3 alarms on June 3rd and 5 different alarms on June 20th and 2 alarms on July 4th etc... I want to be able to set multiple alarms past tomorrow. I really hate the fact I can't do this any more. Anyone know of a clock for my XR that will do that? I do want actual alarms not alerts that ding and gone.... Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

I searched for "alarm clock" in the App Store and saw several that look like they do what you want. I don't need one because I've got a Sony clock radio that does pretty much everything you asked for, so I can't recommend any from the app store specifically.

Note that third party alarms will not override Do Not Disturb or Mute that way the built in one does. They also may require that they be the active app in order to properly notify you.

Have you tried setting Calendar alerts instead?

Thank you for your reply. I tried alerts but neither the calendar nor alarm clock does the job I'm used to from samsung... I know, I don't have a samsung anymore but, there has to be something out there for iPhone that is comperable. I can't believe Apple hasn't changed this already as long as they've been around. And supposed to be a favorite of techies. But, Thanks again for the reply

I was really hoping someone would tell me about one they have found and use that does what I want instead of trying out a few dozen apps on the app store.
