How to set alarm for more than 24 hours?

I just missed an important dental operation because my iPhone alarm could not be set more than 24 hours in advance. Does anyone know of an app that a 3rd party has created to substitute for the 24 hour Apple app?

Steve Jobs created the iPhone to supports needs we didn't know we had. Surely Apple could easily add a calendar to their 24-hour Alarm app. or loud alarms to their calendar.

Here's a workaround in iOS 16 and iOS 17 using the Clock app to set an alarm more than 24 hours, but 7 or fewer days in advance.

Set the alarm as a Repeating alarm.

Example: It's now Monday at 8 AM.

I want to set a one-time alarm for Tuesday at 11 am.

Open the Clock app.

Navigate to Alarms at the bottom of the app screen.

Select + to Add Alarm

Select 11:00 AM for the time.

Repeat is displayed as Never

Touch Never, and change it Repeat to Every Tuesday.

(You can also set a specific Alarm to repeat more than one day (up to 7 days) at the same time by tapping to checkmark each additional day of the week.)

If you only need it to occur once and don't want it to repeat every Tuesday at 11 AM, just delete it or edit the alarm entry.

Sometimes a cheap alarm clock, a calendar, a roommate, or a friend who will call to remind you, are better solutions to time management than a $1000 smartphone.

Or maybe the highly touted $1,000 smartphone should be better engineered to handle a really simple and freakishly common need that nearly every single one of us needs at some point.

Yes, I feel the same way and I have the same issue, especially with the notifications and alerts that you can set in the calendar app I have never once noticed an audible alert or reminder for the entire existence of the iPhone and the ability to set an audible alert for hours or days a week in advance of the date! HOW IN 2024 a phone for +$2000 CANT SET A TIMER FOR ONLY 24 HOURS?? WHY NOT ALLOW US TO SET EACH INDIVIDUAL DIGIT RATHER THAN A COUNTERPRODUCTIVE ROTATING DIAL!!??

People have been making appointments far into the future for centuries. Why all of a sudden do we feel we can “blame” Apple for us being late or missing appointments ? We are still capable of taking care of ourselves without deflecting responsibility for our own mistakes onto IPad.

Yes, it's more then horrible, not only alarm but many other day to day thinks..like simple copy paste!!!!

Anyway solution is go to app store and download app GALARM , it works perfectly...ty
