Can you recommend calendar app w/ fine-tuned alerts?

I desparately need to find a calendar app where you can fine-tune the alerts, e.g., 15 hours, 7 minutes, etc.. --& where the alert lasts longer than the blip that's on the iPhone 4S. Ideally, once it alerts you, I'd like it to go off again in a few minutes (my Palm would alert me every 10 minutes, 3 times, until I dismissed it. This was a life-saver.). I have severe memory problems and am in a panic over the loss of my Palm program on previous phone.

This was the only reason I purchased a smart phone, and I'm finding it's not as smart as it thinks it is. 😉My Palm program was much, much better.

Many thanks.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3

There is an app called Alarmed that will go off repeatedly. I find it useful for reminding me to drink water every so often and so forth. Week Cal will allow you to set custom alarms where you can select the number of days, hours and minutes.

Thank you so much. I am still studying what's out there and it's so difficult to tell from the short descriptions. I'm trying to infer if what I need is out there by all of the customer comments.

You no doubt have solved my question, but I still need to figure out what each offers.

Take a look at CalAlarm on the App Store, you can snooze an event indefinitely and repeatedly, and for any duration. Been using it now for a while, works well.

I have no need for such an app. Perhaps, even though it's been almost since this post was active, the OP is still looking for such an app.

Best of luck.
